Interdisciplinary

Ling-uistics (History of Massage Part 1) with the Healwell Braintrust


Listen Later

We missed you! Have you missed us? Enough to listen to some thoughts from the bottom of a can? In this episode, Corey takes Rebecca, Kerry, and Cal on a tour through the history of massage in the Western world -- from rubbing to massage therapy, from cutaneous exercise to human potential. (Part 1 of 2.)

We appreciate your patience with Cal and Kerry's poor audio quality. The conversation was so good that they called in from their travels just to join in. We're all back at our desks, with headphones, after this 2-episode arc.

Abby Cox and others debunking the myths about Victorian corsetry
