Much within the profession of massage therapy is done according to tradition. From an epistemological viewpoint, tradition is a way of knowing or, by extension, being, that is based upon both tenacity and authority and not always in best practices. As the profession of massage therapy moves in the direction of evidence-based medicine, or evidence-informed practice, the opportunity to re-evaluate massage therapy education presents itself.
按摩疗法行业内的很多做法都是依照传统进行的。从认识论的角度来看,传统是一种认知方式,或者更广泛地说,是一种存在方式,它基于固执己见和权威,而并不总是基于最佳实践。随着按摩疗法行业朝着循证医学或循证实践的方向发展,重新评估按摩疗法教育的机会就出现了。
