Rob Granter, a Featured Presenter at the World Massage Conference
I’m excited to announce that I have been invited to be a featured presenter for the 2011 World Massage Conference. I would love for you to join me.
This is a virtual conference that you attend by logging into your computer. It’s the largest event in the history of massage and over 15,000 massage therapists and bodyworkers from around the world are expected to register for this year’s event.
I’m presenting on My Top 10 Tips for Success in Sports Massage, however, the presentation will be very relevant for anyone wanting to build their practice in all aspects of Hands-on therapy. I’ll be in the chat room after my presentation to chat with you one-on-one if there is time.
I’ll be joined by more than 40 other presenters, all top massage experts from around the world and you can get over 50 hours of continuing education.
The conference starts in November with pre-conference lectures already in place, so check it out now. For more information or to register now go to:

If you belong to a partner association, for example AAMT or MNZ (for our Australasian region practitioners) you can get access to the conference at a reduced rate.
All the best,
Robert Granter

Dr Karim Khan Delivers Important Message for All Health Practitioners
Dr Karim Khan, Sports Medicine Doctor now based in Vancouver Canada, gave the Annual FC Better Sports Medicine lecture last Thursday in Melbourne. His powerful message is that inactivity is the biggest cause of death in our modern society. This Inactivity is more destructive that Smoking, Obesity and Diabetes PUT together.
His message to us, as members of the Health industry, is to advise our patients / clients and our communities that ACTIVITY IS MEDICINE in order to cultivate physical and mental health and to avoid the destructive “force” that INACTIVITY has on our bodies.
So how much Physical activity is enough? Karim showed that it is best to keep this message clear and not to over-complicate this point.
So 1. ANY physical activity is OK.
2. The research shows that 30mins of Physical activity per day gives a 30% reduction in your risk of death from causes such as cardio-vascular failure and 60 mins per day gives close to 50% reduction. This time may sound alot to many people but when broken down to either 2 or 4 X 15 minute segments per day, it become achievable.
