Pressure Points https://allanskok.podbean.com Welcome to Pressure Points, the podcast from the Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy. In each episode, we sit down with the people who bring this profession to life—our graduates, the practitioners and educators driving it forward, the patients who experience its impact firsthand, and the influential voices shaping its future. It's part career roadmap, part community, and part celebration of massage therapy from every angle. New conversations added throughout the year as our speaker series grows. Pull up a seat and listen in.
