Rubber Barbers (History of Massage Part 2) with the Healwell Braintrust
Send us a text
This week we continue our Corey-guided tour through the history of massage therapy in the Western world, from the FDA to present day. (Part 2 of 2.)
We appreciate your patience with Cal and Kerry's poor audio quality. They're still in a can, but will be out for the rest of this season.
