Meet the Presenters:
Eric Purves RMT, MSc
Eric Purves is the leader of the Centre for Evidence-Based Education, like most massage therapists he began his career filling his “tool box” with as many modalities as possible, believing that the right modality was what was needed to help his clients, but it seemed that no matter how many techniques he learned his patients weren’t improving any faster. After years of frustration, and the realisation that most patient’s primary goal was to live pain free, he made the decision to delve into pain-based research and massage therapy, by enrolling in the Masters of Rehabilitative Science program at the University of British Columbia.
When he applied this knowledge to his practice he discovered that his patients had better treatment outcomes. Since then he has dedicated his career to educating fellow massage and manual therapists in pain science and evidence-based practices. He created the Centre for Evidence-Based Education to empower massage therapists to improve patient outcomes by providing the best practices in evidence based care.
