Eight: Healthcare and the Role of the Massage Therapist with Chris Semenuk

This week CT and Dale sit down and talk with Chris Semenuk, RMT and former National Senior Gold Medalist for 400m 1996 and Bronze Medalist in 4x400m relay 1997. This was an opportunity to discuss some of the legal issues and complex workplaces healthcare practitioners face. Chris also got to share some of the potholes patients face when attempting to navigate the healthcare system, and the lack of legal compliance that exists for many healthcare practitioners.
