“We should expect results from our professional association the same way our patients and clients expect results from us everyday” 
- Don Dillon, RMT

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

This episode of The Radical RMT podcast features Don Dillon, RMT. Don is a practitioner, speaker, and practice coach. He began his massage practice in 1991 and he has worked in chiropractic, spa, and medical facilities before operating his own clinic in a fitness club for many years. He now has a home based practice in the Niagara area. Don has written articles appearing in several professional publications in Canada, US, and Australia. Don has received the Ontario Massage Therapist Association President’s Award of Merit, Two Hand of Thanks certificates, and the Ken Rezsnyak award. This award is bestowed annually to a member who embodies the true meaning of the profession in addition to going above and beyond for the betterment of the profession. In 2012 Don was honoured with ONE concept’s Massage Therapist of the Year award in Canada. 

Don is here to talk about Advocacy and how we can be better advocates for our massage profession in order to move our profession forward. I was glad to have Don on the podcast to discuss this topic as I often feel useless when it comes to knowing what I can do that will make a difference. He delivers with clear, tangible steps we can all take big or small in order to remain active in communicating with our peers, educating the public, and the ways we can ask our association to deliver results.

I would love to hear how this episode has inspired you and the small steps you are taking to advocate for massage therapy and the future of our profession.
​

I hope you enjoy this episode!
