Martha Brown Menard, PhD, CMT, has been a massage therapist in private
practice since 1982. She completed her PhD in research methodology at
the University of Virginia (UVA) in 1995, and designed one of the
first randomized controlled trials of massage therapy for surgical
patients. Dr. Menard currently serves as director of research for the
Potomac Massage Training institute in Washington, DC, where she

research literacy for complementary practitioners, and co-authors a
