Hands at the Table

Hands at the Table

By Bori Suranyi & Jeff Bramhall

Hands at the Table shows massage therapists how powerful our profession can be.
Cohosts Bori Suranyi and Jeff Bramhall believe that as a craft and as a profession, massage therapy is only limited by a therapist's imagination and willingness to put in the work.
By sharing what we’re learning, what we’re working on, and what’s captured our interest, we hope to broaden your perspective, inspire you to set your standard high, and invest in your craft.

071 - How Emotions Are Made & Predictive Coding

Half book review and half "maybe this is why the work works" discussion, about a year ago Jeff read Lisa Feldman Barrett's How Emotions Are Made and has been mulling it over ever since.


Credit to two others in the field for pointing us down this path.

  • Science of Touch's Eddie Ulm for providing a framework of bodywork through a predictive coding lens.
  • The authors of this paper for linking predictive coding to osteopathy.
