Course Info
What's it all about?
Unofficially, I wanted to call this course "Pain Science, so What?"
This is not another pain science course.
Over the last decade, a lot of us have taken an interest in evidence-based practice, pain science, and a biopsychosocial (BPS) approach to treatment…
…but we’re still walking away from courses confused about how this should change our practice on Monday morning!
If you want to skip to the part where we focus on what is useful, this course might be for you.
This is a course that will fit your practice whether you’re a Cranio/Visceral practitioner, or more of a structurally based therapist. It offers a flexible framework to fit anyone’s practice!
After all, we are more similar than different.

Taylor Laviolette, RMT
[email protected]
Taylor James (he/him) is a Registered Massage Therapist, educator, and curriculum developer dedicated to advancing massage therapy education and practice.
In practice since 2007, Taylor has spent his career teaching, developing curriculum, and presenting on evidence-based approaches to musculoskeletal care. As a core instructor and subject matter expert at one of BC’s premier massage therapy colleges, he played a key role in shaping massage education and training future RMTs. He is also a co-developer of a new RMT curriculum set to launch soon, designed to foster a more integrated, adaptable, and clinically relevant approach to massage therapy education.
Taylor has had the honour of presenting at medical conferences to physicians, surgeons, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and mental health professionals, helping advance the conversation on modern, evidence-informed musculoskeletal care.
Massage therapy is his passion. He believes RMTs are uniquely positioned to provide high-value care for those living with musculoskeletal pain. Whether structurally focused, fascially oriented, or integrating craniovisceral techniques, there is room for everyone at the table. The real question is: Are we ready to update our story?
Taylor believes massage therapists are uniquely positioned to provide high-value care for people living with musculoskeletal pain. Whether structurally focused, fascially oriented, or integrating craniovisceral techniques, there is room for every practitioner at the table—an approach he calls pan-modality.
