James L.
Oschman is
excited to be
participating in
research that
may benefit the
lives of millions
of people.
Most of us
know walking
barefoot on
the earth feels great; James and
his colleagues believe they have
found out why and what it means
for massage and bodywork.

he enjoys relaxing with his wife
and watching Modern Family or
an old episode of Friends.
