The Assiniboine river rises in southeastern Saskatchewan and joins the Red River at forks in Winnipeg.Its route was well traveled by fur traders, and after 1850 settlement crept westward from the forks, where light, dry soil offered better farming prospects. The name was taken from the Asiniboine who inhabited the area. Assiniboine (or Assiniboin) received their name from an Ojibwa word for their practice of boiling food by dropping heated rocks into water. They were first described in the Jesuit Relations as having split off from the Yanktonai Sioux sometime prior to 1640. From a homeland around the Mississippi headwaters, they moved northwest, to the Lake of the Woods and towards Lake Winnipeg. At the peak of their power their territory ranged from the Saskatchewan and Assiniboine river valleys in Canada to the region north of the Milk and Missouri rivers in the US.

Massage Therapy studies are based upon studies in the Health Sciences. It is this foundation of Health Sciences studies that serves to validate and support Massage Therapy as a healthcare modality and a complementary therapy to other healthcare modalities that also possess a foundation in these studies.
These studies are important for a Massage Therapist, because without adequate training:
errors in choice of treatment method may occur, resulting in injury
pain, bruising, and/or inflammation could result from a treatment
the presenting condition could be exacerbated, thus becoming chronic or disabling
contraindications to massage treatment might not be recognized, thus leading to threat to overall health
the need for other healthcare modalities to treat the condition might not be recognized by the therapist
treatment progress may not be adequately measured, therefore, treatment modifications may be overlooked.
