Massage & Bodywork CBD Special Issue Nominated for Publishing Award

The September/October 2019 issue of Massage & Bodywork, featuring a 16-page special section on CBD and massage, was recently nominated for two prestigious Maggie Awards. The issue was nominated for Best Feature Article and Best Cover.

“We are extremely proud of earning this designation,” said Darren Buford, editor of Massage & Bodywork. “Our team stretched from Kentucky to California on this issue. We wanted to do a deep dive on CBD and provide the most in-depth and up-to-date coverage available for the profession.”
