Postural Assessment Using Pictures - Insight Anyone?

I'm beginning to assess posture using photographs. I want to ensure I have the most accurate representation of my clients' postural changes... any suggestions on how to do this? Does anyone incorporate this method regularly in practice? My idea is to print out all of the pictures and lay transparent graph paper over the photos... What do yall think?

Massage For Arthritis

Did you know that massage can play a significant role in alleviating the symptoms brought on by arthritis? According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis costs the U.S. as much as $128 billion annually! Research has found massage can help with arthritis by increasing your body’s ability to produce endorphins which reduce pain in the body and gentle massage and stretching can reduce arthritis pain usually caused by spasms. 

 

Massage on a regular basis eases the symptoms that…

Meeting in the Middle

One of my fondest dreams is coming true! For several years I’ve been preaching the sermon on my blog that I wanted our national massage organizations to play nice together and it is happening! Earlier today I got the news that all seven of our major organizations will come together for a summit meeting in St. Louis on Sept 13-14. St. Louis is centrally located, and it’s neutral ground. None of the groups involved are headquartered there.

The…

Intuition = Truth

When you peel back the layers of the desire to know Truth, you can find Truth through Intuition! (intuition inspired information that streams through our consciousness at lightning speed)

What is your Truth? Please do not misunderstand what I am asking. I am not advocating that the answer is the same for everyone.  No one can tell you what the 'true answer' or the 'right answer' is for you.  When I speak about Truth, I am talking…

A belly full of wisdom

Your belly, gut, tummy, stomach etc. is a popular place, with both bad bacteria that can cause all sorts of disorders and healthy bacteria that boost your immune system and is now known to be the seat of your immunity. This would account for all the 'prebiotic and probiotic' pills, drinks, foods, etc. you now see advertised.



It has been known for centuries that fermented foods are healing.1 Yogurt and kefir help to keep a proper balance of healthy bacteria in your intestines, thereby… Continue

What the Heck is Intuition?

We use the terms: ‘the sixth sense’, ‘the inner voice’, ‘the mother’s instinct’, ‘the gut feeling’ to describe intuition. Intuition is knowing something without evident knowledge.

How does one tap in to ‘the inner voice’ or ‘the gut feeling’ without using the five physical senses of sight, smell, sound, taste, or touch? Better yet, what if you try to tap into your intuition and you don’t sense anything at all, or you get bogus or dead wrong information?

There are two…

Touch, Pressure, and Meeting the Pain

by Walt Fritz, PT

One topic which keeps repeating itself, whether I am treating or teaching, is what is the “right” amount of pressure? Myofascial Release is performed with great variations in pressure and depth, with the therapist making in-the-moment decisions as to the correct pressure at any time. Some schools of Myofascial Release…
