CHANGING THE STORY

Over the past few years I have been living a story. It’s one that I tell myself daily. It is a simple story, filled with the excuses of why “I can’t.” In this story I continually place my family and work responsibilities at the top of the priority list while my health, fitness and emotional well-being fall to the bottom. I know this story very well because it is not just my own, I hear it each day from most of my clients as well. It is the story of “I don’t have time.”

I’m a massage…

Not Just Any Movement, You Need Functional Movement

The Human Body is a mechanical work of art. By design it is capable of a ridiculous amount of movement patterns, all at different degrees of intensity, from slow and steady to explosive and short. The ability to crawl, walk, run, jump, and climb each require an amazingly sophisticated movement system. This system sets us apart from all other species on the planet. But there is one catch… If you don’t use it you literally lose it.

Why you lose it

One of…

THE SCAPULA: THE MAST AND SAILS OF THE BODY

This is the final installment of my series on Posture. A few weeks ago, I describedposture as the absolute need for stability.

“It is from stability that all healthy movement is derived.”

I keyed in on the feet as the foundation and the hips as the ballast of the body.…

THE HIPS – THE BODY’S BALLAST

Last week I demonstrated that the foot is the foundation of your posture (see: Injury Prevention Begins at your Foot). In the article I discussed the role of the feet in providing stability and mobility for the body and gave examples of corrective exercises to build strength, stabilization, and mobility in the…

THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR POSTURE | INJURY PREVENTION BEGINS AT YOUR FOOT

SELF TREATMENT FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS BY JESSE JAMES RETHERFORD

Over the past week, I have seen a “mini-epidemic” — two new clients and email correspondence with a third — of a common but painful foot injury, plantal fasciitis. Living in Austin, with such an active outdoors culture, plantar fasciitis is one of the more common issues I treat. It is also one of the most common foot injuries in the United States. As reported by Pubmed, two million Americans suffer from plantar fasciitis each year…

Ashi-Thai

Ashi-Thai is a brand new modality that is sure to thrill many massage therapists. Like traditional Thai massage, the client is clothed, and no oil or cream is used. The therapist maneuvers the client into various positions that loosens and relaxtes the muscles.

Unlike Thai massage, the client receives the massage on a massage table with his face comfortable in a face cradle while in the prone position. Overhead bars provide balancing support for the therapist as she uses her… Continue

Bamboo-fusion massage

Like the effects of hot stone massage? A lot of people do. I, however, have no love for actually doing the massage. Why?

Because the set up time, clean up time is a pain. I have curly hair, so the hot water steaming about my face every time I pick up a stone frizzes my hair.

The perfect solution for me was Bamboo-fusion. The bamboo tools are high quality sticks that are solid bamboo. Fused together in a fashion similar to that of cutting board, they hold the heat well and are a… Continue

Someone posted an article about foot pain and our staff and alumni responded.

Someone posted “What is the best modality for foot pain? Foot pain can exist in many areas, plantar surface, dorsal surface, deep, superficial, and can be caused by multiple factors. Which modality would you use to alleviate conditions of the feet?” I tried to find the article which was posted a week ago but it's been deleted. Anyhow, here's a few responses from some of the staff and alumni at ASIS, including a few NCMTBM CE providers here at ASIS.

This is from Wendy Hines,… Continue
