Part 1: three results from one client's massage therapy session

Hello, new readers! This post describes how an active (or inactive) lifestyle affects the human body (specifically muscle aches and pains). Tomorrow I'll tell you three very specific ways I helped one client with aches and pains related to her job.
  • Our muscles adapt to the activities we repeat over and over. Muscle memory is great! It allows us to improve at doing the things we love to do. You can see babies develop muscle memory as they learn to stand and walk, and you will see it in your own body if you have a physical job or hobby (more on muscle memory).
  • It can also lead to dysfunction/injury. For example, a man who drives an hour to work and remains seated for 6-8 hours might feel fine until he shovels snow when he gets home.
  • One of the ways I help people get relief from injuries is through integrated therapy. Integrated therapy builds on a massage therapist's knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and massage therapy.
Part 1: three results from one client's massage session
=======================

Chief complaint: chronic soreness in back/neck
Session description: 60 minutes of integrated therapy (upper body)

After the session, the client complimented me on:
  1. giving a unique massage during each session 
  2. using a T-bar tool around the shoulder blades 
  3. relaxing the lower back
All I did was ask her if she felt better. Wow!
