One my mentors and one of the best massage therapists ever, Barbara Sharp. She was grandfathered in from when licensing wasn’t even a thing! She has a wealth of knowledge and recently taught me the mind-body connection between the jaw and hip muscles. The power of consent and vocalizing your intention, especially being a man in the industry, was also discussed.

Muscle testing is incredibly important to gather information about the client and is a skill that doesn’t get utilized often! I’m not proficient enough to offer muscle testing, quick self-fixes, or intra-oral work yet, but will continue to study and practice until I am confident in it.

We will be having a study and practice group strictly for licensed massage therapists on the last Mondays of each month, mainly focusing on Advanced Assisted Thai Stretches from my most recent certification with Dr. Camden Clay. DM me if you would like to join us (must have experience in Thai massage or be familiar with Dr. Clay’s teachings)! 🙏🏽☀️

My newest partner- Liz and I provide mobile couples massages and pop-ups! She’s a very talented licensed massage therapist who recently moved here from New York! Would love to introduce her to my other massage therapist friends and network! 💆🏻‍♀️💆🏽‍♂️

One of the perks of seeing me is that we’ll let you bring your doggo (if they’re well behaved of course!) If you’re someone that absolutely needs their dog around or if you’re dog sitting- bring them! I absolutely adore pups so they’re always welcome. 🤩🐶

✨August is National Wellness Month, which is the perfect time to prioritize self-care.⁠
⁠
This month, we celebrate personal wellness, managing stress, and making healthy lifestyle choices in our routines.⁠

As practitioners, we often prioritize the well-being of others before our own. And even though we live busy lives, here’s your reminder to incorporate personal wellness into your everyday routine.⁠
⁠
💡Here are some simple ways you can step back and focus on you:⁠
⁠
1. Get outside and exercise.⁠
2. Drink lots of water.⁠
3. Get eight hours of sleep.⁠
4. Relax and do things that make you smile.⁠
5. Cut back on sugar.⁠
6. Schedule a massage!⁠

FASCIAL COMPARTMENTS
⠀
[FASCIAL ANATOMY - OSTEOPATHIC APPROACH]
⠀
Posterior view of the pelvic region reveals interesting fascial links from thorax to pelvis to lower extremity.
⠀
This view is much closer to reality that many “muscle only” pictures.

The concept of named muscles is a manifestation of isolationist dissectors of years past who likely equated their findings on a dissection table to that of a butcher.
⠀
Protein “cuts” seemed to take shape and were named as muscles. However, this illustration shows the real anatomy which is an interconnected web of connective tissue that happens to have “compartments” that house contractile protein bundles.
⠀
The left side shows the fascial compartments for the glute max, semimembranosus and biceps femoris. On the right the compartment for the quadratus femoris is shown with the muscle protein removed.
⠀
One can easily see how muscle chains are the true reality as no muscle is isolated but is in fact just compartments along a much larger fascial system.
⠀
This concept can change the clinician’s approach to myofascial therapy or acupuncture. The best therapeutic effects may come from targeting fascial lines or chains rather than individual muscles only. Always think links.

Thanks to its unique shape, the trapezius is one of the body’s most recognizable muscles. The trapezius is a flat, triangular muscle of the posterior thorax that covers the superior and posterior parts of the neck and shoulders. It plays a role in the movements of the shoulder girdle and the neck. Learn more about the trapezius with our eBook: https://www.visiblebody.com/ebooks/ebook-library-form
