Treating Conditions For Our Learning

25 September 2007

My sister (fellow Massage Therapist) said that after being in practice for as many years as she has been, she’s noticed that her client’s conditions come in spurts of common ailments. She believes it was and still is for her learning of different treatments and to refresh her memory. Personally I’ve noticed this to be true so far and that many people coming to me are doing so with sciatic issues, most with an impingement in the piriformis muscle others in lumbar. I also have many clients with tension headaches from tight upper traps and rhomboids. More recently I have encountered an influx of frozen shoulder and a new client with scoliosis.

I have this awesome pathology/assessment/application/self-help book that I lovingly refer to as the “Green Monster” because it’s green, huge and full of dead useful information. My sister and I would like this site to be a resource for therapist and clients to be able to come and find ways to better themselves and find useful treatment ideas. We look forward to learning and growing with you all.
