Things Massage Therapists Say That Would Get Them Fired If They Worked Somewhere Else

A Facebook poster recently posed the question in a massage humour group “What is something that you said today at work that if you worked someplace different would get you fired?“ As a disclaimer for the masssage industry, many of the answers below are from therapists to clients (or between therapists) where there is an established relationship so more casual than for a first professional interaction. “Can I touch your butt?” Damn, you got a tight butt!Hey you wanna stick…

When Biomechanics DOESN’T Matter: Dr. Greg Lehman

Please note that this page is mainly for my personal reference. My notes from viewing YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxEVBVlHpQE Biomechanists find dysfunctions. Muscle timing changes, muscle tightness, ROM, weakness, stability, glute inhibition, lower crossed syndrome, altered motor control etc. We thought that biomechanics was relevant. But how many biomechanical research findings have changed clinical practice for pain? (maybe helps with injuries but not pain. Biomechanical studies try to improve how we function. We must answer: Once defined and measured is it…

Myth One: Imaging shows the cause of pain. Abnormalities are common with people without symptoms. eg 30% of people have meniscual tears without pain. Asymptomatic changes are common – are-related just like wrinkles in the skin. Sometimes imaging finds abnormalities that were present prior to person experiencing pain. Myth Two: Imaging predicts outcomes. Just because…

Massage Education – Why Are Most Teachers Men?

Massage Education – Why Are Most Teachers Men?

The vast majority of massage therapists are women. Yet the majority of high profile teachers of massage education are males (and being honest, most of these are white Anglo males as well). This often brings about consternation from female therapists about why they are misrepresented at the upper echelons of the massage teaching profession. Is it another example of the patriarchal society we inhabit or are there valid reasons for it? Without getting to heavily into arguments about glass ceilings…
