The Lack of Physical Boundaries in the Massage Therapy Profession
by Lisa T.
I just went on YouTube and looked at a few deep tissue massage therapy instruction videos. It seems like everyone is in on the video track these days so I have to come up with a plan to overstep them in quality. I need to show how I work. Most of them had inappropriate comments saying, “He/she can massage me any time!” Clients are paying for a professional service in an office, not a hook-up! The fact is, it doesn’t […]

What’s In There?
by Lisa T.
I get that question a lot from patients when they can feel their muscle adhesion roll around like a marble, it’s tender, or it’s making noise. The contracted muscle tissue is quite noisy; as noisy as your joint adjusting (cracking). This is when the patient on the table needs to calm their imagination. It’s not a tumor, a bug, a parasite, or some kind of monster. It’s your flesh. Your flesh is muscle and blood so your muscle knots (adhesions) […]

Muscles and Blood are Most of your Anatomy
by Lisa T.
I want to change the name of my business to, “It’s the Muscles” because when it comes to pain and resistance or trouble in the body it starts with muscle adhesions and snowballs down from there. It’s still amazing to me as a bodyworker that the two most abundant and powerful aspects of the body are not medically understood or treated medically by the healthcare profession. You can’t plant seeds or plants with roots by raking the top of the […]

The manual therapy treatment I offer coupled with Physical Therapy is a superior treatment to Physical Therapy alone. Also, P.T. manual therapy is not the same as Naprapathic Manual Therapy. We use different techniques. Always seriously consider why or why not you should undergo knee surgery. #Orthopedics #Surgeryhttps://t.co/wN48qbsNlo — Dr. Gil Tepper (@gilteppermd) May 21, 2018
