It never ceases to amaze me, all my clients have NEVER had a massage therapist do any of this stuff, no pin and stretch, very little trigger point therapy and NOTHING of what's being taught here. I do all this stuff and people go wild for it.
I incorporated as much of this as I could recall into a client session this morning. She’s been going for PT for what she thought was a hip issue. PT diagnosed it as lumbar/SI issue. Partway through our session she said, “I want you to know how helpful this is.” YES!!!❤️. So grateful for your videos. I’ve learned SO MUCH. Thank you, Allison!!
Very good. Would only suggest using heat to prep the tx area by softening tissue with either a hot towel/heating pad/hydrocollator (a hot towel is especially easy and flexible). Greatly comforting to the client and far easier work for the therapist.
I watch so many of her videos and they are all well thought out explanations and reasoning. I wish I could find a massage therapist of her caliber in Phoenix to work on me!! If I could clone myself that would work too! HA HA, not in this lifetime!
As a female Tang Soo Do student ( Korean Karate 🥋) I have to have regular care from my chiropractor and massage therapist because of how intense my sport is. Not to mention some osteoarthritis in right hip & both knees. It keeps me at my best when everything is working at it’s possible best. Thanks for what you do ! It really makes a huge difference! ❤
Appreciate your integrating the client's engagement & passive movement from you as part of massage. I took Thai massage training, so it's ingrained to move my client/get them to move.
The last movements on the front of hip seem like they’d be painful for me because my pain is in front of hip/groin and worsens when I try to do a “frog stretch” which I used to like to do but cannot anymore. :(
Aloha! As a practicing massage therapist of 25 years, I love all of your videos that include lots of really effective and interesting techniques, etc. However, this one made me cringe a bit as I watched because I have arthritis of my right hip with an Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI). Impingements can sometimes be missed by diagnosing physician or client. Movements by the therapist must be done realllllly slow with extreme awareness of restricted range of motion that most often includes some pretty intense pain that is not often always from soft tissue dysfunction. Your techniques are great and I wish there more therapists around with this kind of knowledge. Cuz I'd be on their table in a heartbeat!! Thanks again!
Is there a reason not to access the pubic bone? Is it just because of where it is or is there a risk of injury? I personally will let the massage therapist go wherever they need to as long as they warn me.
this was an informative video in terms of the explanation of muscles and techniques. Though, I found your comment to your client about they could be related to shakira culturally ignorant.
