Hey folks! As I wait to become fully registered as a massage therapist, I am excited to begin doing Body Work (RMT before registration) at Intuitive Rehab in Garrison starting Friday Oct 4th up until late November/early December!

If you know anyone who does not have benefits, or has ran out of massage benefits, you can get a discounted rate for massage $65 + tax, before I become fully registered and cost doubles! I will be doing 6 one hour treatments each Friday and I currently have 5 available for my first day!

I would appreciate if anyone could help spread the word to any local Chilliwack/Abbotsford folks you may know that could benefit from a massage from an eager new grad passionate about helping all types of folks and injuries! I look forward to begin this new career in my hometown!

👣Balance and Foot Function👣 🔹Homo Sapiens (me and you, every day humans) are a bipedal species. We remain upright on two legs due to co-contraction of muscles on the either sides of the joints of our meat wagon. Our muscles and connective tissues send constant information to the brain (Afferent Feedback) to help it determine where our bodies are in space. The soles of our feet are actually the most densely packed area of Nociceptors (sensory receptors cells for touch), having some of the highest potential for Afference. .
🔹Often times we send some very poor information to the brain simply because we lack the basic function of the joints themselves. Therefore, we are not activating as many mechanoreceptors and Nociceptors and thus sending poor info and risking poor joint function. We can expect our meat wagon to get us from point A to point B because we are great compensators, but we cannot expect to have longevity when we possess limited ability to produce and dissipate force efficiently. .
🔹We can simply improve balance and foot function by starting at the root, literally! Assess your feet, learn how to build an arch, torque, and active foot. Use some of the tools I provide (Reactive Neuromuscular Training = RNT) here to really help you understand how much your feet play a roll on body awareness as a whole. Don't believe me? Take a lacrosse Ball and roll on the bottoms of your feet. That crazy sensation you feel when you do this the first time is basically your nociceptors of the foot living in a pitch black room, and you just flicked the light on! 💡

🌳Hip CARs🌳

🔸When clients begin performing Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs) they are notoriously performed much too quickly. I usually like to coach CARs by stating that every single phase of the movement should be expressed at 1mph and one rep should take at least 30 seconds. Imagine your underwater, as if the air is 50% heavier.

🔸A nice way to block speed and control compensations with CARs is by using environmental and task constraints. Adding a balance component and some perceived threat of falling (potentially getting soaked) and watch how much slower and smoother your movements through each transition occurs. If you compensate through your spine your more than likely to get soaked😜.

🔸NATURE!! GOULET!!
