The ABMP Podcast | Speaking With the Massage & Bodywork Profession

Another episode about DVT and pulmonary embolism—but this one looks really different from last week! New client says, “I want to make you aware of my pulmonary embolism this week . . . my hospitalist says massage will be OK” Encouragement to do massage Encouragement NOT to do massage What to do??? In the face of contradictory advice, we walk through this decision-making process, discussing the difference between information and permission along the way.    This podcast sponsored by:         Anatomy Trains: www.anatomytrains.com        Books of Discovery: www.booksofdiscovery.com         Coaching the Body: www.coachingthebody.com      Host:         Ruth Werner: www.ruthwerner.com         ABMP Pocket Pathology: www.abmp.com/abmp-pocket-pathology-app   Resources:   “Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)” Cleveland Clinic.

Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are musculoskeletal pathologies hallmarked by elbow pain. However, even though these conditions cause elbow pain, they are not conditions of the actual elbow joint; rather they are overuse syndromes of the musculature of the hand and/or fingers. And these conditions aren’t just relegated to those participating in these two sports. These overuse injuries can be caused by actions as simple as gripping your steering wheel, a pen, or your cell phone too tightly. Listen in as Dr. Muscolino describes causes and approaches to this condition, and we hear how both he and co-host Darren Buford describe living with these conditions.   Dr. Muscolino has been a manual and movement therapy educator for more than 30 years. He is the author of The Muscular System Manual; The Muscle and Bone Palpation Manual with Trigger Points, Referral Patterns, and Stretching; and Kinesiology. He teaches continuing education workshops around the world, including a certification in Clinical Orthopedic Manual Therapy, and has created LearnMuscles Continuing Education, a video streaming subscription service for manual and movement professionals, with seven new video lessons added each week. And he has created Muscle Anatomy Master Class, the most comprehensive and detailed muscle anatomy online class in the world, with each muscle taught in five distinct video lessons.

A client with a complicated health history (including cancer and newly adjusted chemotherapy) has a medical emergency: deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli. Now she wants massage. There’s a lot to balance in this decision, which is not as clear-cut as it seems. In this episode, we consider some of the variables about massage for a person with this medical history and find a way to get to a good conclusion.   This podcast sponsored by:         Anatomy Trains: www.anatomytrains.com        Books of Discovery: www.booksofdiscovery.com         Coaching the Body: www.coachingthebody.com      Host:         Ruth Werner: www.ruthwerner.com         ABMP Pocket Pathology: www.abmp.com/abmp-pocket-pathology-app   Resources:   “Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)” Cleveland Clinic.

Every wonder why some people seem to be able brush off massive blows and some seem to feel all the feels? There are pros and cons in both scenarios, just like in the tissues of our body.

Are you using your voicemail in a professional manner? Is your voicemail always full, allowing no one else to get through? Do you even have a voicemail message, or is there just a lonely “beep”? Having made thousands of calls to practitioners over the years and often hearing no professional connection to their practices, co-hosts Kristin Coverly and Darren Buford discuss why having a professional voicemail message is the gateway to your business.

In episode 77, from February 19, 2021, a client with “critical limb ischemia” wants massage while he awaits corrective surgery for an occluded artery. So, we talked about peripheral artery disease and talked about the risks and reasons to be cautious in this situation. In this follow-up episode, we find the client was in better shape than I thought, and the massage therapist shares her treatment choices and rationales for a really hopeful outcome. This is yet another example of how important it is to treat the person, not the diagnosis.   This podcast sponsored by:        Books of Discovery: www.booksofdiscovery.com       Coaching the Body: www.coachingthebody.com     Anatomy Trains: www.anatomytrains.com         Host:        Ruth Werner: www.ruthwerner.com         Resources from Episode 77:    Jackson, M.
