    Ep 461 - Calm Under Stress: The Ayurvedic Guide to Nasal Breathing in Exercise with Dr. John Douillard

    The Ayurvedic approach to exercise suggests nasal breathing instead of mouth breathing during exercise to replace exercise stress with a chemistry of composure and calm. In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Angie and Darren are joined by renowned Ayurvedic educator, Dr. John Douillard, to discuss what efficient breathing is and how to achieve it, why CO2 plays a role in nasal breathing, and how nasal breathing is critical for optimal flexibility and elasticity of the spine, head, neck and low back.

  • Ep 459 - Hereditary Hemochromatosis: “I Have a Client Who . . .” Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner

    Ep 459 - Hereditary Hemochromatosis: “I Have a Client Who . . .” Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner
    Sep 10 2024
    A client has hereditary hemochromatosis, which has affected their hip and toes. It is bad enough that they are considering joint replacement. In the meantime, they would like to receive massage for hip pain. Oh, and there’s this tiny little issue about having recent strokes. What is going on? How can iron overload cause joint damage, and is it involved in strokes too? Is bodywork even possible in this situation? Resources: IHACW Episode 317, available here Agarwal, A.R. et al.

    Ep 458 - Migraines, Meninges, & Massage Therapy: “The Rebel MT” with Allison Denney
    Sep 3 2024

    Migraines wreak havoc. Maybe massage therapists could be more helpful if we could massage the brain. But we can’t. In the meantime, understanding what we’ve learned about migraines is a helpful trick. Buckle up for some brain speak, anatomy definitions, and Latin roots. It’s going to be a bumpy ride on this episode of The Rebel MT with host Allison Denny.

    Rebel Massage Therapist:

    My name is Allison. And I am not your typical massage therapist. After 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, I have learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa. I see soft tissue as more than merely a physical element but a deeply complex, neurologically driven part of who you are. I use this knowledge to work WITH you—not ON you—to create change that works. This is the basis of my approach. As a massage therapist, I have worked in almost every capacity, including massage clinics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractor offices, spas, private practice, and teaching. I have learned incredible techniques and strategies from each of my experiences. In my 20 years as a massage therapist, I have never stopped growing. I currently have a private practice based out of Long Beach, California, where I also teach continuing education classes and occasionally work on my kids. If they’re good.

  • Ep 455 - Attention, Emotion, and Repetition with Cindy Williams

    Ep 455 - Attention, Emotion, and Repetition with Cindy Williams
    Aug 20 2024

    Clients come to us with ingrained patterns, habits, and routines that they want and need to change so they feel less tension and pain. In order to create that change, we support them by identifying the pattern(s) and educating them on more effective and efficient movement patterns. Essentially, they are learning something new. By applying three aspects of how the brain learns—attention, emotion, and repetition—we have a better chance of long-term success in this mutual endeavor with our clients.

    Host:

    After earning a degree in Sociology from Indiana University in 1997, Cindy Williams stumbled upon her calling as a massage therapist and bodyworker. She completed massage school in Boulder, CO in 2000 and has been actively involved in the profession since that time. For the last 24 years, Cindy has been in private practice, as well as serving in the education realm as an instructor, administrator, curriculum developer, consultant, and mentor. She currently works as an author and freelance educational content writer while continuing to support individuals on their healing journeys through bodywork, meditation, and other mindfulness practices.
