Ep 441—The Sacroiliac Joint; The Anatomical Gossip Fence: “The Rebel MT” with Allison Denney
Host Allison Denney says with all the things a back can do, and all the support the pelvis offers, there is a lot to be communicated from one to the other. Enter the SI joint. Otherwise known as the anatomical gossip fence. With all the chatter that happens here, it is, quite possibly, the busiest gossip fence ever.
Ep 449—Should I Take Tips? “Business or Pressure” with Allissa Haines
Gratuities are customary in massage businesses, but should they be? Business or Pressure host Allissa Haines covers the factors to consider and the steps to implement a no-gratuities policy.
Take your anatomy understanding even deeper by looking not just at where your client’s anatomy lives but also how their anatomy relates to each other: tissue relationships. Hosts Nicole Trombley and Rachelle Clauson discuss these relationships and how dissection lab trainings can improve a therapist’s ability to understand the anatomy they touch.
