I recently had an angry female massage therapist message me and try to “set me straight” over a video I made where I noted that male massage therapists were better equipped to do injury treatments compared to female therapists.In this episode, I share what happened in that interaction and double down on my stance that male massage therapists are better equipped to do injury treatments, and it has nothing to do with them being stronger.--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Callewaert shares what he learned while visiting the Yanomami people of Brazil, including surprising observations about body odor and skin cancer. We also explore his work developing products to rebalance the armpit microbiome, the science of foot odor, and the potential benefits of walking barefoot in the grass. The big takeaway: Body odor is a problem that can often be addressed, but the stigma surrounding it can make conversations difficult. Massage therapists may be uniquely positioned to help destigmatize the topic and start those conversations.   Resources:   Website: www.drarmpit.com   Website:www.phiome.com   TED talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RIFyqLXdVw   Host Bio:         Ruth Werner is a former massage therapist, a writer, and an NCBTMB-approved continuing education provider.

In Ep.295 of the STA Clinician Podcast, host Matt Phillips is joined by special guest Jamie Johnston, a massage therapist, firefighter and educator from British Columbia, Canada. Jamie is best known as founder of the Massage Therapist Development Centre (MTDC) and host of 'The New Generation Massage Therapist' podcast. Jamie discusses the evolving role of massage therapists — shifting from passive tissue work to evidence-informed biopsychosocial care. He talks about pain science, the therapeutic power of movement, consent and communication, and why mental health must be part of clinical practice. He shares practical approaches for opening conversations, spotting mental-health concerns, preventing suicide, and building clinician resilience, plus resources and training for therapists seeking to expand their skills. Practical takeaways: check CPD course accreditation, consider your career goals and context, and consult professional bodies to make an informed choice about the route that best fits your aims.

Less than 10% of reported sexual assaults result in a conviction in Australia. So, what does it actually take to bring a rapist to justice? In part 2 of former police officer and survivor Caroline Clarke’s chat with Gary Jubelin, we find out exactly that. In this episode, Caroline details the aftermath of being sexually assaulted by a massage therapist - from the agonising decision to report, to becoming an active force in her case recording a confession that police called "the best they’d ever heard". Caroline also unpacks one of the most misunderstood reactions in trauma - the freeze response, a survival mechanism hardwired into all of us. Yet it still continues to be used against survivors in courtrooms, in conversations, and in their own heads. Caroline breaks down why it happens, how it works, and why the shame so many survivors carry about it is not only unfair, it's wrong. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

Caroline Clarke spent nearly a decade as a police officer on the rough streets of West Yorkshire chasing down criminals, working the drugs squad, and stepping into homes torn apart by domestic violence. But nothing in her training prepared her for what happened when she became a victim-survivor herself. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Caroline opens up about growing up in a home where love and violence lived side by side, the silence she inherited from her mother, and the sexual assault that left her questioning why her body froze when she thought she would fight. Caroline breaks down the freeze response, a trauma reaction still misunderstood by police, juries, and the public, and explains why survivors are so often blamed instead of believed. Caroline is now the founder of the No More Silence movement, dedicated to helping survivors break their silence and shift the shame back to where it belongs. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

One of the frequent comments I get from Massage Therapists is that they would love to do more focused treatments that break down adhesions and really help the client achieve long-lasting pain relief, but their thumbs and hands can't handle all that work, so they rely more on instruments and cupping.The hard reality that they just haven't come to yet is that the reason their hands hurt so much is that they actually suck at manual therapy and need to focus on the cliché line of learning to work smarter, not harder.In this episode, I share 3 concepts about the application of manual therapy that saved my hands and allowed me to keep doing the important work of helping those in chronic pain, without beating my body up!--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

Ruth interviews Dr. Chris Callewaert, also known as Dr. Armpit, about his research into the microbiomes that contribute to body odor (BO). Although his work focuses on the skin of the armpits, his findings also apply to foot odor and even bad breath. In Part 1, we meet Dr. Callewaert and learn what led him to this career—spoiler alert: it involved a sleepover. We discuss the differences between "good" and "bad" body odor, how BO is classified, why it is a concern, and how it can affect a person's quality of life. We also explore the skin-gut axis and how processes in the digestive tract influence the composition of our sweat and, in the case of SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), even the color of the tongue.

What makes a great massage therapist?Is it knowing more techniques? Taking another course? Applying deeper pressure?According to international massage educator Beata Aleksandrowicz, those things matter but, they aren't what truly transforms your treatments.In this episode, we explore why touch itself is one of the most powerful therapeutic tools we have, how intention changes every treatment, and why your own personal growth may be the biggest factor in becoming an exceptional therapist.Beata has spent more than 30 years training massage therapists around the world, developing signature spa treatments, teaching in luxury spas, and helping therapists build careers that are both meaningful and sustainable.Together we discuss:Why great therapists are developed and not bornThe healing power of intentional touchHow to deepen your treatments without adding more techniquesWhy communication begins before your hands ever touch the clientPreventing exhaustion through self-awareness and recoveryThe importance of continuous education beyond manual skillsCreating signature treatments that truly reflect who you areWhy massage therapists have never been more important than they are todayIf you've ever felt like you're doing "all the right things" but want your treatments to feel more connected, more meaningful, and more impactful, this conversation is for you.

Today the Prime Minister is expected to apologise on behalf of the state for its role in historical forced adoptions. Thousands of unmarried women were pressured into giving up their babies in the 30 years after the Second World War. Krupa Padhy talks to two women who are keenly awaiting this apology - Zara who was adopted, but tracked down her birth mother when she was aged 23 and Susan whose baby was taken from her when she was 16.A large multinational cohort study published in June provides important new evidence of the increased risk of cardiovascular events for women who have premature and early menopause, across ethnic groups. To discuss what this could mean for you, Krupa is joined by Dr Ellie Cannon, GP and author of The Little Book of HRT, and Professor Anne McGregor, menopause specialist and trainer at the British Menopause Society.Some female massage therapists are refusing to take on any more male clients after being subject to sexually inappropriate behaviour. Krupa is joined by Maria Slowik-Capanni, a therapist and Ruth Duncan, Chair of the General Council for Manual Therapies with 26 years of experience in the industry. They discuss why the idea of regulating massage therapy is such a complex issue and what can be done to protect therapists in their workplace.Money is broken for women, according to the founders of Female Invest, a subscription-based Danish financial education app. Their aim is to close the financial gender gap by educating women about investing and in their new book, It's a Rich Man's World, they explore the life events and systemic obstacles women face to build and hold onto wealth and what can be done to change things so women can thrive. Krupa speaks to Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen, one of the co-authors of the book.Presenter: Krupa Padhy Producer: Rebecca Myatt

In this episode, Flo sits down with Molly Clark, a licensed massage therapist and Made Good grad, to talk about something most of us only think about as a spa-day treat: massage therapy. Together they unpack the Catholic perspective on the healing power of touch — why your body holds onto stress, trauma, and memory, and how the right kind of body work can help you finally release it. They also tackle the question on every Catholic woman's mind before booking: how do I make sure there's no New Age "woo-woo" in the room?In this episode:Why "the body will whisper before it screams" — and how to catch the signals before you can't even walkThe surprising truth that trauma and memory get stored in your fascia (not just your mind)How to vet a massage therapist as a Catholic and spot the red flags: Reiki, chakras, and crystal bedsWhat chronic stress actually looks like under a therapist's hands — even when you can't feel it yourselfWhy "everyone has a therapist, but nobody lets anyone touch their body" — and what you're missingThe freeing reminder that your body already knows how to heal; you just have to stop forcing itCONNECT WITH MOLLY:Booking LinkEmail: mollyclarkmassage@gmail.comCONNECT WITH FLORENCIA:Ready to Go All-In On Your Glow Up? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply to The Made Good Method and Work With Our Team⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

As massage therapists, we're incredibly good at helping other people relax. But when was the last time you asked yourself...How well am I recovering?In this episode of The Radical Massage Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Craig Goldberg, co-founder of inHarmony and a certified vibroacoustic therapy practitioner, to explore an approach to nervous system recovery that many massage therapists have never experienced.Craig shares how a personal health journey led him into the world of sound therapy and why he believes relaxation doesn't have to be something we work hard for.We explore:What vibroacoustic therapy actually is (and what it isn't)How sound and vibration influence the nervous systemWhy massage therapists may benefit from passive recoveryThe fascinating connection between vibration and fasciaBinaural beats, music as medicine, and the future of wellness technologyPractical ways therapists could integrate this into their practice—or simply into their own self-care routineWhether you're looking for new ways to care for your clients or simply searching for better ways to care for yourself, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on recovery.Because a sustainable massage career isn't only about treating well...It's about recovering well.

I recently had some Massage Therapists in my office for shadowing and training, and they watched me conduct a functional evaluation and present the client with a full treatment plan.Right before I went over all the costs of the treatment plan with the client, I let them know that I do offer a full money-back guarantee on all my treatments, which led to numerous questions afterwards from the providers shadowing me.I decided to make a full episode covering why I offer the full guarantee, how I implement it, and how many times I had to give clients their money back!--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

You hired the therapist. Now comes the harder part: getting clients to actually book with them. One of the biggest mistakes massage practice owners make is treating marketing like a collection of random activities instead of a system. A social media post here. A promotion there. A referral when someone remembers to ask. The problem is that random marketing creates random results. In this episode, I'll walk you through a simple framework for getting a new therapist booked faster without constantly chasing the latest marketing tactic.

A massage therapist notices that more clients are reporting their use of topical hormone medications. Somehow, this never came up in massage school. Is the massage therapist at risk for being dosed?

I see Massage Therapists on social media sharing and talking about how their practice is fully booked, and they aren't taking on any new clients, which I know came from years of hard work and dedication, but what if getting to the point of a closed practice is one of the most selfish things you can do as a provider?I share my perspectives on all of that in this episode!--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

Ever hired someone who looked perfect on paper… only to realize a few weeks later they were the wrong fit? The truth is, most bad hires aren't caused by hiring the wrong person; they happen because there's no hiring process behind the decision. In this episode, I break down the three hiring mistakes that quietly cost wellness business owners time, money, energy, and team culture. You'll learn how to spot red flags before they become problems, avoid making decisions from a place of desperation, and create a simple hiring framework that helps you find therapists who align with your business, not just candidates with the best resume.   We'll get into: The three hiring mistakes that lead to costly team problems Why hiring based on "good vibes" isn't enough How to evaluate hard skills, soft skills, and culture fit The interview questions that reveal what resumes can't Why coachability often matters more than experience How to trust your instincts without relying on them alone If you're growing your team or thinking about making your next hire, this episode could save you from an expensive mistake.   ---   *Brought to you by GlossGenius.*   Are you dealing with gaps in your schedule?

David is a Massage Therapist in Toronto, Ontario and he is about to embark on the wonderful world of entrepreneurship after 8 years working in a clinic as a busy therapist. We discussed why he would want to make such a leap considering he likes where he works and has a busy practice, what his support system had to say about this new venture, what lessons he will take with him to his new brick and mortar, and the breakdown of actual figures that he encountered during the process of creating his dream clinic. His new clinic, Muscle Madness is set to open this summer!2rmtsandamic.com

After years of misdiagnoses, medication sensitivities, injuries, and setbacks, a massage therapist is diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition that causes non-typical seizures and intermittent paralysis-like weakness. Despite being unable to work, she continues advocating for the FND community and wants to help educate massage therapists about the benefits of safe, informed touch for people living with the condition. In this episode of IHACW. . ., Ruth explores Sarah's journey, the realities of FND, and the role massage therapy may play in supporting those navigating complex neurological challenges.  Resources: Functional Neurologic Disorder | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (no date a).

This episode is honestly one I should have recorded a long time ago.Today, I'm sharing the real reason I started this podcastBecause I noticed something…

Ten Thousand Waves, the well-known Santa Fe spa that has surfaced in newly released Epstein-related documents, has denied allegations that it knowingly supplied massage therapists or referrals to Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. The controversy stems from FBI interview summaries and testimony connected to New Mexico's expanding investigation into Epstein's activities at the ranch, where former ranch manager Brice Gordon reportedly told investigators that many of the massage therapists used at the property were hired locally through Ten Thousand Waves or by referral. The allegations have drawn fresh attention because multiple women have accused Epstein of using “massages” as a cover for sexual abuse and trafficking operations carried out across his various properties. The spa, however, pushed back firmly against the claims, stating it neither provided nor referred masseuses to Zorro Ranch and denying any involvement in Epstein's activities.The denials come as scrutiny surrounding Epstein's operations in New Mexico continues to intensify, especially amid criticism that Zorro Ranch was never thoroughly searched or investigated during the height of the federal probes into Epstein. Former massage therapist Rachel Benavidez previously alleged in the documentary Surviving Jeffrey Epstein that she was sexually abused after being hired to work at the ranch, further fueling questions about how Epstein sourced workers and who may have crossed paths with his operation over the years. Critics argue that the emergence of local businesses and institutions in the newly released files underscores how deeply embedded Epstein allegedly became within elite and everyday circles in New Mexico. Still, Ten Thousand Waves maintains there was no institutional relationship with Epstein's ranch and rejects accusations that it knowingly facilitated or connected massage therapists to his operation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ten Thousand Waves spa in Santa Fe denies Jeffrey Epstein massage allegations

In this episode, I answer a question from a Massage Therapist in Missouri who wants to switch over to a shorter treatment session that focuses on helping chronic pain, but is having trouble getting their current clients to be open to a shorter treatment time.The question was…“I have been watching your content for a few years, and it makes perfect sense to me that doing a shorter treatment time is more effective for those in chronic pain, and I am all in on working to shorten my session times in my clinic.The problem I am running into is that a majority of my current clients have been doing longer 90-minute sessions, and when I brought up the idea of a shorter session, they didn't like that one bit and had no desire to change.I know the shorter treatments are the best way to get results for chronic pain sufferers, but how do I help to convince my current clients that I can get better results in less time?”--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

This episode is one of those conversations that expands what you think is possible in your career.Today I'm joined by Victoria Munro, RMT + IBCLC, who has built a unique practice working with prenatal, postpartum, and infant care blending massage therapy with lactation support.We talk about:Why massage therapists should be part of the breastfeeding conversationThe concept of the postpartum dyad (mom + baby as one unit)How infant oral function impacts feeding, tension, and long-term healthWhy treating babies can actually make you a better therapist for adultsThe truth about prenatal massage (and why we've been overcomplicating it)How niching down can give you more freedom, flexibility, and fulfillmentThis episode is a reminder that your scope is bigger than you think… and your career can evolve in ways you probably haven't considered yet.

Today's episode, we break down the exact step-by-step plan on how to exploit your fellow massage therapist and get rich in the process.   Not really, BUT….this is an all too common issue we see inside the industry.   The exploitative model isn't an accident. It's been repeated so often that most therapists think it's just what happens when you grow. Low pay. Back-to-back clients. No breaks. No future. Replace them when they burn out. Repeat.   But that fear of becoming *that* owner is keeping you small.   In this episode we're breaking down exactly what not to do the steps that built the franchise model and got copied by independent owners who never questioned why. Then we're looking at what actually works: how to build an ethical, sustainable business that's good for you, your team, your clients, and your wallet.   Because there is a different way. And you don't have to choose between growing and staying the person you already are.   ---   *Brought to you by GlossGenius.*   Are you dealing with gaps in your schedule? Clients who don't rebook?

In this episode, I answer a question from a massage therapist in Pennsylvania about why I never take on a client in acute pain who is trying to find relief as soon as possible.The question came from a Massage Therapist named Charles from Pennsylvania, who is in year 10 in practice, where he focuses on injury and pain treatments.The question was…“ I have a pretty steady and busy practice, and most of my new clientele comes from referrals from other clients. I do love helping people who are in pain. One area I struggle with is trying so hard to accommodate someone who is in acute pain and wants to get in as soon as possible, and is also a referral from an existing client.I have found that even when I bend over backwards to add them onto an already full schedule, when I explain to them that they need to do more follow-up work, they just tell me they will call me back when it gets bad again.I am glad I can help them, but my goal is to support them long-term rather than just responding when things get really bad and assuming I can get them in right away.I saw a video where you said you never treat a client who hasn't been in pain for at least 6 months. How do you say no to people who just started having pain without upsetting them?”--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

A client asks for a specific technique on their face. They have a bad reaction. Then they say they didn't want work in that area anyway, and by the way, they had a skull fracture four years ago. Now they're leaving because they feel a migraine coming on. The therapist is left wondering what just happened. In this episode of I Have a Client Who . . ., Ruth unpacks this interaction, what may have been going on for the client and their bones, and takes a closer look at where things started to break down.

Monique Giannelloni said her interaction with Prince Andrew was the direct result of Ghislaine Maxwell deliberately setting the stage and controlling the circumstances. She explained that Maxwell framed the meeting as something special and prestigious, telling her she would be introduced to someone “famous,” language that softened what was actually a deeply imbalanced situation. When that person turned out to be Prince Andrew, the power disparity became immediately clear. Giannelloni described being young, inexperienced, and placed into a private setting with a member of the British royal family without meaningful context or informed consent. She emphasized that this was not a social encounter or an organic meeting, but a carefully orchestrated introduction where expectations were already implied. The way Andrew was presented to her carried an unspoken assumption of compliance rooted in his status.Giannelloni made clear that Prince Andrew did not appear confused, hesitant, or unaware of the dynamic at play. In her account, he carried himself with entitlement, fully comfortable in a situation arranged for his benefit. She described feeling pressure rather than choice, with Maxwell acting as the facilitator who normalized the encounter and removed her ability to freely decline. Giannelloni's statements undercut later narratives portraying Andrew as an incidental figure or a man caught in misunderstanding. Instead, her account places him squarely within Epstein and Maxwell's system of access, where young women were delivered to powerful men under the guise of privilege and opportunity. What she described was not awkward coincidence but calculated proximity, engineered to serve status and silence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
