Podcasts about massage therapy

There's a new kind of massage therapy that's transforming pain relief, recovery, and performance, and it all comes down to energy. Forget bruising deep-tissue sessions or temporary fixes. This approach works at the cellular level, recharging your body with actual electrons for faster healing, better mobility, and a calmer nervous system. In this episode, I sit down with Arthur Robinson, a sports medicine practitioner and licensed massage therapist, to explore how the Electrons Plus device uses pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to restore electrical balance, dissolve scar tissue, and revive dormant muscles. Arthur explains how this supercharged method enhances circulation, reduces pain, accelerates post-surgery recovery, and even supports nerve regeneration for conditions like neuropathy and drop foot. We break down how it works, why it's so effective, and what it feels like to experience deep healing without pressure or pain. If you've struggled with chronic tension, injuries, or poor recovery, this might be the missing link your body's been waiting for. "It's like deep tissue minus all the pressure, and acupuncture minus the needles." ~ Arthur Robinson In This Episode: - Arthur's background in athletic training - The science behind Electrons Plus and PEMF technology - TENS machines vs Electrons Plus devices - Grounding benefits and the history of PEMF - Treating deep muscles, eyes, and vagus nerve - Using Electrons Plus to dissolve scar tissue - Integrating into chiropractic practices - Treating old injuries and C-section scars - Impact of scar tissue on fascia and bioenergetic flow - Client success stories - Frequency settings for relaxation or muscle activation Products & Resources Mentioned: Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Save 15% sitewide at https://boncharge.com with code WENDY, including free shipping and a 12-month warranty.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks Amber who shared her journey from a childhood of homemade remedies to becoming a successful massage therapist. She emphasized the importance of a no-tipping model, which she believes elevates massage therapy to a healthcare service. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/amber-briggle            Highlights from today's episode include:  Amber says stay true to your values—define what your business stands for and consistently uphold those values to attract the right clients and team members.  Amber adopted a no-tipping model—pay practitioners a living wage, which reduces stress for both clients and therapists and positions massage as healthcare, not just a service. Manon innovated with client-centered practices—test out industry shifts, like making appointments truly last a full hour and encouraging cancellations only when clients have genuinely improved, to foster trust and a caring environment for clients.    ABOUT AMBER BRIGGLE Amber Briggle is the CEO of B-Well Enterprises, and the founder and owner of Soma Massage Therapy: a multi-award-winning business and the nation's most exciting new franchise opportunity! Amber became a massage therapist in 2004 and began Soma Massage Therapy in 2011. Through tenacity and determination she has literally built (and rebuilt, thanks to the pandemic!) a thriving massage therapy business and a promising new franchise brand. Amber graduated massage school in 2004, moved around the world, and finally settled in the Dallas area in 2009. Within a short time, she had more massage clients than her hands could handle in a day, and she was regularly booked for weeks, if not months, in advance. For a while, Amber would refer those clients to other therapists in the area who had more availability in their schedules, but it wasn't long before she realized that business would be more reliable and stable by referring those clients to another therapist “in house” instead. And an idea, and eventually a business, was born. Because of Amber's focus on “people first”, her small business took off quickly. Team members were loyal because of Amber's approach to hiring, training, and staffing – leading to very little staff turnover, which in turn cultivated a very loyal client base!  In 2013, Amber moved her growing business out of her house and into a brick-and-mortar, where Soma more than doubled in size from 2 treatment rooms 4 – plus a satellite office located in a chiropractic clinic – in just a span of a few years. By winter of 2019, Amber began looking for a larger space where Soma could continue to grow, but the global pandemic caused by covid-19 put those plans on hold. During the pandemic, Soma was ordered to close. Many therapists resigned due to the various strains put on families during the pandemic, and by the time we reopened, Amber's staff of 13 therapists had dwindled to only four people, and she had to close her satellite location entirely. More determined than ever, Amber found a way to keep her business from closing permanently, and through tenacity, focus, and creativity she was able to successfully rebuild her business only 14 months after initially closing: opening in a new location with 7 treatment rooms, a current staff of 24 massage therapists and 4 front desk staff members, and gross revenues exceeding $1,000,000 annually. Soma Massage Therapy has consistently won awards year after year and Amber is incredibly proud of the reputation Soma has as being a people-first business. Amber has learned that when she operates from a place of values, ethics, compassion, and respect, her business can withstand the test of time.

She is driven by a passion to "make a difference in the skins."Cameron Richards, Licensed Massage Therapist• Role: As a licensed massage therapist, Cameron highlights the critical need for skincare education, which he personally received from Faiza• Perspective: He emphasizes that the average consumer often lacks the knowledge to select appropriate skincare products, potentially causing more harm than good. He notes, "...if I don't know much imagine the average person out there who just walks into a Target Walgreens and just pick up anything off the shelf because they think it's going to work and they end up doing more harm."• Focus on Education: Cameron ensures that education is a key component of the client experience at the spa, particularly for men who may not be aware of proper skin cleansing and exfoliation techniques post-shaving.Core Skincare PhilosophyTherapeutic Treatments over Standard FacialsFaiza distinguishes the spa's services from conventional facials, framing them as targeted treatments.• Quote: "These are not only facials. These are therapeutical treatments we do. We do not use the word treatment at this spa, but these are the therapeutical... facial for them."• Day Spa vs. Med Spa: Fisa clarifies that while med spa products contain highly "active" ingredients used under a doctor's supervision, the spa's professional-grade products are highly effective and bring about significant changes in the skin.A Holistic "Inside and Out" ApproachThe treatment philosophy is comprehensive, addressing skin health from multiple angles.• External Healing: In-office treatments focus on healing the skin from the outside using professional products and modalities.• Internal Healing: Clients are provided with products, such as vitamins from the Face Reality line, to promote healing from within.• Hydration: The importance of hydration, both oral and topical, is stressed for all skin types, including acne-prone and mature skin.Specialized Acne Treatment Program: The Face Reality Boot CampA cornerstone of the spa's offerings is a structured, results-oriented program for acne clients.• Objective: To clear the client's skin within 100 days (approximately 3 months).• Process: 1. Free Consultation: The process begins with a skin analysis and a thorough review of the client's current home care products and their ingredients. 2. Bi-Weekly Treatments: Clients come in every two weeks for in-office procedures. 3. Dedicated Home Care: Clients are instructed to use Face Reality products at home, which Fisa describes as "amazing" and working "like a magic."• Results Timeline: Clients typically begin to see a noticeable difference in their skin after just three weeks of consistent in-office treatments and home care.The Client Journey and Treatment ExperienceConsultation and In-Office Procedure• Initial Step: The client journey starts with a free consultation to analyze the skin and educate the client about products that may be exacerbating their condition.• Treatment Duration: The in-office session is efficient, lasting approximately 50 minutes.• Treatment Steps: A standard session includes cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and calming the acne.• Client Feedback: Following a treatment, clients report a distinct sensation of freshness. Fisa notes, "Most of my client... they tell me... we are feeling that our skin is breathing now." This is attributed to clearing clogged pores, allowing oxygen to penetrate the skin.Post-Treatment and Downtime• No Downtime: Clients can immediately return to their daily activities.• Minor Side Effects: There may be slight edema (swelling) or redness for 20 minutes to one hour following extractions, but this subsides quickly.Available Technologies and Targeted ConcernsSomatic Massage Therapy and Spa is equipped with modern modalities to address a variety of skin concerns.Technology / Treatment PurposeSaluma LED Light TherapyUtilizes different light wavelengths to treat skin.

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel explores whether you can train fascia, separating myths from facts about this connective tissue. She discusses her personal journey with fascia-focused methods, including self-massage and Yoga Tune Up, and questions commonly held beliefs about fascia adaptation from exercise. Laurel critiques the metaphorical narratives versus physiological mechanisms, examining the roles of muscle, tendon, and the nervous system in recovery and training.

Meet Cameron Richards, an honest and hard-working New York State licensed massage therapist and owner of Somatic Massage Therapy. Did you know that the Greek word "Somatic" means relating to the body, especially as distinct from the mind.Cameron shares his origin story in the field, explaining how a job loss led him to pursue massage therapy despite initial reservations, and details his journey from working for others to building his own successful spa. He emphasizes the importance of providing a professional experience to counter negative stereotypes and highlights how building trust through clear communication, a welcoming environment, and skilled therapists is crucial for client satisfaction and business growth. The discussion also touches on marketing strategies, including email and text message campaigns for special offers and memberships, as well as the spa's work with specific client groups like teachers and pregnant women.Book a Massage Therapy Spa Session with Somatic here >>Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is Somatic Massage Therapy & Spa and how did it start?Somatic Massage Therapy & Spa is a professional massage therapy and spa located in Floral Park, on the border of Queens and Nassau County in New York. The business was founded by Cameron, a New York State licensed massage therapist with 15 years of experience. His journey into massage therapy began unexpectedly after a job loss. Initially hesitant about massage, he was considering acupuncture at a trade school recommended by a friend. An administrator at the school suggested he complete the massage program first, get licensed, and then pursue acupuncture. While the acupuncture plan didn't pan out due to student loans, Cameron discovered a passion for massage and built his business from working out of his home to renting a room in a chiropractor's office, and eventually opening his current ground-floor location with multiple treatment rooms and therapists.What makes Somatic Massage Therapy & Spa different from other spas?Somatic Massage Therapy & Spa focuses on providing a professional and results-oriented experience. They prioritize building trust with clients, especially in an industry that can face negative perceptions. This is achieved through a welcoming and professional environment, well-trained therapists wearing uniforms and name badges, thorough intake processes to understand client needs, and a focus on creating a relaxing ambiance with elements like aromatherapy and soft music. They aim to be more than a "cookie cutter" service, offering personalized treatments and actively working with clients to produce desired results for their pain or stress.How can someone contact Somatic Massage Therapy & Spa or book an appointment?Potential clients within the Floral Park, NY area can contact Somatic Massage Therapy & Spa through their website at somaticmassagepc.com.

Coaches Justin, Amanda, and William offer programming, form coaching, diet coaching and more, here!   In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coaches Justin, Bill, and Amanda discuss the roles of chiropractors and physical therapists in health and rehabilitation. They share personal experiences and insights on the effectiveness of these professionals, emphasizing the importance of individualized care, progressive overload in therapy, and the limitations of chiropractic adjustments. The conversation highlights the need for strength training in recovery and the potential impact of the placebo effect in treatment outcomes. In this conversation, the coaches delve into the complexities of back pain, chiropractic care, and the importance of movement and strength training. They discuss the physiological aspects of back pain, the risks associated with neck manipulation, and the origins of chiropractic practice, highlighting its controversial history. The coaches emphasize the need to identify quackery in chiropractic practices, the significance of movement and strength training in pain management, and the role of massage and physical therapy. They advocate for a holistic approach to health that prioritizes movement and strength over reliance on supplements and chiropractic adjustments.   Takeaways Physical therapists are often utilized for rehab post-injury or surgery. The effectiveness of physical therapy can vary based on the therapist's knowledge and approach. Progressive overload is crucial in physical therapy for effective recovery. Chiropractic adjustments may provide temporary pain relief but do not create lasting changes in spinal alignment. Individual attention from a physical therapist can lead to better outcomes than cookie-cutter approaches. Pain management in physical therapy should not lead to prolonged discomfort post-session. Strength training is essential for long-term injury prevention and recovery. The placebo effect can play a significant role in perceived benefits from chiropractic care. Finding a chiropractor with a sports rehab background may yield better results. Elderly patients often require strength training rather than just range of motion exercises. Chiropractic manipulation can provide neuromuscular facilitation. Most back pain stems from muscle atrophy, particularly in the erectors. Neck manipulation is never appropriate due to associated risks. Chiropractic practice has a controversial history and origins. Identifying quackery in chiropractic practices is crucial for patient safety. Movement and strength training are essential for pain management. Massage therapy can be more beneficial than chiropractic adjustments. Percussion massage can help relax tight muscles effectively. Holistic approaches to health prioritize movement and strength. Lifestyle changes are key to reducing pain and improving overall health.

We continue to take a deep dive into the layers of life's most exciting and challenging moments, welcome to The Deep Dive Series into Mastering Life's Adventures with Dr. Judith. In this series, we explore life's complexities through thought-provoking questions, with Dr. Judith inviting incredible guests to share their wisdom on topics that matter most to you, our listeners. Today's discussion stems from the powerful insights found in Shirzad Chamine's Positive Intelligence (PQ) Program, where we'll explore the inner workings of the saboteurs (or gremlins) that can take up space where your soul is meant to be with a special Guest, Christi Holder, LMT sharing her experience with the PQ Program.A fascinating and often overlooked aspect of life—the gremlins that try to occupy the space where your soul is meant to be. These gremlins, or saboteurs, are the inner forces that hold us back and cloud our sense of clarity and purpose. We discuss how these gremlins operate in the world, how they influence our thoughts and actions, and how we can begin to recognize them in ourselves and others.In this episode, we explore:The different types of gremlins and how they manifest in your life.The neurochemistry behind these negative patterns and how they display themselves in our soul's journey.How to recognize the gremlins in yourself (and others) to quickly shift your attitude and mood.The power of accessing your Sage—the wise, intuitive, and divine part of you that aligns with your True Nature.Practical tools to develop your Sage and reduce the grip of gremlins, making space for deeper listening, guidance, and growth.As George Bernard Shaw once said, “The greatest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Gremlins often create that illusion in our own minds, clouding our ability to hear our higher selves. Today, we'll dive into how to break through that illusion and connect with the wisdom of your true nature. Ready to silence the gremlins and make space for your Sage?

Amber Briggle shares her unexpected journey from a liberal arts college graduate to a successful massage therapist and business owner. She discusses the evolution of her business, Soma Massage Therapy, the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the unique aspects of her business model, including a no-tipping policy and a focus on health benefits. Amber emphasizes the importance of self-care, mentorship, and community support, while also outlining her vision for the future of her franchise. The conversation concludes with reflections on past decisions and advice for young entrepreneurs.Voted BEST Massage Studio 11 years in a row! Voted BEST Pain Management 2023 + 2024Amber Briggle is the CEO of B-Well Enterprises, and the founder and owner of Soma Massage Therapy: a multi-award-winning business and the nation's most exciting new franchise opportunity! Amber became a massage therapist in 2004 and began Soma Massage Therapy in 2011. Through tenacity and determination she has literally built (and rebuilt, thanks to the pandemic!) a thriving massage therapy business and a promising new franchise brand.Amber graduated massage school in 2004, moved around the world, and finally settled in the Dallas area in 2009. Within a short time, she had more massage clients than her hands could handle in a day, and she was regularly booked for weeks, if not months, in advance. For a while, Amber would refer those clients to other therapists in the area who had more availability in their schedules, but it wasn't long before she realized that business would be more reliable and stable by referring those clients to another therapist “inhouse” instead. And an idea, and eventually a business, was born.Because of Amber's focus on “people first”, her small business took off quickly. Team members were loyal because of Amber's approach to hiring, training, and staffing – leading to very little staff turnover, which in turn cultivated a very loyal client base! Amber's Book & Podcast Recommendations:"Your New Life Blend" podcast with Shoshanna Hecht "Mad Honey" by Jodi Picoult and Jenny Boylan Get In Touch With Amber:www.mysomamassage.comFacebook: /somadenton and /AmberBriggleIG: @mysomamassage

Send us a textContent Warning! This episode digs into subject matter that isn't for the faint of heart (or young ears)!   Joel and Rose had a fun, explicit, and mind-blowing conversation with Jake Miner, from Onyx Coaching as he schooled us on the truth about how we can actually optimize our health based on real science as taught by Dr. Raymond Peat.  Even better- Jake has one of those health recovery stories that truly inspires those of us looking for answers.   In addition to having all sorts of coaching certifications, Jake studied Neuroscience at Copenhagen University.  Don't let his muscles fool you, he's a science nerd, too!  Jake's story:   "Years ago, I was dealing with a host of health problems: severe hypothyroidism, estrogen dominance, sleep issues, gut problems—you name it. I saw multiple doctors, but the only solutions they offered were antidepressants (SSRIs) and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Desperate for answers, I tried various diets—Keto, Carnivore, Vegan—along with countless supplements, but nothing worked. My health continued to decline, with my testosterone plummeting to 206 ng/dL. I was cold, had lumps in my chest, and felt completely lost.Over the next 8 years, I turned my life around. I raised my testosterone to 1323 ng/dL, balanced my hormones, and improved my overall health. Along the way, I discovered the work of Ray Peat, which profoundly influenced my approach to health and wellness. Now, I've coached over 5,000 people, helping them understand the importance of metabolic health. I believe that many of our modern health issues stem from our inability to convert food into energy, instead turning it into fat. By addressing these imbalances, we can achieve the vibrant health we all desire."To hire Jake for coaching, please visit http://onyxcoaching.me and you can find his other links HERE Click here to visit Golden Ratio Wellness's website and use the "Become a Client" button to explore ways to work with Dr. Rose and associates on metabolic and hormonal health.
