Why Should I Drink Water After A Massage?

Make sure you drink plenty of water!

After a massage your Therapist will probably politely suggest that you drink some water in the office before you leave and continue consuming water throughout the day. This leaves many clients wondering why we do that. So we thought we would explain the process by which massage therapy causes you to become dehydrated.

Healthy muscle tissue is very supple and spongy with lots of capillaries (tiny blood vessels) ending in the tissue where the transfer of oxygen and nutrients are released and where metabolic waste products like lactic acid are picked up and carried away through the venous system. Think Fillet Mignon.

Unhealthy muscle tissue is tight and tough which doesn't allow for good blood flow and lymphatic drainage through it and doesn't have easy movement. With decreased blood perfusion metabolic wastes like lactic acid will begin to build up. Think Beef Jerky!

Symptoms Vs. Function - What do you focus on?

I say it at least 5 times a day when working with clients or teaching a WORx Alignment Class... "focus on function (or lack of function) NOT symptoms". Sure it is important to listen to your body and when it hurts we should take note and it is absolutely true that symptoms are how your healthy body can tell you something is wrong.

Today far too many of us are solely focused on the pain or symptoms and not focused at all on why we may be experiencing the symptoms or where our body isn't functioning properly.

Customer video review of the Total Body Solution Program

We have a client who was kind enough to take time out of his busy day to comment on the success he has had with our Total Body Solution Program.

This program is a one of a kind and focuses on restoring your bodies natural function.

Pain reduction is a natural side effect of becoming more functional and correction of postural dysfunction. He comments on his results here.

Before and After Images At 30 Days Into the Program (notice his posture number went from 40 to 22)

Making The Switch To Minimalistic Running Shoes!

I will preface this blog post with the following disclaimer "I am not a runner, nor have I ever been a runner."

I am simply interested in the biomechanics of running gait and foot strike. Because I see so many clients with running related chronic foot, leg, knee, hip and low back pain - it is an area that I feel runners could benefit from more education and training.

While every one of us has postural distortions, avid runners seem to magnify these posture problems due to the repetitive nature of their chosen activity and the high demand it places on their bodies.
I have written two previous posts on this subject regarding the biomechanics of foot strike and how to begin changing your foot strike and run in such a way that you can prevent a lot of these repetitive stress injuries.
