⁉️DID YOU KNOW⁉️ 70% of ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries occurs in NON contact situations? Although women are 2-4x MORE likely to tear their ACL than their male counterparts, the way in which the injury happens is quite similar. ACL tears, along with the triad injury (tearing ACL, MCL and meniscus) can be devastating and career-ending for athletes. Even for the occasional gym goer, this injury is not an easy one to bounce back from. Recovery can take up to a year and a half. The knee joint acts as a STABILIZING joint, moving in only one plane of motion, extension and flexion. The hip and ankle joints above and below it are mobility joints, which means they can move along multiple planes; including flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, and rotation. When either of these mobility joints are tight, the stress of the lack of rotation gets placed on the knee. With enough force or change of direction, the knee can collapse and cause these ligaments to tear. What does this have to do with me? As a medical and sports massage therapist, with all of my clients I check their ankle flexibility AND their hip mobility, before AND after the treatment, allowing the client and myself to see first hand the improvement loose muscles can make in overall flexibility and function of the human body. If either of these joints are tight, i perform a series of massage techniques along with passive-active stretching to ensure the mobility of the once tight joint. Have knee issues? Here are a couple questions you should ask yourself: 1. Are my ankles, calves, quads, hamstrings or hips tight? 2. Can I touch my toes? 3. Does my leg give out on me while walking? 4. Does my knee often swell? 5. Do my knees face forward? Or is the knee cap off to the left or right side? Do not let yourself live any longer in pain, discomfort, or with lack of function. The longer you go, the worse it can become. #massagetherapy #massage #bodyworker #bodyworks #functionalfitness #movement #moveyourbody #movewelllivewell

I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I flew out to Boca Raton for the @xpecore__bodywork! Every bit of technique I learned there is incorporated into my daily treatments of clients, ranging from plantar fasciitis to migraines. This experience has not only increase my skills as a therapist, but has opened my eyes to all the ways in which the body can be treated and relieved of pain. Can’t wait to go back for round two next year! I am forever a student in this profession, learning new and more efficient ways of bringing my very best to the table every day for my clients. . . #bocaraton #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #feelgoodvibes #healthyliving
