Comment on Warrier Dash Training with the Bosu Balance Trainer by workingwellresources

Bradley,

Thanks for reading and commenting! I checked out the video and I do have to say this is a more advanced use of the Bosu Ball. I would not recommend that just anyone try it! If you are not strong enough in your upper body and your back or if your form is off, this exercise could hurt you. We exercise to be healthy but we also must take care not to take too many risks in trying to be fit. I hope your Bosu Ball Challenge goes well for you!

Thanks so much,
Sue

In my opinion massage therapist must have a license before they can practice. Thank you for sharing this article.

Comment on Something Special for Expectant Mothers–Prenatal Massage Tips by workingwellresources

Thanks for reading and replying, my UK-based fellow massage therapist! it sounds like you were not comfortable during your prenatal massage based on your comments and were unable to communicate this to your massage therapist for some reason. It is important for the massage therapist to check in with client’s comfort, but it’s also up to clients to tell massage therapists if you are not feeling comfortable. I’ve had massages from massage therapists fresh out of school that asked too often about comfort and it was disruptive to the massage. I am glad you were able to get massages that relieved your back pain during your pregnancy. I hope you apply what you learned in your own massage work with pregnant clients!

Thanks so much, Sue

Great article, except you missed the most important kind of plant for removing formaldehyde! The NASA Clean Air Study showed that ferns are by far the best plant at removing formaldehyde from indoor air.

I looked up the papers (you can find links on the Wikipedia article “List of air-filtering plants”), and I’m going out to buy a few ferns!

This is a great article, i enjoyed lots of massage during my pregnancy and it helped me feel relaxed and aided in relieving my lower back pain. A good therapist will make you feel at ease and understand that you are uncomfortable. Some women find it difficult to remain in one position for a while so it is important that the therapist keeps asking whether you are comfortable.

Comment on Happy New Year from Working Well Massage in 2012 by workingwellresources

Matthew,

Thank so much for reading and commenting! I am glad you found a practitioner that was able to help you. And yes, a checklist of how to select providers could be useful. At the same time, when it comes to chiropractic clinics, Canadian health care and U.S. health care laws are different. This means that the scope of practice for massage therapists, physical therapists and chiropractors differ. In the U.S., laws for different types of practitioners vary state to state as well. So it would be difficult to create a generic checklist as far as who to go to for what type of work. I know about 10 different chiropractors within a 2 mile radius of my office that all offer very different services. Which are good and which are not is mainly a perception of their patients. Since health care and scope of practice is not standardized, patients are often left to other testimonials, Yelp reviews, and the try it and see approach. I know this is not an ideal situation, but it is what we have to work with at the moment. That all said, I will try to come up with generic standards for finding a health care clinic as best I can for a future blog post.

Once again, I am so glad you found a treatment that works for you!

Happy New year!

Sue Shekut
