  • Widen the Circle, Please

    This review is specifically in response to the episode about misinformation with Allison Denney. This is a critical, timely topic that deserves a guest who doesn’t have anything to sell. When Denney refers to our services as products, that’s misinformation. In my state, products are taxed, services are not. Difficulty vetting online information is far from a generational problem. ABMP, you can do better by our profession on this topic.

  • Wish they’d bring other voices

    I used to love this podcast and listened to it constantly. The wealth of knowledge that was offered when they interviewed all kinds of people was so invaluable.

    Now it’s just the same two girls giving their own personal opinions, the anatomy talks are great but I don’t learn well with this style so the podcast sadly no longer offers me any insight. Really really miss the interview style podcast that was offered and would LOVE to see more of them and learn from a bigger bank of knowledge rat... more

  • Great information

    I just found this podcast and love it with only listening to two episodes. They were very different content and very relevant for massage therapist. As an instructor at NHI this will be a great resource for students and alumni to continue on their path in massage therapy.

  • Yay

    Not an ABMP member so this podcast was missed until I chatted with Ruth and she mentioned her Podcast “I have a client who” which led me to this wonderful wealth of knowledge.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 565 – The Anatomy and Physiology of Sports Massage with Dr. Portia Resnick: "I Have a Client Who . . ." Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner
Q: Let me ask you, Portia, at what point in this injury process were you brought into this? Was it pre-surgical post, and if post, how long after?
I joined the care team post-surgery, around four to six weeks after the injury when we started adding manual therapy and gradually reintroducing range of motion, ensuring we respected restrictions while addressing fascia and musculature.
Ep 574 - Rethinking Touch Through Fascia Research with Rachelle Clauson and Nicole Trombley
Q: In case we don't already know this term, can you explain what neuro, immuno, endocrine regulation is and how it relates to the central and peripheral nervous systems?
These systems are interconnected rather than separate; peripheral input from touch influences local tissue and sends information to the brain, highlighting the integrated regulation of nervous, immune, and hormonal pathways in response to manual therapy.
Ep 554 – Exploring Aging with Kristin Coverly
Q: What would you like practitioners to know about working with older clients?
Dawn and Sheila emphasize the need for a strong technical foundation plus a deep emotional connection, practical environment adaptations, longer session times, and clear communication to meet the specific needs of aging clients.
Ep 547 – Hypothyroidism: "I Have a Client Who . . ." Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner
Q: What would you like for massage therapists to know?
Check in and focus on the tissue; if you feel something odd, communicate and encourage open discussion about differences.
Ep 534 – Massage Therapy and Physical Therapy: An Integrated Environment
Q: How can MTs outside of an integrated clinic setting establish referral relationships?
Meet different providers and seek to understand what they do, focusing on curiosity and respect in building relationships.
