Here is an excellent photo illustrating how both the calf muscles and hamstrings cross the knee joint to flex the knee. At the back of the knee you can see the medial and lateral heads of gastrocnemius. Just to the outside of those beefy tendons you see the long, thing tendons of the hamstrings.

If you're a muscle geek you might just love this photo!

Today was a good day. Ever since the pandemic began my gravest concern was potentially infecting a client. Today I took the first step toward lessening that possibility greatly.

The past ten months have taught me a tremendous amount. I have repeatedly said that if you haven't learned something from all of this you've missed out on a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Because of Covid I began working in different capacities. One day a week I now work with clients who have spinal cord injuries at a wonderful facility in Thornton called NeuAbility. Two other days a month I work with an adult who has Cerebral Palsy that lives in a long term group home.

At the encouragement of two clients who are professionals in the medical field I was able to inquire and get on the list for the vaccination for Covid-19. Normally, because of my health and age I would have been at the back of the bus.

I'm grateful for this opportunity, grateful to roll up my sleeve, grateful to make my world of massage therapy safer for my clients.

Hi friends. I recently began doing massage one day a week with folks who have spinal cord injuries. This is Medicaid billing and the organization is NeuAbility. They offer an open gym, exercise physiologists, trainers, acupuncturists, chiropractic and massage therapy.

In our current world this has been a positive outlet for me once a week. I work with the same seven people and it's encouraging to implement a weekly treatment plan and literally feel soft tissue improvement for overworked muscles due to their injuries. The clients sleep better, have less pain and enjoy a community that supports them in their recovery.

NeuAbility is having a field day fund raiser this month and has had to improvise due to Covid19. I hope that you would thoughtfully consider making a donation on my fundraising page to assist NeuAbility so they can continue to offer services to this population that benefits so greatly from this facility.

Thank you!

By now you are either back in your company office or still working remotely. If you're experiencing headaches or other discomfort you may need to address the ergonomics of your home work area. This post delves into the particulars of healthy ergonomics.

It's reassuring to read this. It's hard to find a substitute for daily exercise, good nutrition and quality sleep. Healthy, supportive relationships are helpful in staying on track, because, yes, it's hard work staying healthy. But it's worth it.

Detox diets may do more harm than good. Our clinicians share tips for feeling healthier — no juice cleanse required.

We're into the third week of massage. I'm happy to show off zinnias. Things are going well and it's wonderful to touch people again.

I have a few notes to share from early observations.

Be sure that you have a mask that fits well. A good fitting mask that you aren't touching is better than a mask that has many "layers". You might find a surgical mask to be more comfortable for your time on the table than a homemade mask. A behind the ear mask is going to work better than a tie behind mask as I can access your neck better.

I'm opening up my scheduler to allow 90 minute appointments.

Also, I've integrated the Covid-19 release into the scheduler. There is an option to fill that out electronically so it is in my system. With all of the added waste around cleaning, I'm happy to at least do away with a hard copy of the release.

Mainly, massage has been great. I'm liking the changes and things are going smoothly. I had a great conversation with Broomfield County Health a few weeks ago. I was able to speak with a nurse and epidemiologist and they were helpful with reopening safely.

Schedule in and I hope to see you soon. My zinnias are waiting for you!

After four and a half months of Covid closure I have begun re-opening. The time away was not wasted. It allowed me to rest, learn new things, explore vocational options and evaluate my life experience.

Though the pandemic continues ro rage, I move forward with courage and excitement, feeling renewed and ready to serve.

In the course of preparing to open this opportunity came my way. Here is part of my business story.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Matthew Gibble. Matthew, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. I first began working in massage therapy as a cyclist in the early 1980’s. In 1987 I had my first real gig working for …
