Ep 494 – Lyme Disease Aftermath: “I Have a Client Who . . .” Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner

To get a solid understanding of the tensor fascia lata (TFL), it’s important to first understand its function. But to understand its function, one needs to clearly grasp its tendon—the IT band. And to really know the IT band, it is necessary to first appreciate fascia. In this episode of The Rebel MT, join Allison Denney as she dives down the rabbit hole that is the TFL. But first, she needs to start a load of laundry.    Host Bio:           Contact Allison Denney: <a href="mailto:rebelmt@abmp.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rebelmt@abmp.com</a>             Allison’s website: <a href="http://www.rebelmassage.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.rebelmassage.com</a>                      Allison Denney is a certified massage therapist and certified YouTuber.

And I am not your typical massage therapist. After 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, I have learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa. I see soft tissue as more than merely a physical element but a deeply complex, neurologically driven part of who you are. I use this knowledge to work WITH you—not ON you—to create change that works. This is the basis of my approach. As a massage therapist, I have worked in almost every capacity, including massage clinics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractor offices, spas, private practice, and teaching. I have learned incredible techniques and strategies from each of my experiences. In my 20 years as a massage therapist, I have never stopped growing. I currently have a private practice based out of Long Beach, California, where I also teach continuing education classes and occasionally work on my kids. If they’re good.   website: <a href="http://www.rebelmassage.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">www.rebelmassage.com</a>   FB: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RebelMassageTherapy">facebook.com/RebelMassage</a>   IG: <a href="http://instagram.com/rebelmassagetherapist" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">instagram.com/rebelmassagetherapist</a>    YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/RebelMassage">youtube.com/c/RebelMassage</a>   email: <a href="mailto:rebelmassagetherapist@gmail.com">rebelmassagetherapist@gmail.com</a>

And I am not your typical massage therapist. After 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, I have learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa. I see soft tissue as more than merely a physical element but a deeply complex, neurologically driven part of who you are. I use this knowledge to work WITH you—not ON you—to create change that works. This is the basis of my approach. As a massage therapist, I have worked in almost every capacity, including massage clinics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractor offices, spas, private practice, and teaching.

The work of Anatomy Trains originated with founder Tom Myers, who mapped the human body into 13 myofascial meridians in his original book, currently in its fourth edition and translated into 12 languages. The principles of Anatomy Trains are used by osteopaths, physical therapists, bodyworkers, massage therapists, personal trainers, yoga, Pilates, Gyrotonics, and other body-minded manual therapists and movement professionals. Anatomy Trains inspires these practitioners to work with holistic anatomy in treating system-wide patterns to provide improved client outcomes in terms of structure and function.                      Website: <a href="http://anatomytrains.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anatomytrains.com</a>                        Email: <a href="mailto:info@anatomytrains.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">info@anatomytrains.com</a>             Facebook: <a href= "http://facebook.com/AnatomyTrains" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">facebook.com/AnatomyTrains</a>                       Instagram: <a href= "http://www.instagram.com/anatomytrainsofficial">www.instagram.com/anatomytrainsofficial</a>   YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2g6TOEFrX4b-CigknssKHA" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2g6TOEFrX4b-CigknssKHA</a>     American Massage Conference   Get ready to immerse yourself in the excitement as the American Massage Conference (AMC) arrives to Disney Springs near Orlando, Florida (May 16th-18th, 2025)!
