I tend to
get things done when push comes to shove and have also been known to
push my way through crowds.
But when I
was given the opportunity to experience Push muscle therapy, I was not
prepared to like being 'Pushed'
around. Let me explain...
Judy Smith of Footloose Reflexology and Muscle Therapies
in Farr West, Utah recently joined the Happy
Chemo! Network and as a new partner asked that I come experience her
services first hand so I'd know exactly what other people could
expect.
When she
said to come for a Push therapy session, I was very interested. Not
only because I had heard from friends that she was amazing - but that
she can also work wonders on your body. Oh yes, it gets better...
I've had headaches and upper back/neck pain since high school when I
was a cheerleader. It's never gone away and I was told by one
physician after an x-ray of my spine that my hips were off by 5 cm
which was causing all the problems. I had learned to deal with the
pain although my body pain intensified with chemo and since chemo I've
continued to feel tight all over - especially when I wake up in the
morning. I feel like I'm 90!
On Friday I went in for a two hour session of Push muscle therapy and
well, let me tell you, my body hasn't felt this good in years!!! Years
people. Do you hear me...years!
So what did she do to make me feel so great? She pushed me around.
Judy is trained in
Push
Muscle Therapy which is a specialized muscle treatment that
primarily addresses chronic or acute pain originating from muscle,
tendon or soft ligaments. Push Therapy is not massage and you are
completely clothed during your session. Using simple motions Push
lengthens the muscle at its resting state and increases blood flow
basically telling your muscles to let go of the tension.
You should know that this isn't a 'lay on the table and relax'
experience. There was some discomfort involved. As Judy would work my
muscles, they'd scream at me and resist the change. But Judy was
receptive to that and told me to always let her know what I was
feeling.
That's another thing about this experience...I was educated. Before
she began, Judy showed me in a mirror how my muscle tension was
affecting my posture. My right shoulder was about 2 inches higher than
my left - I was seriously crooked! And when I looked at myself from
the side view, even though I was trying to stand completely straight,
my body was leaning forward so much that with a little touch Judy was
able to push me forward. I was completely out of alignment and I
didn't know it!
Judy worked my muscles and educated me throughout the entire session.
When she was finished I couldn't believe how much better I felt. I
left the session feeling 2 inches taller, no neck, back or hip pain
and I slept like a baby Friday night. (Did I mention I've been dealing
with insomnia too?) Then Saturday morning when I woke up, I couldn't
believe it. My body felt incredible. I sat straight up - which usually
I have to roll over. I almost jumped out of bed and went to tell my
family how great my body felt and still feels.
I'm officially a lover of being pushed around! I can't wait to get
pushed around some more and try the other services Judy offers:
Reflexology, Reiki, lymphatic massage, foot detox and more.
Just so you know...Push muscle therapy may be able to eliminate the
causes of pain from the following conditions: carpal tunnel,
headaches, TMJ, leg or knee pain, plantar fasciitis, shoulder issues,
low back ache, or hip discomfort.

never felt so good.
