Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Welcome to JMS Issue #4 of 2019. We appreciate the support of our readers from all around the world. Here are the contents of the current issue, which we hope you will enjoy:
Our Person of the Month is Dr. Bruno Chikly, MD, DO, LMT. Dr. Chikly is a world authority on Lymph Drainage Massage and its clinical application. We suggest all our readers consider Dr. Chikly’s classes to master LDM as a critical component of any clinical massage application.
In the We Need Your Help section of the new issue, we ask our readers to vote in the JMS’s Best Case of the Month International Contest for 2019.
In our Introducing New CMMPs section, we introduce three new graduates of our Medical Massage Certification Program: Jorge Cruz Saenz, CMMP, LMT; Nancy McNamara, CMMP, LMT; and Brian Boetel, CMMP, CMT.
In the Science of Medical Massage section, we published three pieces:
- In ‘New Scientific Data To Revisit Active Trigger Points Concept: PART I,’ Dr. Ross Turchaninov discusses new scientific data on the pathophysiology of active Trigger Points.
- In the section’s second article, Eric Durak, MSc, shares with readers the results of an online survey study on self-therapy for Plantar Fasciitis in ‘The Effects of Dorsiflexion Stretches on Perceived Pain Levels in Plantar Fasciitis Sufferers: A Self-Selected YouTube Survey.’
- In the third piece, “The Danger Of Intra-Abdominal Work On The Iliopsoas Muscle,” we revisit the important subject of incorrect treatment for tension in the iliopsoas muscle through the abdominal cavity.
In our Case of the Month section, Nancy McNamara, CMMP, LMT, who recently graduated from our Medical Massage Certification Program, shares with readers the results of Medical Massage therapy for a very complex clinical case, ‘Medical Massage vs. 30 Years of Pain and Misery.’
Finally, as usual, you will find a lot of helpful information in our Good Apples/Bad Apples section.
Dr. Ross Turchaninov, Editor in Chief
