Jen Burt RMT

😁😁😁

Which ones have you seen/which one are you? 😂

Say Yes to all of this! We all need it right now! 😀

There was a tread on one of massage groups yesterday about a client pushing a therapists personal boundaries beyond what anyone should ever do. It left this RMT to question all that the knew about practicing in our field. Unfortunately it goes on more than is talked about. As an RMT I always have a high standard of practice and wish there was not that overstep to bring a treatment to uncomfortable level. Glad the therapist reached out to get advice and that they know it wasn’t their fault!

Well I guess us petitioning the Alberta government worked and we are back being able to practice again. There is a new restriction protocol where you need a referral or a written prescription from a medical doctor or any others approved health professionals below

I will be next week Dec 30th at the SE clinic and Dec 31st at the SW clinic. I will return to my regular schedule Jan 5th. Let’s cross our fingers that nothing changes again!

Wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday Season 🎄❄️🎄

I mention to my clients who are feeling that their muscles and always feeling tight and sore. So many of us have a magnesium deficiency. This a good little article

Think of magnesium as the relaxation mineral. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
You must have magnesium for your cells to make energy, for many different chemical pumps to work, to stabilize membranes, and to help muscles relax.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
The reason we are so deficient is simple: Many of us eat a diet that contains practically no magnesium — a highly-processed, refined diet that is based mostly on white flour, meat, and dairy (all of which have no magnesium).⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Anything that is tight, irritable, crampy, and stiff — whether it is a body part or an even a mood — is a sign of magnesium deficiency.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Including the following in your diet as often as you can:⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Kelp, wheat bran, wheat germ, almonds, cashews, buckwheat, brazil nuts, dulse, filberts, millet, pecans, walnuts, rye, tofu, soy beans, brown rice, figs, dates, collard greens, shrimp, avocado, parsley, beans, barley, dandelion greens, and garlic.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
I also highly recommend a daily magnesium supplement.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
The most absorbable forms are magnesium citrate, glycinate taurate, or aspartate, although magnesium bound to Kreb cycle chelates (malate, succinate, fumarate) are also good. To properly absorb magnesium we need a lot of it in our diet, plus enough vitamin B6, vitamin D, and selenium to get the job done.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Avoid magnesium carbonate, sulfate, gluconate, and oxide. They are poorly absorbed (and the cheapest and most common forms found in supplements).⠀

Here is some examples for ways to use your roller when stretching

Good Morning 😊 I’m going to start stretch Wednesday’s. My first one is going to start with how to do some general foam roller stretches. I’m a big advocate for using a foam roller to stretch out the myofascial areas of the body. Try this 5 min stretch video to start understanding how important stretching should be apart of your everyday routine.
