The calcaneus tendons are the strongest tendons but still easy to damage. From time to time I've got tension on Tibialis Anterior, and 4 lateral muscles of Extensor Digitorum Longus ,Extensor Hallucis, Fibularis Longus , Fibularis Brevis. I hope to address the problem as the study continues. Thanks for the lesson Maria. Dimple's Day 27 check in

I learned in psychology that in order to create a good habit it’s best to do it for 28 days straight. You’re a day away from creating the best habit of teaching yourself & learning for the rest of your life! I’m honored to have been a part of your journey

[@QueLindaLV]

Oh wow! So, I bet that’s what developed my plantar fascitis. I’ve worn heels for many years and now that I became a licensed esthetician/ massage therapist, I’ve gone to flat shoes and I began to develop pain on my Achilles. I believe it’s due to what you said, the shortening of the calcaneal tendon. That makes sense to me now. You are so knowledgeable!! Great info. Gracias.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

I forgot to mention the plantar fasciitis! You are very smart and figured it out! Yes heels is a main cause of calcaneal pain. Congratulations on becoming an aesthetician & massage therapist! You sound very knowledgeable yourself. Thank you for your support and feedback! Rolling your plantar side over a frozen water bottle really helps. Get someone to massage the plantar side & stretch it. It’s very painful yet I’ve had a few clients that swear by the massages I gave them. It went away. Best of wishes for you! 🤗

[@QueLindaLV]

Massage Therapeutics I had a therapist do gua sha/Graston technique on my gastrocnemeus and calcaneus and the pain was gone for a month. It felt so good!! Also myofascial release helped too.

[@QueLindaLV]

I’ve been an esthetician for 6 years and LMT for 4. I’ve been solo for 6 yrs here in Las Vegas. Your videos are by far the best I’ve ever seen. I just found you about a week ago. I’m so excited that I found you. If you ever have any CEU classes please sign me up. I would even save to come see you and train with you in person. I’m so impressed how you teach and the knowledge. It has renewed my passion for massage. You’re a great role model for us all. I was becoming bored with massage. But not anymore, thanks to your videos.

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Linda Gonzalez-Johns awesome techniques!!!! I want to learn the Grayson techniques myself! Thank you for sharing

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Linda Gonzalez-Johns this is the ultimate compliment Linda! Greatly appreciate it. I’m happy to hear it has ignited new passion for your practice. They’re many layers to massage therapy! Like an onion you can peel a new layer with knowledge. After 32 years I’m still learning. We start with techniques, then we learn more on kinesiology, compassion, intent, empathy and energy are a great combination. When we learn how to help & assist the body heal itself it’s the ultimate reward. Blessings to you you!!! ❤️. Stay healthy and strong

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

You’re welcome! I forgot to mention plantar fasciitis which is the most common reason for heel pain & foot pain. Regardless the reason rolling your foot over a frozen water bottle really helps bring down the inflammation and relieves pain. Hope you feel better soon 🙏🤗

Now that you have subtitles it's hard to see what you are pointing at. Maybe the videos has to be filmed a little more in the center. Just want you to know cause I like to follow your classes. They are super! 😀

You can move the subtitles out of the way to another location. Every computer is different so you will need to find out how to drag yours to the top so you can see what I’m doing. Thank you very much for your support!!! 🤗

[@mairaknow8289]

Really appreciate your work it's great, very helpful. 👏🏼❤️💋🇧🇬 I have a question about the guidelines on how to help our customers as you mentioned when they set foot lateral or medial ( invert or envert ). Thank you so very much ❣️

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Thank you for your compliment! So what is your question??? Not sure I understand it

[@mairaknow8289]

how or with what techniques we can help clients who step with the lateral edge of the foot and those who step with the medial. what in your practice you have noticed that gives results. to what extent we should pay attention to the whole chain back, thighs, legs. thank you in advance 🙏🏼❣️

[@mairaknow8289]

probably the topic is extensive and I understand if you do not have the opportunity to respond as a comment. as I said, what you are doing is wonderful and of great help to all colleagues

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Maira Know good question. When client inverts the foot (like putting feet together) I find that the lateral leg muscles are weaker. I pay extra attention to the Tibialis anterior & posterior, flexor Digitorum Longus & flexor Hallucis longes. These muscles are usually hypertonic. The shoes are worn out on the lateral side. I also massage the Soleus & gastrocnemius & the lateral muscles which do the opposite action. Inversion has a greater range of motion than Eversion. With Eversion the lateral muscles are hypertonic wearing out the shoes on the medial side. You can work specifically on the Fibularis Longus & Brevis & Tertius along with the extensor Digitorum Longus. These 4 muscles on the lateral side are usually very tight and are pulling the foot out. You also want to work posterior leg muscles to balance them all out. It is challenging to explain on text how to work these muscles. I hope this answers your great question. Thank you 😊

[@tinuskiesling7846]

Hi Maria. Thanks for your great videos. Where do I find more info as to drawing the muscles? Can I download or buy something from you to help me?

[@MassageTherapeutics915]

Hello Tinus I’m not sure I understand your question? You can save the video to practice drawing them on someone. You can purchase washable markers to practice. I don’t know what kind of help you need.
