Preface[Page xi]
The influence of the legal system on American society has never been more prominent than during the decade of the 1990s. Whether because of relaxed rules for filing lawsuits, the social phenomena of turning to the courts to solve all disputes, or the media coverage of trials and other legal procedures, mental health workers have seen their practice increasingly affected by the law. The specialized language and procedures of the legal profession make it difficult for most nonlawyers to participate in this part of the democratic process. As a clinical social worker and an attorney, I have found myself in the role of educator with both professions. Clinicians need to know how to respond to legal issues related to practice and lawyers need to know the roles and perspectives of mental health practitioners.
This book grew out of my experiences training and consulting with lawyers, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals. When faced with an impending legal issue, most clinicians become intimidated. Their focus is directed at avoiding or at least minimizing the scope of their involvement. They seldom understand the expectations of lawyers or the opportunities to influence the legal process. I believe that the demystification of the law is necessary to enable clinicians to feel empowered by their interactions with the legal system and thus make the law more therapeutic for clients and more supportive to mental health professionals. This book is intended to help readers feel more confident and competent when faced with legal issues in practice.
[Page xii]The increased attention to the legal issues has been focused primarily on malpractice risk reduction. This perspective is limiting and reactive. If mental health professionals understand and embrace opportunities to influence legal decisions, they can develop a more sophisticated approach to handling legal issues as they arise in practice. Further, they can structure practice policies so as to reduce the potential of causing harm to clients and, from this strategy, reduce the risks of being sued.
Many times when I complete a legal presentation to mental health clinicians, I see a look of dread and fear on people's faces. A common response is that these issues are never thought about until there is a problem. Practice policies may be lax or nonexistent, and clients' legal rights may be routinely ignored. It is time to stop avoiding the law and denying the obvious legal implications of mental health practice. I hope that the readers of this book will use the information to be prepared for the inevitable interactions with the legal system.
This book begins with an examination of the role of the law in society, especially the ways in which the law influences practice. Succeeding chapters analyze various aspects of clinical practice including record keeping and confidentiality, the standard of care for particular treatment situations, and the business and management issues faced by agencies and private practitioners. The final chapter illustrates some of the legal issues often faced by clients. I hope students and clinicians read the book to improve their knowledge of the law, but because the legal issues are complex, this book also can be used as a reference source, as legal issues arise in practice.
The use of case descriptions throughout the book is intended to illustrate the workings of the courts, to provide insight into the manner of legal decision making, and to expose the reader to the orientation of legal professionals. Some of the case material is presented in narrative style, while other cases are quoted directly from the legal opinions issued by the courts. Cases have been chosen carefully to address specific legal issues. As a result, only those sections of the opinion that relate to the mental health issue have been reproduced. In most cases, the text has been edited for readability and the internal citations have been omitted from the court opinions. Readers are directed to the official case report for the complete text and for the exact language of the cases.
The legal information in this book is intended to educate the reader about general legal principles. None of the information in this book should be considered legal advice. Practitioners are urged to consult [Page xiii]with a local lawyer because each jurisdiction has its own statutes and case law and may not follow the majority view on a particular issue. Local chapters of professional organizations often maintain lists of attorneys who have knowledge or experience in mental health law.
The legal issues in mental health practice are too numerous and complicated to be treated in any single volume. Given that the law is constantly evolving, it is my hope that more practitioners and scholars will participate in study and communication about the variety of ways the law influences practice and, just as important, the many ways clinicians can influence the law.Acknowledgments

Afterword[Page 257]
A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at any moment taking place in it.Herbert Spencer (Principles of Biology, 1865)
The premise explored at the start of this book was that the legal system is an instrument of society used to regulate the conduct of its members. Succeeding chapters demonstrated that the legal system is also a malleable system that requires information from a variety of sources to establish rules and guidelines for behavior. Because of its perceived authority and its obtuse terminology and procedures, the legal system feels uncomfortable and is initially inaccessible for nonlawyers. But there are many ways in which the mental health professions can influence the legal system so that the rules used to guide and judge the field actually reflect the standards of the professions and the needs of clients. The challenge for mental health professionals is to tolerate the discomfort of foreign terminology, procedures, purposes, and structures and become a part of the system that exerts so much influence on practice.
The legal issues in social work, counseling, and psychotherapy often have been viewed from the perspective of their "interference" with professional practice. Clinicians are taught how to avoid legal problems and reduce malpractice risks. Unfortunately, although useful in some respects, this approach is insufficient. The main reason for legal system involvement in mental health practice is to create and enforce standards that protect the public. Most of the time, the legal complaints against [Page 258]clinicians that reach the trial stage are substantive. There should be an available means to levy sanctions against offending practitioners and to award compensatory damages to injured clients. The mental health community should support this system. The standards of care for practice and the adherence to procedures to protect confidentiality and other rights of clients primarily exist to protect clients, not professionals. With this orientation, legal guidelines for practice can be viewed as consumer protection strategies, and adherence to their strictures is made more palatable.The Influence of the Law on Clinical Practice
The influence of the legal system has been a reward, of sorts, for the growing legitimacy of counseling and psychotherapy in American society. As the field has developed, there has been an increasing need for standardization of practice methods and improved research to support common theoretical models. These standards should originate with the mental health professions. The professional associations must be active in refining guidelines for professional conduct as well as self-policing bad practice and dangerous practitioners. The legal system relies on such published standards, as well as expert witnesses, when there are lawsuits or other legal actions involving counselors, social workers, and psychotherapists.Case Law Often Makes Bad Law
When a court is considering a legal complaint charging malpractice, the focus is on the facts of the particular case. The testimony and evidence about the standard of care in the profession is solicited by the attorneys representing both parties. In the absence of clear, accepted standards, courts may substitute their judgment for that of the professional community. In a case where there is a well-defined standard of care for practice, plaintiff attorneys may seek "expert testimony" that contradicts the generally accepted view within the profession. In all such situations, clinicians must testify with integrity. Obviously, the information presented in court is that which is supportive of the case. The adversarial system requires the opposing side to present evidence to contradict or clarify the plaintiff's evidence. Then it is the job of the jury, or the judge in a bench trial, to listen to all of the evidence and determine whether there was an injury, whether the defendant was at fault, and whether damages should be awarded.
In this context, the evidence of the applicable standard of care may be overridden by sympathy for the injured party. If a jury returns a verdict in favor of a sympathetic plaintiff, it may be understandable, but no less dangerous. A decision in a high-profile lawsuit can result in other [Page 259]cases being filed using the same rationale and legal strategies. Before long, a trend of legal decisions has put the practice community on notice that the standard of care has changed. In response, professional associations publish articles about the new expectations, and individual practitioners who read about the results of the case adjust their practice accordingly to reduce their risk of liability.
The way social workers, counselors, and psychotherapists influence the law. The problem with the scenario outlined above is the degree to which it reflects a pattern of professional inaction followed by reaction. Professional standards must be developed in the context of research and theory as opposed to emotional court cases. Individual practitioners need to be involved in ongoing practice research to evaluate the effectiveness of current therapies. When these standards are published by professional organizations, it is difficult to argue that one expert should be believed over the collective voice of thousands of practitioners. Professional organizations must also be vigilant in monitoring legal cases that have the potential to affect practice. In this regard, the professional organizations deserve credit for having assumed a more active role in recent years. When amicus briefs are filed in important cases by the professional organizations, they generally are given considerable weight. Finally, when a case does result in a changed expectation from previously accepted practice standards, the professional organizations need to be active in the legislative arena to introduce bills to codify the proper standard, thereby eviscerating the precedential value of the court decision.
Many clients enter counseling or psychotherapy because their behaviors have caused problems in their lives. At times, it may be an inability to control anger or sadness, while at other times, it may be a difficulty controlling impulsive actions. One of the defining characteristics of an effective clinician is the ability to be nonjudgmental about these behaviors. Clinicians see behavior as functional in that it addresses some need of the client, even if the behavior seems self-destructive or otherwise difficult to accept. Mental health professionals must be able to use the same approach to working with attorneys. Generally attorneys are focused on zealous advocacy for their clients. At times, this causes the interactions between clinicians and lawyers to be strained but, most often, clinicians can improve the effectiveness of their interactions with lawyers by understanding the role each party is playing in a case. Lawyers must deal in facts in the courtroom and may have little patience for indecisiveness and soft information. On the other hand, attorneys [Page 260]generally are concerned about their clients and react well to efforts to support a client's emotional health.
Clinicians need to be mindful of the legal implications of their business practices and the policies that govern their interactions with clients. Carefully designed business and practice policies that ensure compliance with legal requirements are critical to protecting client rights and personal assets. If involvement with the legal system is accepted as a necessary and unavoidable reality in today's practice environment, clinicians will be prepared for handling questions about client confidentiality, issues about client records, and will understand how to respond to a subpoena.
The best strategy for asserting influence in the legal process begins with knowledge about the legal system. When mental health professionals understand the purpose of the proceeding, clarify the roles of the attorneys and other professionals, and prepare themselves for the roles they are being asked to play, they are granted opportunities to educate and thus influence the legal system.

[3.0] Fire Conversion Debeon's Dirge Cyclone WiP
Kia Ora,
First build guide.
This build uses the new Debeon's Dirge cold damage axe and converts the damage to 100% fire using Cold to Fire Gem (CtF) and either Avatar of Fire of Xoph's Blood Amulet.
By converting to fire you are now able to use the Izaro's Turmoil jewels for up to 50% increased damage jewels and there are a lot more scaling options.
Required Items
This item makes the build possible, great x-x cold, and the warcry bonuses are a great steroid for boss fights/in between packs.
Needed for the socket underneath the duelist start area, gives great inc cold damage. Only need 1
50% possible inc damage for 3 points is better than most weapon nodes on the tree, I use 4-5 of them in the build.
Nice to have items
Reduces the amount of travel you have to take on the skill tree, gives great damage. Is hideously expensive this league. Hopefully it comes down. The dream would be +1 curse so you can run flammability and ele weakness.
Really happy with this item on this build less of a downside since very little of your damage comes from phys converted to cold then to fire.
Awesome chest for this build, once again, very expensive this league, I managed to pick mine up early otherwise I wouldn't have it.
Running this along with Primeval force and the reflect pantheon power means you can run ele reflect maps no problem.
Great additional pen if you can balance your resists enough.
My tree
After finally getting xoph's I now have an int problem, until I get that sorted I've had to spend a few points on the tree to meet the int requirement of my gems, hopefully once I've sunk a bit more time and currency in to this build I can shift that on to better jewelry.
My goal tree will be something like this
Leveling/No Xophs
No issues leveling with the Duelist 2H phys and axe nodes until you get to a high enoug level to use Debeon's Dirge.
Just path up from Resolute Technique to AoF if you don't have Xophs, I got up to T13 maps quite comfortably before I got Xoph's, might be able to take it higher.
My gear
Cyclone + CtF + Ele focus (swap with inc AoE) + Fire pen + Ele attacks + Ruthless
Warchief + Ctf + Ele focus + Ele attacks
Warcry, Anger, Blasphemy + Flammability
CwDT + Bloodrage + inc duration + immortal call
Instead of Anger I some times run haste in the place of Bloodrage for temp chain maps.
PoB Import
Berserker variant courtesy of Domosed, probably the better way to go for end game.

Tree without xoph's blood: http://poeurl.com/bsnC

I've been juggling with this axe too, good to see you are having a go at it! How is the build feeling at the moment? Is it ok to interrupt the cyclone every 4 seconds?
Your tree is quiet stretched out, a lot of points are wasted on getting somewhere while you skip all the elemental nodes near templar. Also, I did not think of using cold steel before, great idea. You are under utilising it though? It should apply to all the axe nodes south of duelist and also left of marauder (if the jewel is not limited to 1).
I played around in path of building and you are right, berserker does give you more dps even without avatar of fire (just staying cold damage and using two cold steels). Sits at ~70k dps unbuffed with just the axe and no other gear. (cyclone, elemental hits, cold pen, elemental focus faster attacks.
I don't see this being any better or even close to any of the phys weapons. Even with Ancesteral warchief - berserker there are way better options out there. Still looking how to use this weapon best.
I would build something along these lines with cyclone but not convinced yet:

Build is good, Normal Atziri is a breeze, clearing corrupted T13 maps just fine. Currently saving for a Xoph's heart so I can refund some of the nodes up the top of the tree.
I only really use the warcry steroid for bosses where i'm kiting a bit anyway, just map clearing my DPS is good enough without.
My tree is spread out to get as many Izarios Turmoils as possible, almost 50% increased damage for around 3 points per jewel socket is better than most other nodes I think.
I've had a play in PoB and picking up some more nodes underneath duelist with cold steel does give a nice DPS boost, will probably path down to wrecking ball soon.
Here is the PoB link for the build I'm aiming for. The DPS is quite high, in reality I'm sure it's not this good.
edit2: https://pastebin.com/HRtsxfuU this one is actually way better than the previous one i posted.

Playing this build atm, and it is really fun, so thanks for posting. Just wondering, are you able to do ele reflect maps? I haven't gotten to maps just yet to try it.
Hey , how would i go about leveling this character ?

I play this as the "normal" cold version ans with ice bite and frenzy charges. Cold Steel 2 times so I can get onslaught for clearspeed with the left big axe node. Deidbellow is so strong. Guardians warcry node is a must imo. Otherwise u stun yourself every 4 secs. So onslaught + ascendency + deidbellow + axe is +70MS, +55IAS and 150% inc ele dmg. Insane with cyclone. :)
Cwdt + frostbomb for bosses. Tasalios Sign for flat ele bonus. But your fire Version seems pretty cool. Zerker was my (obvious) second choice.
my zerker variant https://pastebin.com/DKSMTSAn
I leveled just using the 2H nodes under duelist with wideswing/bloodreaper/koams. It was pretty comfy.
Yes, I can just do ele reflect maps now, I use the reflect pantheon, Sibyl's and primeval force node and don't have any issues.

try this build with zerker and duelist, zerker better for endgame bosses.
But duelist very cool for clearing maps.
UnrulyGentleman, can you add my variant to build?
I do not want make thread in Marauder category.I think better add Berserker variant in this post.

Added Berserker, I haven't found any issues with Ruthless, there are little indicators above the enemies when they are affected by a ruthless blow, it seems to be happening often enough.

For starters, you bear in mind the things described above that tend to cause ugly pain, and you avoid that kind of therapy like the plague. Then you look for some clues that painful pressure is okay. Here are at least three reasons why unpleasantly intense pressure might be therapeutic — "bad pain," but not ugly. In each of these situations, it might be acceptable to tolerate sensations so intense and painful that the only thing about them that is pleasant is the part where it stops.

I've worked in a variety of exciting environments, including the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, the Greece Paralympic Summer Games and on the road with the U.S. National Powerlifting Team. Plus, I have worked with collegiate, ABL and WNBA athletes. Currently, I travel with the WTA (Women's Tennis Association) as part of the sports science and medicine team. In my private clinic, I specialize in orthopedic massage.
Friction strokes work on deeper muscles than the techniques previously described. The friction technique is a pressure stroke and is the deepest that is used in Swedish massage. The massage therapist applies pressure by placing the weight of his or her body on the flat of the hand and the pads of the thumbs, knuckles, fingers, or the back of the forearms, and then releases the pressure slowly and gently. This movement should be a continuous sliding motion or a group of alternating circular motions.
If you enjoy the therapeutic benefits of foot Reflexology massage, you should know that the benefits are compounded when utilized as a frequent therapy. The more you go, the healthier you feel. With a Massage Envy membership, you can enjoy these benefits as often as you'd like. Monthly dues include a one-hour massage session and unlimited additional one-hour sessions at the low membership rate. To make things even easier, there are hundreds of Massage Envy locations nationwide. So you can relax, rejuvenate, and continue to grow healthier wherever you go.

Until better evidence is published in peer reviewed journals, he remains skeptical of claims that by massaging or applying pressure to specific points on the hands or feet, a reflexologist can alleviate problems in corresponding organs or other systems throughout the body. He has seen no evidence showing that reflexology is effective for pain or any health problems unrelated to the feet and hands. He urges caution with regard to claims that reflexology can cleanse the body of toxins, increase circulation, promote weight loss, or successfully treat earaches, hemorrhoids, emphysema, heart disease, thyroid disorders or any other health condition.
Zebulon Pike 30295 Georgia GA 33.1002 -84.3108
There are articles on "Learn the Importance of Five Elements Theory in Acupressure – Dao, Yin Yang," how acupuncture is effective for smoking cessation; why acupuncture is a form of preventive medicine; how acupuncture treats various skin conditions, seasonal allergies, emphysema, hemorrhoids, gallbladder disorders, and emotional syndromes; the healing effects of Qi in acupuncture; the Five Spirits that impact mental health (Hun, Shen, Yi, Zhi, and Po); and on and on.

Trigger points or stress points may also cause muscle soreness and decreased flexibility. These points are specific spots in muscle and tendons which cause pain when pressed, and which may radiate pain to a larger area. They are not bruises, but are thought by some to be small areas of spasm. Trigger points may be caused by sudden trauma (like falling or being hit), or may develop over time from the stress and strain of heavy physical exertion or from repeated use of a particular muscle.
Earliest discovery of reflexology was found in Egypt based on the observation of daily life activities including the medical practices.1 Other studies have reported that reflexology emerges from China for the last 5000 years ago but there is no documentation found, so with the finding of hieroglyphic mural in the pyramid located in Saggara, reflexology is considered as a part of Egyptian culture from 2330 BC.3 At the late of 14th century, reflexology was already applied throughout the Europe with another name; zone therapy.9 Father of modern reflexology, Dr. William Fitzgerald (1872–1942) has discovered that zone therapy has been used by Aboriginal American.9 Jenny Wallace from North American Indians tribes used pressure at the feet as one of the sources of healing process.9 Fitzgerald study has brought reflexology practice to be widely used in the United States.3 The discovery of zone therapy was developed from the finding of pressure applied on many parts of body such as hands, nose, ears, and many more can relieve pain sensation.10 Dr. Joe Shelby Riley from Washington has conducted many studies of therapy including reflexology and has used this therapy for many years.9 Eunice Ingham (1879–1974) has worked together with Dr. Riley in 1930's as the therapist and work greatly to help people understand reflexology.8 She shared the technique of reflexology with others by writing many books such as "Stories the Feet Can Tell, Stories the Feet Have Told, and Stories the Feet Are Telling".9 Reflexology has greater recognition after the emergence of another eminent woman in this therapy world with her book; "Helping Yourself with Foot Reflexology" which reached more than 500,000 copies sold.9
Reflexology is basically a study of how one part of the human body relates to another part of the body. Reflexology practitioners rely on the reflexes map of the feet and hands to all the internal organs and other human body parts. They believe that by applying the appropriate pressure and massage certain spots on the feet and hands, all other body parts could be energized and rejuvenated. This review aimed to revisit the concept of reflexology and examine its effectiveness, practices, and the training for reflexology practitioners. PubMed, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and SpringerLink databases were utilized to search the following medical subject headings or keywords: foot massage, reflexology, foot reflexotherapy, reflexological treatment, and zone therapy. The articles published for the last 10 years were included. Previous systematic reviews failed to show concrete evidence for any specific effect of reflexology in any conditions. Due to its non-invasive, non-pharmacological complementary nature, reflexology is widely accepted and anecdotal evidence of positive effect reflexology in a variety of health conditions are available. Adequate training for practitioners is necessary to ensure the consistency of service provided.
The first thing to bear in mind is that deep tissue massage is used for therapy and rehabilitation, not relaxation. So you need to be prepared to feel some discomfort during a deep tissue massage and even after. You will most probably lie on your stomach or back while the massage therapist applies various degrees of pressure on tight muscles that have issues and are lying dormant in your body.
The literature on reflexology is only beginning to emerge since early 1990. Several methodological shortcomings in the previous studies of reflexology safety and efficacy are worth mentioning. Firstly, the number and the methods of reflexology treatment given are not standardized. Furthermore, most studies have small sample size (around 20 participants).
Deep Tissue Massage Designed to release tight, fatigued muscles and joints, this specialized massage focuses on detailed therapeutic muscle work by using stronger pressure on specific areas and working the deeper layers of muscle tissue. Includes a pain relief topical treatment to provide the most benefit during and after your massage. 60/90 Minutes $115/$149

A couples massage allows partners to experience massage together in the same area as one therapist works on each person. Some spas turn this into a romantic event that can leave guests starry-eyed, setting the treatment in a special room or suite large enough for two, beachside underneath the stars, or in the couple's guest room at a hotel or resort. For an extra-special touch, rooms reserved for side-by-side massage treatments may feature cozy spa fixtures such as fireplaces, shower facilities, Jacuzzis, and dual soaking tubs, and some spas offer irresistible amenities like champagne and strawberries as a sumptuous treat. Many spas offer treatments à deux so spa-goers can share a pampering experience with a significant other, but a couples massage isn't just for romantics—mother-daughter duos and best friends may also enjoy side-by-side services. For couples, this form of massage can offer a double dose of benefits. The tandem treatment invites couples to get a bit closer and reconnect, and it can enhance intimacy and teach each partner how to take care of the other. Plus, select spas allow lovebirds to get in sync by offering sessions that teach massage techniques. Pampering and rejuvenating facials, massages, and other treatments in a half- or full-day increments can make up a whole spa package for couples. For more on Couples Massage, see our guide.
The recognition of reflexology as a specific type of treatment began with Zone Theory, in which the body is divided into 10 vertical zones. Each zone corresponds to fingers and toes all the way up to the top of the head. For example, if you are standing up with your hands on your thighs (palms facing down) the thumbs and great toe would be zone 1. On either side of the body, the index finger and second toe would be zone 2, etc.

Some research has shown that massage therapy can be effective during pregnancy due to its anxiety-lowering effects, and women who receive massages before and during labor tend to experience decreased depression, anxiety, and leg and back pain. Results from one study found that women who received massages prior to and during labor had significantly less pain, plus their labors were on average three hours shorter and required less need for medication.
Cedartown Polk 30125 Georgia GA 34.0112 -85.2459
Before booking an appointment, ask questions about the therapist's education and experience, like "What is your training?" "How many years have you been practicing?" and "Do you work frequently with runners?", suggests Gammal. Seek referrals if possible, and ensure s/he is a licensed massage therapist. Rotenberger recommends a massage therapist specifically trained in orthopedic treatment and assessment, as s/he will know when to refer you to another healthcare professional, in the case that you're experiencing chronic pain and discomfort not fixable via massage. You can find a reputable practitioner via www.orthomassage.net or www.NeuroMuscular-Reprogramming.com.
A skilled therapist will tailor your session exactly as you need it based on your needs. As in all bodywork, the key to a gratifying experience is largely a function of good communication and clarification of objectives. We promise, we WANT you to speak up if there is anything we can do to make your session more comfortable so that you have a positive experience.

Most deep tissue massages normally focus on major muscle groups — such as the neck or lower back — along with joints and tendons that are susceptible to straining or injuries. Certain areas of the body that tend to tense up in times of stress, including the shoulders, neck and hips, can often benefit the most from this type of deep manipulation. Many people consider "sports massages" to be a form of deep tissue massage, which involves physical treatment primarily to neuromusculoskeletal systems to treat pain and disability, improve muscle recovery and joint mobilization, and prevent injuries.
In Mexico massage therapists, called "sobadores", combine massage using oil or lotion[102] with a form of acupuncture and faith.[103] Sobadores are used to relieve digestive system problems as well as knee and back pain.[102][103] Many of these therapists work out of the back of a truck, with just a curtain for privacy.[103] By learning additional holistic healer's skills in addition to massage, the practitioner may become a curandero.[104]
Pumping - The stroking movements in massage suck fluid through blood vessels and lymph vessels. By increasing the pressure in front of the stroke, a vacuum is created behind. This is especially important in tight or damaged muscle tissue as a tight muscle will squeeze blood out like a sponge, depriving the tissues of vital nutrients and energy to repair.
Austell Cobb 30106 Georgia GA 33.8369 -84.6307
Superior communication skills: Massage therapy is not just about using your massage skills to improve a client's physical condition. As a therapist, you must be able to clearly and effectively communicate with them to make sure you are being receptive to their needs and creating a comfortable environment for them. Massage therapy appointments should begin with a consultation that discusses what the client expects from you and what you can help provide. It is important that you discuss any health issues clients might have or if they are experiencing pain or discomfort in any part of their body. This will help determine the types of massage techniques you can use during the session.
Marietta Cobb 30069 Georgia GA 33.9125 -84.5572
"Runners put so much effort into training, but very few athletes put effort into taking good care of body that helps them perform," says Gammal, who recommends incorporating regular massage—even if it's just a 30-minute session once a month—so as to prevent injuries and the overtraining of muscles. Scheduling mid-training appointments can also reveal places that are tight and places that should be addressed in post-workout stretching. "Massage isn't a luxury, Gammal says. "It's an investment."

Rubbing deep muscles and relieving pressures has been shown to improve blood flow. New research further explains there is an improvement in circulation in both athletes and non-exercisers, suggesting the benefit beyond the realm of exercise and correlated muscle injury and soreness. Blood pressure and heart rate can also be lowered following deep tissue massage.
An effective maintenance program is based on the massage therapist's understanding of anatomy and kinesiology, combined with an expert knowledge of which muscles are used in a given sport and which are likely candidates for trouble. By zeroing in on particular muscle groups and working specific tissues, the sports massage therapist can help the athlete maintain or improve range of motion and muscle flexibility. The overall objective of a maintenance program is to help the athlete reach optimal performance through injury-free training.

For example, I worked on the Indiana Sports Massage Team starting in 1989, as well as the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships and National Championships. I coordinated massage for the 1992 Olympic Trials and was on the 1996 Olympic Massage Team for the Atlanta Olympics—the first time massage therapy was part of the medical staff for the Olympics. These were all volunteer positions, but I loved it!
A satisfying sensation doesn't necessarily imply successful treatment, unfortunately. Scratching mosquito bites feels great… but it's not helping them! Trigger points may be like mosquito bites: it may feel terrific to massage those mysterious sensitive spots in soft tissue, but it may not be doing much to actually "release" or resolve them. It may be a purely sensory experience, the satisfaction of dealing with an "itch" that we cannot easily reach on our own.

Trigger points or stress points may also cause muscle soreness and decreased flexibility. These points are specific spots in muscle and tendons which cause pain when pressed, and which may radiate pain to a larger area. They are not bruises, but are thought by some to be small areas of spasm. Trigger points may be caused by sudden trauma (like falling or being hit), or may develop over time from the stress and strain of heavy physical exertion or from repeated use of a particular muscle.
Manual lymphatic drainage is a technique used to gently work and stimulate the lymphatic system, to assist in reduction of localized swelling. The lymphatic system is a network of slow moving vessels in the body that carries cellular waste toward the heart, to be filtered and removed. Lymph also carries lymphocytes, and other immune system agents. Manual lymphatic drainage claims to improve waste removal and immune function.[47][48][49]

Pain management. If you have a condition like sciatica or osteoarthritis and are suffering from chronic pain as a result, Swedish massage can be an effective method for managing that pain in a natural way. Notify your massage therapist about your pain points, he or she can target those areas and use a stroking motion to improve local circulation and reduce muscle tension.
In Swedish massage, the person to be massaged lies on a massage table and is draped with a towel or sheet. It is a full-body massage treatment, except in areas that are contraindicated or where the client requests not to be touched. Aromatic or unscented oil or lotion is used to facilitate the massage movements. Each session usually lasts 30-60 minutes. Depending on the client's preferences, a massage session may involve the use of several or all of the following basic techniques: effleurage, petrissage, friction, vibration, and tapotement.

In short, yes. An athlete's medical condition and history should not be discussed with anyone except other trainers or coaches. There is nothing the media likes more than to hear a high profile athlete is sick or injured, so those discussions don't happen outside of closed doors. The athlete is the only person who should be deciding what information they want to share.

Massage therapy involves rubbing muscles and joints of the body, generally to relieve tension. When it comes to Swedish massage versus deep tissue massage, they are similar but with defining differences, as the pressures and techniques help to differentiate between massage methods. Swedish massage is most commonly offered and utilizes a firm pressure on muscles. Five primary strokes encompass Swedish massage to increase blood flow, ease muscular tension, and reduce stress response.
Hair loss: Massaging several acupressure points will "stimulate and energize the nerves that are causing the problem." The Paihui is important. "The Paihui is located right in the middle of your scalp. Most of the pressure points related to the hair re-growth are present near this area. Take ten toothpicks and wrap them in a rubber band. Use them to gently poke the paihui, be very careful not to hurt yourself. This action improves the blood circulation in the scalp, which reduces hair fall."
The reason the Pressure Question exists is that it's hard for patients to tell the difference between nasty pain that might be a necessary part of therapy, and ugly pain that is just abusive. Not everything that hurts is therapeutic, but not every therapeutic procedure is painless! How can we tell if an intense massage technique is therapeutic or not?

"Runners put so much effort into training, but very few athletes put effort into taking good care of body that helps them perform," says Gammal, who recommends incorporating regular massage—even if it's just a 30-minute session once a month—so as to prevent injuries and the overtraining of muscles. Scheduling mid-training appointments can also reveal places that are tight and places that should be addressed in post-workout stretching. "Massage isn't a luxury, Gammal says. "It's an investment."
Studies have shown that reflexology can be very beneficial for pregnant women, particularly in terms of labor lengths and their need for analgesics during labor and postpartum recovery time. Beyond that, due to many of the health benefits already outlined above, it can reduce the chances of postpartum depression and can also help a woman's body heal itself faster and get back to its normal metabolic activity quickly.
A typical reflexology session runs from thirty to sixty minutes. Shoes and socks are removed, and the client is made comfortable, usually by sitting or reclining. Some reflexologists offer a foot bath at the beginning of the session, however, no lotions or oils are used. Pressure is applied in thumb-and-finger "walking" patterns, resulting in gentle stretching and massaging of specific zones of the hands and feet that are thought to correspond to body organs. Simple self-care instructions may be discussed at the completion of the session.

The pressure from Swedish massage is ideal for relieving muscle tension, like the kind that builds up from hunching over a computer all day. This tension can sometimes result in knots: trigger points of extremely tense muscle fibers that form tiny nodules. Massage therapists are trained to feel for these knots, and Swedish-massage techniques are ideal for gently coaxing them away.
By stimulating reflex points on your feet, hands, face and ears, reflexology subtly impacts the whole body, affecting the organs and glands. A simple reflexology routine that works on just the feet can help you or a loved one to drift off to sleep naturally. There are nearly 15,000 nerves in your feet alone, one of many reasons that foot reflexology is so calming, soothing and effective.

Lomilomi is the traditional massage of Hawaii. As an indigenous practice, it varies by island and by family. The word lomilomi also is used for massage in Samoa and East Futuna. In Samoa, it is also known as lolomi and milimili. In East Futuna, it is also called milimili, fakasolosolo, amoamo, lusilusi, kinikini, fai'ua. The Māori call it romiromi and mirimiri. In Tonga massage is fotofota, tolotolo, and amoamo. In Tahiti it is rumirumi. On Nanumea in Tuvalu, massage is known as popo, pressure application is kukumi, and heat application is tutu. Massage has also been documented in Tikopia in the Solomon Islands, in Rarotonga and in Pukapuka in Western Samoa.[46]

For me, the opportunity to work with individuals who have such an awareness of their bodies is exceptional. You and the athlete are a team. Locating an area of dysfunction, aiding in the relief or facilitating improvement in the area, then watching the athlete go out and perform well is uplifting. The environment is charged. What's more, learning from health care professionals while teaching them how massage fits into overall health and wellness is just plain awesome!

Connective tissue stimulation. A lot of therapists are keen on stretching connective tissues — tendons, ligaments, and layers of Saran wrap-like tissue called "fascia." I'm not a huge fan of this style, but certainly it's a way of generating many potent and novel sensations, which may be inherently valuable to us — another form of touch. Although "improving" the fascia itself is implausible and unproven, perhaps fascial manipulations affect bodies indirectly, just as a sailboat is affected by pulling on its rigging. People have written whole books full of speculation along these lines. So, as long as the sensations are not like skin tearing (that's an ugly pain for sure), you might choose to tolerate this kind of massage if it seems to be helping you.

In a world where the eyes on the back of your head are probably a camera, one artist re-imagines iconic movies for the internet age.
Immersive Video for All
You wouldn't happen to be in the market for a video camera that films in 360-degrees and produces video that can be viewed in VR headsets and on any number of other screens you might have handy? You are? Well, good news. At the F8 conference for Facebook developers, the company announced the Surround360. Wired Magazine describes it:
Built from off-the-shelf hardware worth roughly $30,000, this black circular camera—with its 17 evenly spaced lenses—looks kinda like the flying droid that descends onto the ice planet at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back (though it lacks those insect-like dangly legs). Drawing images from all 17 of those lenses, it produces 360-degree spherical video
$30,000 a bit out of reach? No worries. The company is giving away both the hardware designs and the software. Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg looks at the Surround360 as a tool for community building noting, "the best way to advance the technology is to work on it as a community."
Facebook plans to share the plans for the technology this summer on GitHub.

Making Public Data Accessible
We're living in an age of open data. Every day, new swaths of information are made available to us in any number of ways from crime statistics to marriage rates. And while it's important that this information is available, what does it really mean for the public? If the available data then requires a trained eye to decipher and then tell the stories behind the numbers, is that data really public? It's available, yes, but available and accessible are wildly different things.
Enter DataUSA.
DataUSA, a project housed at the M.I.T. Media Lab, is providing the public with comprehensive state data and accompanying visualizations on an open-source platform:
Cesar A. Hidalgo, an assistant professor of media arts and sciences at the M.I.T. Media Lab who led the development of Data USA, said the website was devised to "transform data into stories."

Dear Data Gets Animated
Our lives are made up of a series of moments. Some big, some small, but it is the moments that can change us, the moments that can excite us. With that idea in mind, designers Giorgia Lupi and Stefanie Posavec created the year-long data visualization project, Dear Data. Visualizing the small moments from the number of distractions to the amount of swearing in a week, the two found ways to connect these moments into a larger understanding about themselves, their surrounds, and their relationships. In this animation from Big Bang Data, the designers discuss their project.
