Congrats to Jen and Zach!

On Friday the 5th of August, Jen and Zach Wight graduated from UCMT! I am so proud of them! They have been through a lot in the last year, and I have loved being along for the ride!

 This is Linda, a girl from my ward, here she is receiving an award for being a part of the "5 club."

 Jen too!

 and of course Zach!

 Being a member of the "5 club" means they completed 5 full massages every time they had a clinic setting, which means completing around 105 massages over the last few months!

 This is Linda receiving her diploma.

 Jen and Zach waiting anxiously for their names to be read to get their diplomas.

 Jen getting hers!

 Zach getting his!

This guys face is classic! Jen doesn't even know who this guy is... awkward...

As a tribute to Zach I told him I'd post some info regarding the benefits of massage therapy.

Massage therapy can stop the need for surgery which once you cut into fascia and you lose 15% of your ROM.  And some of the pain that people feel isn't actually coming from where they feel it.  People can have trigger points that can mimic Sciatica, carpal tunnel, TMJD, and most trigger points are the reasons for headaches.  Like take the trapezius a muscle on the back its pain referral zone goes up around the eye.  Massage can also help get rid of carpal tunnel.  Cranial Sacral can move bones into place by lightly manipulating fascia while structural can completely change someones pain by channing habits people don't know they have.  Prenatal can help a mother feel better during a pregnancy, while infant massage can actually increase the growth of an infant.
