Ep 210 - Studying Ligamentous Pain from the Inside with Rob Libbey:"The Rebel MT"with Allison Denney

Rob Libbey is a well-practiced, well-written, and, some would argue, well-experienced massage therapist. His years of studying and practicing bodywork came to a screeching halt when he suffered multiple bone fractures to the chest from a car accident. But Rob turned his misfortune into an inside look at what exactly is happening with ligamentous pain patterns and recovery. Confirming a lot of what he already knew, Rob used his clients' feedback, his meticulous research and his own actual experience to understand how the body functions and heals. His book, Ligamentous Pain Referral Patterns, and his classes on Ligamentous Articular Strain Techniques are proof in the pudding.
