I wis I could get massages… my mom thinks? of it as a reward thing and not a healing technique & yet spends over $100 on medication that makes me feel like complete crap, & it’s not for anything important. I’m so stressed out & I feel like a massage would be so so beneficial…I wish my mom wasn’t so shitty -.-

I like Athena Jezik’s videos for the most part, and aside from her? consistant grammatical errors in her videos (I’m a grammar Nazi), she overcompensates a massage for what it really is…a massage. If I had a virus, I wouldn’t be seeing a therapist or getting a massage, I’d be seeing a doctor. That would be the logical thing to do.

@demonicspire1 I don’t think these videos will help you relax buddy. Try Xanax 0.5mg TID. Also stop being a? troll.

@bumpsy89 Way to take a ludicrously complex issue and boil it down into one glib statement. Jesus fuck, its just a massage, take it for what its worth, I hate to be that kind of asshole, but I really don’t like it when people spout? off factoids they heard from somewhere else without bothering to understand them first. Sure stress damages the immune system, but do you even understand the mechanism? That kind of thing is important, we can’t just toss empiricism out the window.

I have to mute these videos. Bitch, you make youtube videos. You are? not a fucking guru. I try to come to vids like these to relax after studying the immune system, I don’t need to hear your half-assed understanding of it.

Love these videos! I agree that western medicine does indeed need to change. We need to go to more preventative measures than simply managing diseases. Yes this may? just be a massage, but for many people this could relieve incredible amounts of stress and help manage it. It has been scientifically proven stress takes a toll on your health, increased blood pressure, lowers immune system etc. Perhaps managing our stress could eliminate many diseases… And lose some weight america!

She says “Uh…” and “Um..” too much. Athena seems like she a fine knowledge of the human anatomy, but she seems like she has trouble articulating what she does. I? get the feeling she’s an avid marijuana smoker.

Athena is just sharing a very basic stream-of-consciousness view that? the majority of western people don’t take very good care of themselves, and that we remain willfully ignorant of ways we can make ourselves feel better every day. She’s not even saying anything crazy; just to “eat healthy food, enjoy indulgences in moderation, exercise and invest in the kind of self-care you might deny yourself because you think you don’t have the resources”. Not preachy, just good advice.

She’s just freely speaking on the way we’ve become disconnected from caring for ourselves, and she’s not even that “out there”! So few of us do what she? says and we’d be wiser to. Love you Athena, keep educating us.

@TheGregEgg Who is changing them? What is wrong with educating them so they can make informed choices? I do not have the power to change anyone, and I know it is not my responsibility. The choice is entirely their path to walk, ? and the consequences or blessings will meet them along the way.

@cameltryde Golf…Twisting happens in that sport. There is a torsion action? from the foot/hip/back and into the shoulder. The ‘grissel’ is perhaps caused from the repetitive motion over time where the fascia has twisted in several directions. It may be a tendon that has tightened, if it is at the origin or insertion it could be lactic acid that has been ‘walled off’.. It is difficult to say for sure without me looking at other structural patterns in your posture. Email me if more ???’s.

@TheGregEgg If that is the way you hear things, perhaps some introspection is a good idea. As for the comment above…. if you haven’t been under my hands, you really can’t judge by watching. Experience is the way? out of ignorance. Listening is the key to understanding.
