A new client calls for a manual lymph drainage session, and they have a diagnosis the massage therapist has never heard of—toxic mold syndrome.

A client with a serious circulatory problem—a failed femoral-popliteal bypass, or "fem-pop" surgery—wants a massage while he's waiting for his next procedure. There's no data on massage and failed fem-pops at all. What can this massage therapist do? In this episode, we look at fem-pop surgeries and the reasons why a person might need it. Then, we take apart some of the variables that go into making decisions about massage therapy for this client. It's a critical-thinking exercise with immediate repercussions for this client and his health and comfort.

Being a client makes you a better therapist. Besides the obvious self-care benefits, it heightens your awareness of good bodywork and the specifics that make or break a session. Listen as Cindy Williams puts on her professional educator hat and details moments from a challenging bodywork session where she was the client and her suggestions for improvement. Cindy has spent the last 20 years in private practice, and as a school instructor, administrator, curriculum developer, and mentor. In 2010, she joined the ABMP Education Team as a school liaison, then continued her work as a content writer and facilitator for ABMP's Instructors on the Front Lines program. She currently works as a freelance educational content writer. Combining her training in massage and polarity therapies with her extensive background as a yoga practitioner and instructor, she loves teaching how the body operates holistically and how each component of the individual must be addressed in order to create change. Cindy also writes the Back to Basics column for Massage & Bodywork magazine.

A contributor has an unusual question: how soon can I work with someone who recently donated a kidney? We have lots of information about massage therapy for people on dialysis, and known cautions for transplant recipients, but we don't know much about how to help living donors. In this episode, we take a look at what it's like to give up a kidney and what kinds of accommodations for massage that requires.
