Self help for lumps

Taum

In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I offer the following information that has proven useful and may help many others.

In 2007, shortly after noted columnist Molly Ivins passed away after losing her battle with breast cancer, I listened to Randi Rhodes' radio talk show while folks that knew Molly celebrated her life with some amazing stories of a gal that thought outside the box. A particular story, the one that really got to me was Molly's famous mooning of the Ku Klux Klan.

I realized I couldn’t just stand on the sidelines and not speak up, not do what’s right. Not when I believed I had something to share from my 35+ years in the field of massage therapy that may save others from a similar fate. Now understand, this was not an easy thing to do, as talking about women’s breasts by a male therapist is a bit out of the scope of my normal conversations. I decided I couldn’t sit by any longer, so during the course of my clinical sessions, when appropriate, I started sharing information pertinent to breast lumps. No, I would not do the procedure, what I would do and continue to do is demonstrate a self help technique for increasing and improving circulation in that area.

A friend that knew of this self help technique and was familiar with the self help videos already on my website, suggested this would be appropriate to share with her friends and asked me to put a video together.

If nothing else, share it with friends.
