    Dec 27 2023

    Welcome to the place where medicine meets microphone in our latest Holiday episode of Spinal Tap! The podcast that brings funny and informative topics about the world of alternative medicine and wellness care. Presented by Midwest Chiropractic and Wellness! Join Dr. Zach and Dr. Mitch, two incredible chiropractors and best buddies, as they bring you new guests and engaging topics each week. In Episode 11. - Ashiatsu Massage and Bio Hacking - With Guest Stephanie Thaler (LMT). The Docs bring in a good ole friend and fellow healer, Stephanie Thaler - Licensed Massage Therapist. Steph specializes in Ashiatsu Massage and is soon to be the first person licensed in Minnesota to teach Ashiatsu to other therapists interested in learning the style. Ashiatsu is a Japanese word that translates to “foot pressure”. It has its origins in many eastern countries and is thought to be more than 3,000 years old in practice. Steph learned the ropes from the founder of Deep Feet Therapy, Ruthie Piper Hardee. Ruthie brought the style to the U.S. and is known as the Godmother of the movement. Steph has quite a story to share; as a cancer survivor, Guinness World Record Holder and Massage Therapist to the star athletes of our beloved Minnesota professional sports teams, like the MN Wild, Twins and Vikings. Steph has accomplished much in her 23 years of massage practice, but has her sights set on even more! Visit her website to learn about her pursuits and book an appointment (but be aware the waiting list is very long AND WORTH IT!) https://thatashichick.com/about/ Aside from the obvious discussions about the incredible benefits of Massage Therapy and specifically Ashiatsu, the three friends dive into the world of Bio Hacking: From Cold Water Therapy and Sauna to Red Light Therapy and PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy) and more! Even though they drift around in the fascinating world of Bio hacking, they keep bringing it back to feet and stay grounded in the benefits and relationship that Massage Therapy and Chiropractic have together. Steph and the Docs deeply trust one another and refer patients to each other often because they know the power of coupling the two modalities for the benefit of athletes, kids, the elder and just your average Joe needing a tune up. There is no doubt you will learn a lot in this episode and smile the whole time as you watch Steph’s bright personality and optimistic approach to her work light up the studio.
