Bulletproofing Your Clients Knees and Lower Back on Mike Roberts

Bulletproofing a client’s knee and lower back pain can be extremely debilitating to perform even the most basic tasks. Standing for long periods, climbing stairs, or bending over can all become uncomfortable or even painful for those with chronic knee or lower back pain.

Fortunately, massage therapy can help relieve much of the stress on these joints and assist in healing them faster. If you have either knee or lower back pain then several different types of massage can assist you in recovering from your injuries and getting back to normal activities more quickly.

How to Bulletproof Your Client’s Knees and Lower Back

Your client may be sitting with proper posture, but that doesn’t mean they’re not vulnerable to knee and lower back pain. Though sitting with proper posture is important, it’s also important for your client to have some knee and lower back support. Knee support may come in the form of a leg pillow, a knee pad, or even a rolled-up towel placed under the knee. A lower back support may come from a rolled-up towel or a lumbar support pillow. While a lumbar support pillow provides the same knee support as a rolled-up towel, it also supports the lower back and helps the client maintain proper posture throughout their workday.

Strategies for a Bulletproof Knee Position

If your client’s knees are caved in, the first thing you should do is assess the rest of the pose. In the case that the rest of the pose requires a knee position that does not involve caving the knees, you do not need to do any knee adjustments. If the rest of the pose is okay, you can use these knee-positioning techniques to help your client avoid caving their knees. If the rest of the pose requires a caved knee, then you will want to bulletproof the knee position before assisting the rest of the pose.

I hope the interview with Mike will give you a better idea of what to expect from the courses.

We will see you there.

If you want more information about Mike Robertson, he will present a 16-hour course/seminar in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in December.

FAQ – Common Questions

Will Mike Robertson be presenting these courses again? No, this is the first and only time he will offer this course. Mike does not do many presentations. He does some short one to two-hour presentations for conferences but does not do full-day seminars. I was lucky enough to sweet-talk him into presenting two full days in Vancouver. I don’t think he has ever-present two full 8-hour days, sharing all his secrets regarding training the knee and lower back.

Will Mike Robertson be coming back to Canada to present again? No, this is his first visit, and he has no plans to return. I had to book Mike a year in advance to have him come up to Vancouver and present. From what I know, Mike’s schedule is nearly complete for 2011.

Can’t I make the course? I would find a way to get to the system. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from one of the excellent rehabilitation and performance trainers out there.

I have purchased Mike’s Bullet Proof Knees book and DVD. Will this be much different from the book?
Here is Mike’s response to the question – As for the presentation, it’s not comparable to the book. The book says, “do this, do this,” etc. This will cover the principles behind the book so that they can develop their programming based on individual clients’ needs. Not even in the same ballpark.

I have never heard of Mike Robertson. What has he done? I got an interview with Mike Robertson for you. Check out the course flyer to see a detailed bio of Mike Robertson. It is impressive. To see him in action, here is a clip from the video presentation that Mike had done for Muscle Imbalances Revealed:
