Review: RELXBIT Mini Percussion Massage Gun
I have always loved tiny things, like tiny homes. When I was contacted about trying out a mini percussion massage gun by Relxbit, I was excited to give it a try.
Why? Percussion massage guns are big, loud, and intense. Now, that does not mean that I do not like them, because I do. A lot. They provide deep, percussion massage like no other massage tool I have seen in my twenty-plus years as a licensed massage therapist. They truly are a game-changer in the massage industry.

This is a great podcast from a pain researcher and an exercise physiologist so you can better understand central sensitization and pain. Great stuff!
“Central Sensitization And Pain” – Ben Cormack & Melissa Farmer
You know if there’s something regarding exercise and pain, we’re going to share it. This one I really like as it focuses not so much on a specific exercise, but physical activity, and the person in front of you.
Fast, cheap COVID testing
Buck-a-day home tests for COVID already exist and would be extremely useful — like “save the world” kind of useful. With truly cheap testing, almost everyone could check themselves every morning before going out to be around other people. Within weeks, most of the infected could know that they are a danger before they are one… and the virus starts to suffocate.
This is how you open the bars, schools, and theatres without a vaccine.
The myth of feminine fragility
Nothing in life is perfectly safe, but lifting heavy things (bodybuilding, powerlifting) is much safer than most people assume (especially if you exclude the kooks who egregiously overdo it). The idea that women who lift suffer more pelvic organ prolapse is likely just sexist hand-wringing and fear-mongering about how delicate women are. A new study by Forner et al. shows that women “do not have an increased prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse symptoms.

Are You All About The Exercise Or The Person Doing It? Making Movement Meaningful
This is the first in the series of a few mini/microblogs of about 500 words (famous last words) and in this first one I wanted to kick off by talking about making movement and exercise meaningful.
This is a term that is being bandied about more and more in rehab but still has the feel of a buzzword rather than something well defined.
So what the hell does it mean……..
Firstly lets separate the idea of meaningful from what many describe as ‘functional’.
