Think \u2018massage\u2019<\/em> and the first thought may be one of an enjoyable, relaxing hour of kneading and rolling in a lemongrass scented, candlelit room.<\/p>\n

Emile Dumont of The Posture Lab does something a little different.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His repertoire of services includes deep tissue massages, but the only similarity a deep tissue massage bears to the usual salon massage is that it leaves one feeling lighter and relaxed at the session\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, when Emile works his masterful strokes with deep, unyielding pressure, clients are known to scream out in pain.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Source<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t hold back,\u201d Emile says with a grin. \u201cI believe in getting results.\u201d<\/p>\n

And as the stream of returning customers proves: Emile\u2019s work is effective.<\/p>\n

So, what makes the pain worth it? Why do customers come back week after week to receive torture at the hands of Emile?<\/p>\n

Curious, I headed down to The Posture Lab with Ben, who I knew to be experiencing hip pains and issues with hip mobility.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Source<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Flexing and rotating Ben\u2019s legs around, Emile commented, \u201cImpingement on hip flexor…feels like there\u2019s a knot\u2026glutes are tight\u2026 Have you sprained your ankle before?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ben nodded. \u201cHow did you know?!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBy the sound of the ankle as I turn it around,\u201d Emile replied nonchalantly.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, colour me impressed.<\/p>\n

Emile started the 5-in-1 therapy session with a little stretching before moving into the trigger point therapy segment, which saw Emile putting pressure upon a specific point on the hip.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nerve point,\u201d he explained. \u201cThis helps relax out the rest of the muscle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"the

“Friendly,” he says.<\/p><\/div>\n

From one end of the table, grunting ensued; from the other end, Emile, with a smile that rivalled that of a Cheshire cat\u2019s, chuckles: \u201cThis is only 30%, I\u2019m still being quite friendly!\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked to rate the pain on a scale of 1 to 10, Ben provides unhesitatingly: \u201c10.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he grits his teeth, and the session carries on. As Emile remarked earlier:<\/p>\n

\u201cI tell my MMA customers of this whenever they come in for a session \u2013 there are no tap-outs once you\u2019re on the table.\u201d <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Indeed, as the old saying goes – no pain, no gain.<\/p>\n

Other than martial artists, Emile\u2019s clients include dancers, yogis, gym rats, and more. They come, mainly, to be treated – Emile gives the example of a client that came in with a rotational issue with his shoulder.<\/p>\n

2 months and 8 sessions later, and he was back lifting heavy weights at the gym.<\/p>\n

After finishing up on Ben\u2019s right side of the body, Emile pulls up Ben\u2019s legs, rotating them towards each other. There\u2019s a definite improvement: Ben\u2019s right leg visibly shows a greater range of motion as compared to the left (untreated) leg.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s not so stiff anymore \u2013 my right side definitely feels looser.\u201d Ben proclaims.<\/p>\n

\"the

Visible improvement in one’s range of motion – score!<\/p><\/div>\n

In addition to delivering treatment, Emile aims to highlight the importance of postural education and awareness. In today\u2019s commercialized, aesthetically-driven fitness industry, people tend to forego proper form and technique.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo for a boxing class \u2013 do they teach you how to protect the wrists? A yoga class \u2013 do you force yourself into certain poses, not knowing what you are actually stretching? The spinning movement that took off recently \u2013 did you jump straight into high-intensity exercise without prior training?\u201d<\/p>\n

“We may be getting ourselves increasingly prone to injury and we don\u2019t even know it.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Upon receiving treatment at the hands of Emile, clients are able to see immediate results, increased mobility, and improved performance at their respective sporting activities.<\/p>\n

But getting to know how their muscles work and how their bodies function allows them – more importantly – to be better able at taking care of themselves in the long run.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the best piece of advice you can give to anyone?”<\/p>\n

\u201cStretch. Stretch every day. But if you don\u2019t know how to stretch properly, please ask someone else who knows, or you may just be getting yourself injured.\u201d<\/p>\n

If ever you need an excellent coach, with a background in Exercise and\u00a0Sports Science and multiple testimonials to boot – you know where to look.<\/p>\n
