Ceux qui me connaissent savent que je ne suis pas un grand fan des mots à la mode, des tendances et des gadgets. Ce n'est pas qu'ils n'ont parfois aucune valeur, mais ce sont des termes trop généraux que nous utilisons à des fins de marketing. Je suppose que cela fait de moi une contradiction ambulante... En 2008, on m'a demandé de développer un atelier "Deep Tissue" et je l'ai enseigné depuis. Il a évolué depuis, avec toutes les années de pratique clinique, d'expérience et de recherche qui s'y sont ajoutées, mais l'étiquette reste la même. Une phrase accrocheuse qui dit aux clients "attache ta tuque, mon ami !". Le fait qu'il y ait tant de choix pour les thérapeutes lorsque vient le temps de choisir un atelier intitulé "Deep Tissue", ou des ateliers sur tout ce qui a trait au "Fascia", peut être déroutant, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire. Je crois fermement, et je l'ai toujours dit, que tout a déjà été fait auparavant. Ce que j'enseigne est le fruit d'années d'expérience pratique basée sur le travail de tant d'autres. C'est l'intention qui sous-tend ce que vous faites et, plus important encore, la raison pour laquelle vous le faites.
Le nom de marque "Deep Tissue" a été, pendant de nombreuses années, une source d'irritation pour moi. Il est vague et ne dit rien de ce que je crois. La marque fait vendre. J'ai récemment mis au point un cours de niveau 2. On m'a convaincu de l'appeler "Deep Tissue 2 Neurofascia ; nerf périphérique du membre supérieur"... Bien qu'il poursuive le travail du niveau 1, il soulève certainement la question "Quoi ?
Tout cela pour dire que j'ai décidé d'aller à l'encontre de mes réserves et de "marquer" ce que je m'efforce d'accomplir dans ma pratique. Je crois qu'il est de notre responsabilité de partager nos années d'expérience avec d'autres, s'il y en a qui souhaitent nous écouter. Le point culminant de plus de 200 heures d'ateliers portant sur la neurofascia, la viscérofascia, les relations d'aide et les stages, qui seront regroupés sous l'appellation "la Méthode Morris" (The Morris Method). Cela me rend évidemment vulnérable au sein de la communauté, mais je resterai fidèle à mes convictions et dissiperai toute confusion quant à l'origine de cette méthode. Ceux qui me connaissent, une fois de plus, se disent probablement : quand tout cela va-t-il se produire ? En 2030 ? Non. Le processus a déjà commencé. Grâce à l'incroyable soutien de Marie-Lyse Anctil et de son école, Massotech, les 3 premiers modules ont été enseignés à plusieurs reprises. Les modules 4 et 5 seront présentés pour la première fois en 2025, suivis de 30 heures de stage pour intégrer les modules dans une approche fonctionnelle. Je suis incroyablement excitée à l'idée de partager avec tout le monde !

Those who know me, know I'm not a big fan of buzz words, trends and gimmicks. Its not that they hold no value at times, they're just overly generalized terms we use for marketing purposes. I guess that makes me a walking contradiction... I was asked in 2008 to develop a "Deep Tissue" workshop and have been teaching it ever since. It has morphed in the years since then, with all the added years of clinical practice, experience and research, but the label remains the same. A catchy phrase that tells clients "attache ta tuque, mon ami!" (That means "hold onto your hat, bud!"). The fact that there are so many choices for therapists when it comes time to choose a workshop entitled "Deep Tissue", or workshops in anything to do with "Fascia", can be confusing to say the least. I strongly believe, and have always said, that it's all been done before. What I teach comes from years of practical experience based on the work of so many others. It's the intention behind what you do and more importantly, why you do it.
The brand name "Deep Tissue" has, for many years, been an irritant to me. It's vague and says nothing about what I believe. The brand sells. I recently developed a level 2 course. I was convinced to name it "Deep Tissue 2 Neurofascia; peripheral nerve of the upper limb"... Although it continues the work from level 1, it certainly bears the question, "What?".
All of this to say, I've decided to go against my reservations and "brand" what it is I strive to accomplish in my practice. It becomes a responsibility, I believe, to share our years of experience with others, should there be those who wish to listen. A culmination of over 200hrs of workshops delving into neurofascia, viscerofascia, helping relations and stage, that will fall under the heading "The Morris Method". It obviously makes me vulnerable within the community, but will hold true to my beliefs and take away any confusion as to where it comes from. Those who know me, once again, are probably thinking; when will this all happen? In the year 2030? Uh no.The process has already begun. With the incredible support of Marie-Lyse Anctil and her school, Massotech, the first 3 modules have been taught several times. Modules 4 and 5 will be presented for the first time in 2025 followed by 30 hours of stage to integrate the modules into a functional approach. I'm so incredibly excited to share with everyone!

Starting the 9th. week of social distancing and business closures… my practice as a Masso-Kinesitherapist has been on hold and its return is in question still. It was not considered in the first wave of businesses allowed to re-open and now even those first businesses have been delayed because of the pandemic situation in Montreal. I am currently in my 22nd year of practice…There have been discussions within the profession, as well as steps that other countries have taken in re-opening practices of Osteopathic, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, and Massage therapy clinics to ensure the safety of both client and therapist. These include; disinfecting common areas within the clinic before and after each client, the spacing of 2 to 3 hours between clients to allow sufficient aeration of the premises. Masks to be worn by both client and therapist, gloves to be worn by the therapist… Clients are not permitted to touch anything and at the end of the day, floors must be washed as well as all common areas once again. The list goes on…

My current location does not lend well to certain requirements. I share the space with 2 Osteopaths. Very difficult to aerate my office, no windows that open, and also to guarantee that all people coming and going in such a small space will respect the new norm. Some people don’t even believe there is a pandemic, and to top it all off, insurance companies will not insure against viral infections…
I have always tried to create a welcoming atmosphere. My office always looked more like a living room. The right lighting, the music that vibrates just right, overall an environment that the client sinks into just walking across the threshold. They sit down and… a heavy sigh… a simple smile, how are YOU and what can I possibly help you with today.
Which brings me back to our current situation… The pandemic is, quite simply, pushing us more quickly in the direction we were already heading. We were becoming socially inept. It’s been bothering me for quite some time. People locked into their electronics, loss of common courtesies, lack of respect for our environments and that list goes on and on… The new norm for my practice will be wearing a mask, gown, gloves, the smell of disinfectant, bins for client's garments… Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand the necessity. It just feels like a contradiction. Not the direction I had in mind. It raises many questions for me…

Another passion affected is my love of teaching. Sharing my passion and experience in the hope that it may help inspire the need for our practice with someone who shares that same passion is important to me. When teaching a room full of people who share the same passions, the energy created by that group is palpable. I miss that. I have a lot of difficulty talking to myself in front of a computer screen, a seemingly new normal if I want to continue teaching. I’m trying… Who knows, maybe this pandemic will globally make us more aware of what we’ve lost and what we stand to lose. Hope springs eternal! On that positive note, I’ll stop my rant… ;)
