Episode 16 - From Nervousness to Passion: Journey into MFR by Christy Seip

Friday, May 24, 2024 • Duration 01:05:45

In this episode of the podcast, we have a fascinating conversation between two myofascial release (MFR) practitioners, Unu and Christy Seip. Christy, a physical therapist with 24 years of experience, shares her journey into the world of MFR and the profound impact it has had on her life. Christy's background with horses plays a significant role in her MFR practice. Growing up around horses, she developed a comfort and skill in working with them. This early exposure and experience with horses became evident during her equine MFR course with Tamara Thomas in Sedona. Christy's journey into MFR began during physical therapy school, but it was limited exposure. However, her real introduction to MFR came when she became the home health physical therapist for John Barnes, the founder of the MFR approach.

Initially nervous and hesitant about treating John, Christy's experience with him was transformative. John guided her through an unwinding experience that had a profound impact on her, leading her to immediately sign up for MFR courses. Deeply unhappy working for a corporate home health company, Christy made the leap to start her own private MFR practice. Starting small, she set up a treatment room in her home and gradually transitioned away from home health work as her MFR practice grew through word-of-mouth referrals. One of the key lessons Christy learned from treating John Barnes was the importance of centering and grounding herself before treating clients. She also gained a deeper appreciation for the spiritual and energetic aspects of MFR, which she had not fully experienced before. MFR has had a transformative effect on Christy personally as well. It has helped her become more accepting of herself, leading to greater acceptance and support for her daughters. She has also learned to trust her intuition and follow her heart, rather than being paralyzed by fear or overthinking.

Christy's advice to others is to trust their intuition and follow their hearts, even if it means taking a leap of faith. She emphasizes that things always work out and there are no wrong decisions as long as you stay true to yourself. Overall, this episode highlights Christy's inspiring journey from a burnt-out home health therapist to a thriving MFR practitioner. It showcases the profound personal and professional transformations she has experienced through her discovery and embrace of the MFR approach. In this engaging podcast episode, join hosts Unu and Christy Seip as they delve into the world of myofascial release (MFR) therapy. Christy, a seasoned physical therapist with 24 years of experience, shares her personal journey and the transformative impact MFR has had on her life. The episode begins with an introduction to Christy, who not only brings her professional expertise but also her passion for climbing and love for being a mother of two girls.
