  • Ep 603 – The Omnivore's Dilemma of Bodywork: "The Rebel MT" with Allison Denney

    Ep 603 – The Omnivore's Dilemma of Bodywork: "The Rebel MT" with Allison Denney
    Nov 3 2026
    With so many massage modalities to choose from, new therapists face their own version of the omnivore's dilemma: too many options and plenty of marketing telling them what to pick. Much like navigating the nut butter aisle at the grocery store, finding the right fit can be overwhelming. Allison breaks down what different modalities claim to do and offers guidance on finding the work that's right for you. Host Bio:         Contact Allison Denney: rebelmt@abmp.com            Allison's website: www.rebelmassage.com                    Allison Denney is a certified massage therapist and certified YouTuber. You can find her massage tutorials at YouTube.com/RebelMassage. She is also passionate about creating products that are kind, simple, and productive for therapists to use in their practices. Her products, along with access to her blog and CE opportunities, can be found at rebelmassage.com.        About our Sponsors: Rebel Massage Therapist: My name is Allison. And I am not your typical massage therapist. After 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, I have learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa. I see soft tissue as more than merely a physical element but a deeply complex, neurologically driven part of who you are. I use this knowledge to work WITH you—not ON you—to create change that works. This is the basis of my approach. As a massage therapist, I have worked in almost every capacity, including massage clinics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractor offices, spas, private practice, and teaching. I have learned incredible techniques and strategies from each of my experiences. In my 20 years as a massage therapist, I have never stopped growing. I currently have a private practice based out of Long Beach, California, where I also teach continuing education classes and occasionally work on my kids.
