The Great 8×8 Debate

The big problem that I have with the 8×8 recommendation is that it is WAY to general of a guideline to cover everyone. This guideline is supposed to work for the 125lb person as well as the 250lb person. That just doesn’t make sense. We talked about this a bit when I was in massage [...]
