How to Fold a Fitted Sheet

Have a ‘sheety’ Valentine’s Day!

Today is Valentine’s Day, otherwise known to most as a #greetingcardholiday.  As I walked out of CVS this morning, I laughed at the people who were fighting for position in the greeting card aisle.  Valentine’s Day is about showing love for someone in your life, not elbowing strangers while cursing the loved ones you are asking to “Be Mine”.

🦸‍♂️ HERE I COME TO SAVE YOUR DAY! 🦸‍♂️

Yup, that’s right. My true identity is #FittedSheetMan #nocape.

At the risk of folding everyone’s sheets in Boston for the past 20 years, I had chosen to hide my coveted skill to fold a fitted sheet perfectly square, until now. Last Thursday, local affiliate, WCVB Boston aired my #superpower on their award-winning program, Chronicle.

Now that I have been found out, I must come clean and use this superpower for ‘Love’, not just ‘Good’.  Even with host @ShaynaSeymour getting my name wrong (she was likely just trying to protect my true identity ;-)), my social feeds and email have blown up with family, friends and even strangers sending me thank you notes and pictures of their newly folded fitted sheets.

So, if you are looking for a unique and original way to sweep your loved one off their feet, why not take a look at this clip from the show and see if you can do what once may have seemed to be harder than saying “I love you”.

Cards are nice.  Flowers die. Chocolates….well, those are always perfect.  However, folding the fitted sheets and keeping order in the linen closet can not only save marriages, but even this Valentines Day!!! 💖

Shin Splints or Compartment Syndrome?

One of the most common overuse injuries affecting the lower extremity is the condition known as shin splints.

An Alternative Approach to Stretching

Clinicians, athletes and rehabilitation specialists advocate stretching as a means for injury prevention and treatment.

Ganglion Cysts

The highly refined palpation skills of massage practitioners are such that we often identify tissue abnormalities before the client is aware of them. An indication that we should refer a patient for further evaluation is when we identify something we aren’t sure of but know shouldn’t normally be there. One such example may occur with…

What Is the “End Feel”?

Some of the most valuable assessment information is derived from relatively simple procedures such as passive range-of-motion tests. While many massage practitioners have been exposed to the fundamental concepts of active and passive range-of-motion testing, most have not learned how to use this information effectively in a clinical environment. In this article, we will focus…

How Accurate Is That Test?

Physical assessment is considered one of the most accurate ways to assess function of the locomotor tissues of the body. While we can often gain valuable information about structural problems through high-tech diagnostic procedures like X-ray or MRI, these procedures tell us very little about the function of the tissues involved in creating and limiting…
