Pain is a loud, clear signal that your body needs attention and help. There IS an answer to most pain problems. Muskuloskelatal pain and injury is the second most common reason for seeking medical care. These injuries are becoming more and more common from postural mal-alignment related to hours spent on the computer and commuting, not to mention the ever popular injuries from sports, gardening, exercise or the lack thereof, and traumatic accidents. Reportedly, 56% of all occupational injuries in the United States fall under the category of Cumulative Trauma Disorders. There is a large group of conditions that fall under the definition of minor muskuloskeletal injuries (those the do not require surgery) that are greatly improved with the use of advanced massage therapy. However, most of these minor injuries to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia are commonly overlooked, with emphasis in medical school curriculum skewed toward helping the major muskuloskeletal injuries only. Success lies in correctly assessing each person's individual situation then tailoring the massage treatments based off of known pain patterns and postural or structural stesses. When these injuries are overlooked, a person commonly will feel confused, like they are at the end of their rope, or that their pain is "all in their head".
You may have already tried massage therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic, pharmaceuticals or even surgery. Maybe the treatment helped a little, or not at all. When a pain pattern is treated with a general "routine" you may only experience general improvements. However, when each individual is looked at from their unique position and posture, then tailoring the massage sessions to meet those individual needs, great improvements may be seen. Coupled with take home tips and suggestions, you will feel empowered to continue on your path to health and healing.
