Medical Massage
I used to think that Massage was about “back rubs.”
Massage can be used to revert a broad number of conditions to an asymptomatic (pain free) state. Though each situation is unique, Medical Massage can usually do great things for the following:
carpal tunnel syndrome
tension headaches
some normal headaches
certain migraines (especially those centered around or behind the eyes)
unresolved whiplash
body pain. (back pain, neck pain, elbow pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, foot pain, belly pain, hip pain, finger pain, groin pain, whatever-else pain)
IT bands
osteoarthritis (I can’t repair the damage done, but I can reduce further damage as well as pain symptoms)
TMJ (jaw pain/jaw grinding/jaw clenching)
tennis elbow, golf elbow
Thoracic outlet syndrome (shooting pain/tingling/numbness down the arms)
hunched shoulders, forward shoulders
breathing, certain pains associated with inhaling
short leg
”my back is so tight my chiropractor has to try 2-4 times to get an adjustment”
crooked hips
Plantar fasciitis
- most ‘old’ injuries
- the doctor showed me an xray and said ‘There is nothing wrong’ pain
- shaky leg
sciatica
tightness
high foot arches (most always)
low foot arches/fallen arches/clubbed foot (these are commonly misdiagnosed)
shin splints
foot/ankle cramps
frozen toe, jammed toe (sometimes)
