MT is a profession with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client through a variety of touch techniques (American Massage Therapy Association Glossary of Terms). MT’s are trained in assessment, treatment planning, application of various massage techniques/modalities, communication/reporting with both patients and members of the health care team (Goldblatt 2009). MT use is widespread in the US, and is increasingly viewed as part of integrative health care. This is due to a rapidly expanding evidence base (Moyer & Dryden 2012, Moyer et al. 2009) and MT’s popularity for treating common health complaints. A 2007 National Institute of Health (NIH) survey of US adults found that MT was the the number one out-of-pocket practitioner-based expense and the second most commonly used practitioner-based CAM therapy -- nearly equalling the volume of chiropractic/osteopathic care (Barnes 2008).

  • Massage for Old Injuries Injuries Such As Chronic Back Pain, Trick Knees, and Sticky Shoulders Are Not Necessarily Something You Just Have to Live with Forever
    Massage for Old Injuries Injuries such as chronic back pain, trick knees, and sticky shoulders are not necessarily something you just have to live with forever. Massage will help, depending on the extent of the injury, how long ago it occurred, and on the skill of the therapist. Chronic and old injuries require deeper and more precise treatments with less emphasis on general relaxation and working on the whole body. Massage is most effective in releasing adhesions and lengthening muscles that have shortened due to compensatory reactions to the injury. Tight and fibrous muscles not only hurt at the muscle or its tendon, but can also interfere with proper joint movement and cause pain far away from the original injury. This work has specialized names and advanced training credentials --such as orthopedic massage, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, medical massage. Our massage therapists at the club, are trained to combine the best of the specialties. A recent Consumer Reports article surveyed of thousands of its readers and reported that massage was equal to chiropractic care in many areas, including back and neck pain. Massage also ranked significantly higher than other forms of treatment, such as physical therapy or drugs. If that nagging injury persists, consider booking a massage with us. Be sure to discuss the injury with your practitioner: How did you receive the injury? Have you reinjured it? And what exactly are your symptoms? Often, the body compensates in one area to protect another that has been traumatized, and this can create new problems. Together we can create a treatment program to help you.

According to acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, a kind of vital energy, is said to flow. There is no generally-accepted anatomical or histological basis for these concepts, and modern acupuncturists tend to view them in functional rather than structural terms, (as a useful metaphor in guiding evaluation and care of patients). Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world. Bowen Technique The Bowen Technique is one version of a group of technical interpretations of the work of Australian osteopath Tom Bowen (1916–1982) known as Bowen Therapy, which is a holistic system of healing.
