Throbbing pain. Vice-like pinching. Pressure. Tension. There are many ways to describe a headache and recent research has shown headaches to be more than just a mere annoyance. Headaches are, well, a major headache for the United States where 157 million workdays – accounting for almost $13 billion!! – are lost each year due to missed work caused by headaches. Fortunately, recent research has also shown that regular massage therapy can help ease the intensity, duration, and number of tension-type headaches, a pain that 78 percent of American will experience in their lifetime.

The effectiveness of massage for preventing and lessening the pain caused by headaches is another reason why people should use massage to improve their health and quality of life. But this research could turn out to be a Godsend for those who don’t just suffer from infrequent headaches, but, instead, chronic tension-type headaches.

Alternative health in its simplest form is natural healing.
Using nature’s resources to cure the ills and diseases
that plague our society. Relieving pain without using toxic
drugs is the best result when one chooses alternative health
solutions. Alternative health may be answer to the problem of increased
medical costs.

Dr. Pelzer, in his book ‘The Health Revolution states

“Approximately one seventh of the U.S. economy, about $1.5 trillion,
is devoted to what is erroneously called the ‘healthcare’ business.
Healthcare is a misnomer, as this one seventh of the economy is really
devoted to the sickness business – defined in the dictionary as ‘ill
health, illness, a disordered, weakened, or unsound condition, or a
specific disease.’

Changing our health when we change our choices is the first step to
achieving optimum health. Some alternative health techniques include
massage, acupuncture, nutrition, therapy, aromatherapy and stress
management. Continue reading ‘Alternative Health Solutions In Its Simplest Form Is Natural Healing’ »

Cancer

As I have embarked on this journey treating patients with various conditions I always stayed away from treating patients with cancer. In fact, in massage therapy school we were specifically taught, “Do not treat patients with Cancer”. Up until about a year ago I treated this phrase like Holy Grail, until I encountered a few patients who I wanted to help but couldn’t. Accidentally looking for a kinesthetic class I stumbled upon an oncology massage certification. Was this fait I asked myself?

I immediately committed to the class and this is truly where the magic began. Not only did I learn that manual therapy could not spread the cancerous tumors it also reiterated the benefits of massage. Touch heals everyone. It may not cure, but it reconnects the person with self and as I learned that weekend I did not have the power to spread cancerous cells. Continue reading ‘Cancer & Massage’ »
