Aches and Pains? Think Outside the Box

By Mary Wilkerson, CMT

Have you been experiencing aches and pains that haven’t gone away? Are you dealing with problems such as bursitis, torn rotator cuff, back, hip, or knee problems?

Instead of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, maybe it’s time to take a different approach and address the root cause of your problems.

The experience of a board-certified massage therapist trained in injury-rehab techniques and trigger points (as discovered by JFK’s White House physician, Dr. Janet Travell) may be the best option for problem-resolution. A series of high-frequency sessions (2-3 times/week) allows the therapist to better customize your therapy and help determine what may be preventing resolution of your problem.

A necessary component may be for you to cease optional exercise/activities during the series of treatment sessions. Otherwise, the success of treatments may be impaired. If you are tired of dealing with pain and discomfort and are willing to think outside the box, call a board certified massage therapist with injury rehab training and experience.
