Massage Therapy
A licensed massage therapist is well trained and nationally certified. Rachael received her training in massage therapy at the Wellness and Massage Training Institute and has worked at ALT-MED for over fifteen years.
The goal of massage therapy is to reduce pain, inflammation and stress as well as increase range of motion. Medical research has shown that massage therapy is effective for reducing acute and chronic pain. It is also beneficial for a number of stress-related medical conditions. Massage therapy works best in conjunction with physical therapy and/or acupuncture.
If I had not entered in this back pain program, I told for sure that I would have to have had back surgery for my three herniated disc's. I have talk to a few coworkers... They had back surgery and I cannot believe the shape they're in... Some are never going to be the same. Some had less severe problems than me and are now on permanent disability. I feel the 99.5% back to normal before the accident.
