I saw a regular client of mine yesterday. This client is a very hard worker that has undergone several surgeries. When the original pain returned and some post surgery pain, he sought non surgical help. I am by no means saying that surgery isn't nessary in some circumstances, but feel it should be a last resort, because of the trauma it causes to the body, scar tissue and myofascial issues, not to mention the pills, all the pain pills, which also have their place but can be very addictive (keep reading). Since beginning treatment his pain is manageable between sessions, his range of motion has increased, and I guess you will just have to take my word for it but his tissue is beginning to feel healthy! What concerned me was a conversation I had with him, which I have heard from others before. Since seeing such great results with massage therapy he suggested trying massage to a friend who is in a great deal of pain, the result, wait for it..... "Im worried I will get addicted to it". This is unsettling in many ways to me and even more so that I have heard it on several occasions. First you can't get addicted to massage. I know that is just a poor choice of wording but it seems odd to me that someone would be concerned they would become "addicted" to something all natural that would help manage pain, feel better and be their best. Well sign me up! ***disclaimer*** massage has no addicting properties other than endorphin release, natural detox, pain relief, increase in range of motion and all that good stuff.... I could go on. Massage is one of the oldest forms of treatment for dis-ease, much older than our still young western medicine of pills laced with side effects, addictive properties and surgical offices with long wait lists. So to be worried that you will become addicted I don't feel is the real reason for not trying massage. I'm not sure if it is the awkwardness of that first strange massage, trust me it dosnt last. Or maybe its the financial aspect, myself and other therapists offer 30 minute focus massages try a few sessions to see if it helps? If it isn't for you well at least you tried, go you for trying new things! This may not speak to you but if it helps at least one person battling life altering pain, or just that one with the annoying headache that never goes away, it will be worth this very heafty post. Even if I'm not the therapist of your choice just choose someone who cares for your wellbeing and is educated on the tissues and functions. Be blessed.

With love
