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.
After experiencing sciatic pain on the left side, I had surgery to solve the problem. Shortly thereafter, I began to have sciatic pain down the other side. I assumed that surgery was necessary again. After beginning the (ALT-MED) program and doing the exercises for a couple of months, the pain was gone. I have been pain free for over six months.
