What's Your Scope: What Massage Therapists Offer
Respect What We Offer:
-Massage therapists are and will be increasingly necessary in the health care field:
-We manually manipulate soft tissue in trained ways to increase circulation
-We stimulate metabolism and the production of endorphins in response to “good pain”
-We can help prepare athletes for competition
-We move and direct Lymph
-We can manipulate deeper level connective tissue
-We can help stretch broad level connective tissue
-We can facilitate positive diaphragmatic breathing (Neuromuscular Release techniques)
-We can guide and direct healing imagery to enhance pain thresholds
-We can use our developed skills to assess a body from a torsion perspective,
-Although bodywork often “feels good” its not just about the feel good; it should be about the efficacy of goal achievement in relationship to the stated plan of care. -Qualified and skilled personal touch in these areas cannot be overrated!
