The benefits of holistic manual therapy

WITH AMY SHANTZ

Manual (hands-on) therapy is very helpful for our wellness.

Our hands are one of the areas of our body where we have the most receptors that process sensations. Sometimes our receptors have bad experiences from repetitive or intense sensations and become on alert. This means if we experience that same annoying sensation again, it will send a quicker or more intense message to our brain.

Receptors on alert change how our body responds; some of our muscles adapt and act differently. When a skilled therapist places their hand on an irritated area of our body, it neutralizes the effect.

A thorough assessment and treatment for the whole body and all of its structures and tissues often increases the impact. A registered massage therapist will consider what a client feels and experiences as well as what situations impact their stiffness, pain or weakness.

Sometimes where we feel the pain is not the area that is having the biggest effect. By considering and working with the whole body, including the bones, joints, fluids and the tissues lining our organs, a massage therapist can help restore more balance to the tensions and movement throughout the body.

I have assisted people in accomplishing increased range of motion, less stiffness, less pain, and increased strength and power.

A recent client told me that she can do activities around the house for a much longer time after only one session. Another said that she can lift more weight at the fitness centre, and another said he can now roll over in bed when pain prevented him from doing so before. life
