Pain Management
There are a number of techniques that can be used to manage and control pain which may include any of those mentioned. An assessment at time of treatment will help determine the best path for the individual.
Understanding the role of posture and its relationship with the CNS (central nervous system) stress and pain will help you develop self awareness to your triggers and insights on how to manage your own body. Understanding that trauma does not always create pain symptoms close to the area and that not all symptoms appear at the time of trauma can help you understand and resolve acute ad chronic pain.
Your treatment is based on understanding that all systems of the body are interconnected and affected by trauma, surgeries, accidents, stressors, scars, personal relationships, work and self perception as contributing factors affecting posture, emotions and pain responses.
Well Being
A variety of techniques and modalities can be used to reduce stress, restore function and control and manage symptoms apparent on the day of treatment.
Simply need time out and a place to relax and restore? Or perhaps you are tired of being in discomfort and pain, have seen many therapists and just need to get on top it . Of course you may find on different days you are drawn to different modalities.
You can be assured that your treatment is wholistically based and adjusted according to your personal goals and preferences. Kathryn takes the time to listen and adapt so you fell nurtured.
Relaxation
Relaxation is not simply receiving a relaxation massage. Ever thought about how breathing affects how you feel and how relaxed or not you are? Ever thought that digestive issues, cold hands and feet, anxiety and pain symptoms might be related to breathing? Maybe you never truly get time out for yourself. Or perhaps a constant nagging pain prevents you from relaxing or sleeping well.
Relaxation arrives in more than one form when dealing with the individual and their body. Some clients hate 'butterfly massage"- that very gentle superficial style of massage. For some individuals it means that a gentle massage exacerbates pain symptoms or leaves them frustrated that it didn't change anything. For others it is soothing, comforting, non threatening and deeply relaxing.
