Avatar m tn If you just have episodic periods of stress, though, not a major problem, then yes, but there are a lot of types of massage and again, some are more relaxing than others. Some are quite painful while you're doing them, but they hopefully help with pain control so you try them. Don't think research is kind to it truly fixing anything. So if you want to do it to relieve stress, look for gentle types of massage that do that. Peace.
181575 tn?1250198786 Non circulatory massage welcome and very supportive during a long recuperation. There are many types of Non circulatory massage out there that feel absolutely wonderful. Most massage therapist are trained to learn non-circulatory massage or have taken continuing education classes (which are mandatory every 2 years in Oregon). So, as far as privacy issue goes, there are so many laws we massage therapy people learn that protect the client's confidentiality.
Avatar f tn This message is for the people who: have been to their doc and they just keep giving you pain pills and scratching their heads; you've been to multiple people( neurologists, orthopedists, family physician, etc., etc,, etc..) and they don't find anything significant; you've had multiple tests (MRIs, cat scans, nerve conduction tests, etc.. and they pretty much come up clear OR your doctor has told you OR made you feel that THIS STUFF IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD! You're CRAZY.

Avatar n tn Hello, Sun spots or lentigines, are harmless, flat, brown discolorations of the skin which usually occur on the back of the hands, neck and face of people older than 40 years of age. They are caused by the skin being exposed to the sun over many years and are a sigh of sun damage. The only way to prevent age spots is to use liberal amounts of sunscreen before the age of forty, avoid the sun, and wear protective clothing.
Avatar f tn However, to get some sort of confirmation, I would like your opinion on these types of therapy. I have passed the age of sexual activity and I am a widower. So my interest in sexual literature is purely academic and I share what I think cab help someone.
Avatar f tn Over several months Iwe did traction, (which helped aLOT), and my PT would massage the small muscles that were causing such major pain. We did different types exercises, specifically to loosen and relax these muscles. It took some work, but not too much time before the headaches slowly subsided, along with the pain in my neck and and upper back. Something for you to consider, and no matter what I hope you get those migraines under control. They will ruin your day. Well wishes to you..
Avatar f tn Your walking incorrectly as the bodies way to protect your injured foot has possibly put you in the cycle of muscular imbalance. Physical therapy can help you regain strength, BUT what many PT's and Drs fail to address is possible muscle knots that will intervene with the healing and strengthening process - thus the pain continues.
1278538 tn?1271141407 Look for a spa that has a program of several hours, which generally includes one or two types of sauna and two types of massage. Accupuncture is also helpful. Taking a vacation and taking up yoga and meditation also helps. I personally am an advocate of exercise, such as swimming or biking, or a work-out at a gym. You might consider changing jobs to one that is less stressful and more satisfying, if that is practicable.
Avatar f tn I never had an MRI, or CT scan, but being a License Massage Therapist, I know a little bit about these types of injuries. I can no longer work, let alone perform any light duties with that arm or shoulder. I was once very active and ran marathons. I am sad, depressed, and I don't know where to turn. Is there a physician out there who will take me pro bono?
425312 tn?1279966179 massage releases tons of toxins..get a deep one..you have to drink tons of water afterwards to flush them out or you will be sore from it..it is true...
Avatar f tn Both are fine. Make sure when your making the apt that they know your prego. But your fine doing either. I get massages as often as I can. Most massage therapists are trained in prenanatal massage. The real difference is they just don't use a lot of pressure.
Avatar m tn i doubt any amount of therapy will ever rid him of his fascination w/ heels but maybe having them at home on his wife is a start then, like kittycat7 said, if he continues to keep this from his mate, it would be hurtful and damaging and his wife would probably think as im beginning to, that he's just WILLFULLY SEEKING his thrill and pleasure elsewhere
Avatar f tn s and a full hysterectomy, nobody knows why she had this exactly, other than she had server backache, but the fact she had radition therapy suggest she must have had some kind of pelvic cancer. Although she did live until she was 82, but no one knows what the radiation therapy was for. So this concerns me also. Hope someone has some advice.
Avatar m tn I am not normally this rattled, probably the biggest event in my life, I know crazy, but it would mean divorce and loss of my family, loss of my health (if it were hiv) and loss of my way of life. So maybe that is what my body is responding to. But at first I was not this rattled, I truly was just concerned about the basic stds which I thought I handled with the antibiotics and avoiding sex with my LT partner.
Avatar n tn Anyway, I have been feeling pretty bad since that massage... I know the reiki therapy is supposed to relax you... what do you guys think? Im trying to do anything that might relieve some stress and pain. If you read my other post I have bulging disks in c5.6 & 7 and i have a 7-8 mm chiari 1 malformation. Anyone's comments or opinions on this would be appreciated. He also wanted to try craniosacral therapy, has anyone had any success with that?
Avatar m tn Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses laser energy to heat the skin's deeper layers. This heating effect is thought to stimulate collagen production and promote fat cell metabolism, which can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite. While laser therapy is often marketed as a cellulite treatment, its effectiveness for this purpose is not well-established.
Avatar m tn I have not understood your question . HOwever, I may suggest 4 types of prostate massage. There or four are external massage. Google external prostate massage.This is good for the health of prostate and sexual activity. I know it is not the answer you are seeking.

897648 tn?1241801939 What kind of physical Therapy can I do to help my golden with hind leg atrophy. She does have hip dysplasia, was diagnosed at 2. So she actually has done extremely well with Homeopathic Product. I have started the Rimadyl a few months ago. Thank you.
Avatar f tn You have several options depending on how you want to treat your pain including letting the Dr prescribe medications and therapies such a massage therapy and there are several diets that are aimed just for people suffering from fibro. It really depends on how you would like to be treated, medically or holistically( natural medicine).
Avatar f tn They even have a heated salt water pool and in our neck of the woods that is virtually unheard of (kind of tells you about how out-of-it our neck of the woods is) lol mandi
Avatar f tn The practice focuses on injections, physical therapies, massage, electrode therapy, etc. I was able to get a couple pressure point injections on the left side of my upper back and it felt much better than my right side throughout the day. As a result, the doctor suggested botox injections for my pressure points because the other injection worked well. Now, to my point - has anyone had the botox injections? If so, please share your experiences.
