Brianne Patton, Massage Therapist, Kelowna, BC

Brianne Patton (She/Her/Hers) Brianne’s first experience with massage therapy occurred while she was in school for kinesiology on an athletic scholarship in the U.S.A. Initially, she was in the habit of getting a quick massage to warm up before events and saw great results from this. As time went on she noticed more and more of her fellow athletes getting massage after events as well. She saw the great effect this had on recovery times, but it wasn’t until she returned to Canada that she really saw the full potential of massage. Here she quickly saw that massage was actually more effective for a lot of conditions than other similar treatment options. After discovering that massage is actually a 3 year, 3000 hour program in BC she was sold. In 2011 she began her schooling to become a Registered Massage Therapist. While in school she discovered Dr. Vodder’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). She saw first hand how this technique was effective for a range of conditions that no other treatment techniques could match in terms of effectiveness. She saw MLD treat women with lymphedema following mastectomies, patients with intensive scarring and athletes with acute injuries. Seeing the difference that MLD could make in a person’s life inspired her to upgrade her training and now she is one of the few therapists in the Central Okanagan able to provide Dr. Vodder’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT), which is compression bandaging. Hobbies Hiking with her dogs, baking sourdough bread, playing the piano and leading an active lifestyle. Education Graduated from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in 2014 Level 3 Dr Vodder’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage 2014 Breast Cancer Rehabilitation training

Registered massage therapists help with whiplash is an injury that you experience, that most people experience, from car accidents. You can also have it from a sports injury.The technical term for whiplash in the medical literature is whiplash associated disorders, or WAD, and that’s what we’re going to refer to it as today. WAD happens when your head is thrown about, usually forward and sometimes backwards and side to side and treatment from a local RMT Registered Massage Therapist .

It can be any other direction but that’s the general idea. And it’s an acceleration, deacceleration injury when the neck structures have to respond to that force that comes into you.The types of symptoms that you might expect after a car accident and a whiplash injury would be anywhere from moderate to no symptoms at all. And the moderate symptoms generally consist of stiffness in the neck, some mild achiness, maybe some mild headache, and you might feel that you’re more sensitive to cold than you normally are.

The more severe symptoms that people might feel are ringing in the ears, dizziness, loss of memory and pain coming down their arms. With whiplash injuries, there are many factors that go into deciding how much pain you’re going to be in.The force of the impact is one, and in some cases – not all cases – people have what they call low velocity injuries, where it’s a slow-moving, low-impact, but the patient experiences a lot of pain afterwards.

And a lot of patients have really bad injuries and have no pain afterwards, and so what’s the difference? The difference is the intangible factors that come into deciding how much pain you have. One of them – or a couple of them – are social factors and often seeing a local RMT Registered Massage Therapist .

So, how your social life, your home life, your work life is going. If you’re experiencing any anxiety and depression at the time. Also, general health will affect how much pain you experience, so the better your health the less impact it’s going to have, the worse your health you’re going to experience more pain.Women also tend to experience more pain after car accidents and whiplash injuries, and it’s generally thought it’s the ligament laxity or the joints are a little bit looser in women, they tend to be more flexible, so when impact comes they move more and tend to be injured more during car accidents.If you have any further questions about whiplash injuries, you can go see your local rehabilitation therapist. Those therapists are either your massage therapist, your physiotherapist or your chiropractor.
