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.

    Treatment by a qualified Registered Massage Therapist is a greatly successful tool to help decrease the overall amount of discomfort throughout a pregnancy. Shifting of the joints, ligaments, and soft tissue during your pregnancy can cause intense local pain, referral pain, and can aggravate pre-existing conditions. The manual manipulation of the areas can help with immediate relief! We address the immediate symptomatic areas while taking the necessary precautions that are specific to treating pregnancy (inducing labour is not listed as a precaution when it comes to pre-natal massage therapy; we place the patient in the position she is most comfortable in, but if there is no preference then positioning her on the left side is the safest to avoid compression of the iliac artery. It is important to tell your RMT if you has gestational diabetes or high blood pressure due to the pregnancy). In addition to the one on one treatment, I think it's important to teach moms about self massage to the breasts and/or belly, home care, as well as activities in their area that they would benefit from. Massage has been used to help decrease overall stress levels, but I would recommend incorporating yoga into a mom's treatment plan. My last patient was a healthy mom of two and pregnant with her third. I treated her all the way into her last trimester (our last appointment was actually the day before she had her healthy baby boy!). Our treatments helped her chronic symptoms of her ribs and sacrum coming out of alignment, but what she said really helped with the overall discomfort and stress was her daily yoga practice. I'm always very honoured to be treating a pregnant mamma! I grew up as the oldest of seven siblings, so I've seen my fair share of big bellies :). There's a tremendous amount of benefit when massage therapy is incorporated as apart of the pregnancy plan and should be taken full advantage of! It's a great feeling to be able to provide such immediate and sustainable relief- carrying a baby is hard work, to say the least, and to get to make it easier on the mom is extremely rewarding! It's a win, win :)
