Cassandra Kong, Massage Therapist, Toronto, ON

I am originally from Vancouver, BC. I moved to Toronto in 2014 to pursue my passion in the health care field. I graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy with honours and am registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. On top of being a practitioner, I enjoy helping other practitioners grow and hit their personal and professional goals. As a clinic owner, I wear many different hats and I enjoy all the different experiences and challenges I face everyday. One can’t grow and succeed without challenges in life. I embrace all of them! When I can get a long weekend off, I like to go camping and do nature things. I like trying different foods, traveling and experience different cultures. Some of my other hobbies include dancing (bachata, kizomba) and doing some acro-yoga for fun! Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why? I enjoy all different cases, especially the upper back, neck and shoulders. I find a lot of people store their stress in these areas, which cause tension and discomfort. I like to work with the deep muscles, tending to those trouble spots to relieve tension. Decreasing stress and tension in these areas make a big difference in people’s attitude. I love to see the expression on my patient’s face after their treatment! What are the top 3 treatments that you specialize in? I specialize in Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, and Deep Tissue Massage. The myofascial release helps with loosening the connective tissue underlying the skin, muscles, and organs, making the muscle easier to work with and decrease pain. Trigger point therapy helps with decreasing pain and increasing mobility of the muscle. The benefit of deep tissue massage helps release muscle tension and stiffness. What are you proud of in your practice? I take pride in figuring out the root cause of the patient’s problematic areas and alleviating their pain and discomfort. My treatments are clinical focussed – I like to create change in people and bring them to recovery, feeling healthier, happier and stronger. Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area? I love bringing great energy to my sessions and working together with my patients to form their treatment plan. I believe that understanding the root cause of the problem is important for preventative care as well as our treatment direction. I work towards bringing you back to doing the things you love, pain-free.

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.
