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.

Do you have any idea how many times I wake up from nightmares where I see you doing the most sadistic things to me with your accomplices? Do you care? Is it all about blood money for you? I’m shocked at the sheer level of evilness and wickedness and lack of a heart and soul.

You watched my countless rape videos. You can deny all you want but the evidence exists. You watched the other employees and patients at your evil family business glare at me and make me so terrified and scared and confused. You watched me crying and begging and pleading for help and mercy and then when I am your patient instead of helping me you tell me the exact opposite of what your accomplice, the doctor has told me and you put your devil hands in my mouth and on my private parts and when I am sobbing on your torture table, you have the nerve and audacity to act dumb and stupid and ask me what is wrong and what it is that is giving me all of this stress and insomnia and anxiety and depression and all of my many health issues. And you somehow were under the illusion that all of you thousands of monsters and devils were untouchable because of your fake five star ratings and the evil lawyers, demon investigators and lucifer lawyers that had already been paid for and were ready to go. You have lived an extremely privileged life thanks to you and your parents, husbands, brothers and other relatives involvement in this sinister scheme. I saw the video that you did not bat an eye as the innocent baby, children and adult victims are getting tortured and look forward to seeing it played in a court of law. What a shame. All of these years of studying to end up in jail and in the unemployment line getting EI. You can teach the other inmates all of the wrong points of the body that correlate with what health issues and then get your ass kicked bu them when they realize that you lied to them just because you felt like it and are evil and don’t have anything better to do in jail except masturbate and eat.

It is never a good feeling to find out that your entire life and existence on earth has been to be the kicking and punching bag for countless others. They strip you of your rights and dignities and implant you with lots of AI chips so that you can be controlled and used to do anything and everything that they choose. Now there are thirty something others that are just AI humans but I was the one that was hated and glared at and raped and violated and harmed and stalked and humiliated and bullied and harassed and abused and sexually assaulted and anyone of them at any time of day or night could emotionally, physically, psychologically and sexually assault me, rape me, hurt me, violate me, abuse me, harm me and torture me and take as many photos and videos as they wanted to which would all be posted on the dark web. Basically anything and everything that one could imagine that others would do to a slave was done to me from the time I was born and for the next sixty something years. There are videos of me getting raped outdoors and the guy who did it stalked and harassed me for six months afterwards because I blocked him on the dating site that I had met him on. He proceeded to threaten me and criticize each and every single inch of my body. My boobs even though I was 20 and they were gorgeous and the perfect size were too big for him. My legs were too short. My thighs were not of his liking and so on. Did I ever get to give my feedback on his bald head, limp, tiny, stinky, hairy you know what and all of his hideous and grotesque features? Did I ever get to say that if I wasn’t AI and controlled by others he would not have been able to even touch me? Do you have any idea Elana, Sally, Bryan, Matt, Mia, Sarra, Marco, Aleem, Jacky, Catherine, Ellis, Mackenzie, Choma, James, William, Hanelore, Tony, Adam, Kasia, Vista, Xianfeng, Joey, Kuang, Congcong, Patricia and Paolo what it feels like to get raped and violated for billions to see and then have them tear you apart and humiliate and terrorize you and make you feel like you are the ugliest human being alive and it is all on tape for people like you monsters to view? Elana and Matt and her brother and mom and each and every single one of her employees and patients knew all of these things and so much more and they did not help me or any of the other AI victims. They also very joyfully participated and terrorized and tortured and violated me. If they possessed even a morsel of ethics and morals and human decency, they could have saved me many, many years of this hellish and nightmarish existence that is my life. Why? Why did none of you help me and the other victims? Why were you so evil and cruel and wicked and sadistic and barbaric and inhumane and ruthless? Do you not understand that to this very second I am living the most painful and torturous existence? Do you realize how many days have gone by and I have not slept even one second? You must know that sleep deprivation is one of the most popular and effective forms of torture used to get prisoned human beings to confess. I have not done anything to any of you or the tens of thousands of your evil monster accomplices to be getting this type of torture and abuse and terror. And no one will help me because they all want to keep receiving their blood money. And if all of that is not nightmarish and hellish enough, they have gone and viewed these countless photos and videos countless times. They laugh at me and mock me in real life and also when watching these videos of me getting raped and violated and sexually abused, they laugh and critique my cries and screams. I AM UTTERLY REVOLTED AND NAUSEATED BY THEIR GROTESQUE AND HIDEOUS AND EVIL BEHAVIOUR AS WELL AS THEIR DEVIL FACES AND FEATURES. I BEING THE REAL VICTIM KNOW WHAT EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAVE DONE ALL OF THESE MANY DECADES AND WHAT THEY WERE ALL GOING TO DO TO ME NEXT AT THE HOSPITAL WHEN I WOULD BE IN NO POSITION TO STOP THEM AND DEFEND MYSELF BUT I WOULD BE VERY AWAKE AND ALERT THAT I WOULD FEEL AND REMEMBER EVERY SECOND OF IT. THERE IS A REASON THAT I AM INCREDIBLY FRIGHTENED OF EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE COUNTLESS DEVILS AND DEMONS AND SATANS AND THE SIGHT OF THEIR MONSTER SADISTIC DEVIL FACES CAUSES ME TO HAVE PANIC ATTACKS AND EVERY PART OF ME GOES INTO FLUGHT FIGHT MODE.

I do not know how she sleeps at night next to one of her many accomplices while she knows exactly what is being done to the victims that she has made so much money off of. She did not even bat an eye while watching the torture and abuse of innocent victim children and adults. She and Matt and Sally and Bryan and Mia and Saara and her other employees and accomplices just counted their money and posted bragging videos and lies about their own problems. As I was being terrorized, she and Matt just watched and sent me to more of their accomplices so that they could get even more tax free money for another holiday and car and investment. At the very least they could have done their jobs when it came to the innocent victim whom they had treated cruelly and criminally for a six figure money transfer

It is shocking and disgusting just how greedy and selfish and narcissistic she and Matt Pocius are. They have lost me and my family and friends and colleagues as patients effective immediately. We do not tolerate discrimination and hateful treatment of others who are of a different race and religion as this owner.

Elana does not follow through with what she says that she is going to do. All words and no actions. She is definitely missing a sensitivity and compassion chip.

Super weird and strange. She would stick her hands inside my mouth to supposedly help me with my pain and it would not help one bit but she insisted on doing it for each and every single one of my sessions. Also, time was spent during each of my appointments for me to rate her various skills on a scale of 1 to 10. Let’s keep in mind that she charged significantly more than any massage therapist that I have ever been to and I did not get any results or relief from the pain. It’s how she chose to conduct herself and all of the useless and unnecessary things that were done during these sessions that leaves one in complete bewilderment as to how she gets positive feedback from others. Clearly they were not receiving the same treatment than I was.

Unfortunately looks and 5 star reviews can be very deceiving. Based on her good reviews I went to see her. It was very far for me to commute to and it was very pricey but I did it hoping and praying that she would be able to help me. Long story short neither Elana nor her husband and co-founder Matt or her mother, Sally Wu were kind, professional, empathetic or helpful. They in fact created new rules just for me and gave me the complete polar opposite of five star experiences. The only conclusion I have come up with is that they either treated me completely differently than they treated their other patients or their countless five star reviews are fake and written by themselves, friends, family and patients offered perks and incentives. Can someone also inform this individual that patients go to her for help with their health problems and not to hear her countless problems and issues and challenges and obstacles in her personal and professional life. I am actually crying writing this because it really makes me sad that I was treated in the most horrible and unkind manner when all I was trying to do was to improve my health and have less illness and pain and suffering.

She will ask for feedback but she will not listen to any of it. At the end of the day, I did not find her or her staff professional, caring, polite or helpful so I just moved on. My money would have been better spent anywhere else except with her. I also consider my time extremely valuable and refuse to commute long distances to appointments with individuals who think that their time is more valuable than mine. If she keeps you waiting for any length of time after your appointment time even up to an hour, you have no choice but to wait. If you are God forbid 5 minutes late, they will give you long lectures and make sure that you lose double that time off your appointment. You’ll get a lecture when you arrive, during the appointment and at the end followed by another lecture when you pay from the other co-founder and/or receptionist or staff dealing with the payment.

She is extremely pricey and so very overrated and I found her not helpful or kind. She spends a lot of time talking about herself and her husband and family members and her studies and her long list of grievances. I am not a hairdresser or a friend or a therapist or a family member or a co-worker and found her to be extremely narcissistic and to put it simply not a nice person. It is extremely unprofessional to be talking about patients and employees behind their backs. I would never recommend her to anyone.

Massage Therapist

A Registered Massage Therapist is a health care professional who specializes in helping patients reduce pain, relax and achieve optimal health. He or she has completed education, clinical hours and passed an exam to become registered. A Registered Massage Therapist performs techniques such as craniosacral massage, Manual Lymph Drainage, neuromuscular massage and prenatal massage. In treating patients the registered massage therapist therapist can also educate them on massage for muscle pain and massage for sports injuries.

There are many causes of whiplash (also called a hyperextension injury). The most common cause of whiplash is car accidents. Whiplash occurs when the neck rapidly makes a whip-like motion, first bending towards and then away from the point of impact. This movement causes muscle or ligament sprain or strain to the neck.

Whiplash Symptoms

In about 95 percent of cases, Registered massage therapists can help with whiplash isn’t severe and causes slight muscle strain or sprain. You should see a healthcare provider immediately after a whiplash injury to avoid chronic problems, especially as whiplash starts in the neck but can later affect nerves and muscles in the arms and back. Whiplash symptoms include shoulder, neck and low back pain and stiffness and headaches.

How Massage Therapy Can Help

Massage therapy can be a very effective treatment for whiplash, providing pain relief, preventing chronic complications, relieving muscular pain and increasing oxygen and nutrients to the tissues to speed the healing process. It can also be a great way to relax after a traumatic injury.

• Friction-based massage can relieve pain and break up scar tissue
• Trigger-point massage can release tension in the muscles
• Myofascial massage can restore fluidity to the fascia for improved movement of muscles and ligaments

One of the key components of recovery after a whiplash injury is to stay active, and to stay engaged in your normal day-to-day activities. It's also important to listen to your body and modify your activities and your exercises based on how you feel. The majority of patients that have whiplash injuries can be treated with safe, non-invasive therapies. If you have a chronic injury, you may require a multi-disciplinary intervention, including psychotherapy, drug therapies and rehabilitation therapies with a physiotherapist.

Talk to your family physician if you'd like more information on whiplash and massage therapy.
