I have come to know massage as more than an application of modalities and techniques that help muscles and the kinetic chain. I have known it to mend the internal structures of ourselves that can't be touched. What many have called hinderances are communications rather, that tell you what is being rebuilt or needs external attention. Sometimes it is hard to follow the doctor's regimen or the physical therapy exercise plan, hard to motivate, hard to make it happen, that's when help helps. Massage therapy can do it for you. Sometimes it is hard to heal from stress, anxiety, depression, or grief. No matter how big, or how small and intimate, of a support network you have, sometimes, you need someone else to help you and your body remember what it is to accept help or to accept the healing that your body is capable of. I believe massage therapy can be that adjunct for many. It is a way to find a way through pain and injury, hurt and grief, to recovery and relief.
