$90 per treatment, permanent rate.  THIS IS A GREAT DEAL!!

Hi.  I'm John Chetta, therapist to PGA Golfers, NFL Linemen and ninety year old bingo enthusiasts.   The idea of making my service accessible on ebay is new and exciting for me.  This allows me an opportunity to reach a lot of people on an important subject.  If you, or someone you know is considering massage therapy for pain management, performance enhancement, or rehabilitation, I'd get in touch with me.  If conventional medicine has failed you, there is still hope.  Pain medicine only gets you so far, and pretty soon stops working.  What I offer is structural balance and reduced, often eliminated pain.  Many people suffer with pain because they think theres no hope.  They've been to MDs, Chiropractors, Massage Therapist and nothing worked for them.  If this sounds familiar, get in touch with me.  If you're not in my treatment zone, find a therapist like me, or look for a Rolfer (we do VERY similar work but typically they charge a bit more).  My practice is located in Lacombe, LA.  Outcalls are available, just add $20.  QUESTIONS ABOUT SCHEDULING?  NOT SURE IF YOU'RE A CANDIDATE?  Click "Ask seller a question."

 

What is Orthopedic Structural Massage Therapy?

Orthopedic massage is a “comprehensive system” rather than a set of specific techniques or protocols.  It borrows the term “orthopedic” because it deals with the restoration of locomotive function and structural balance.  Because it is a comprehensive system, orthopedic massage is able to integrate many of today’s cutting edge massage techniques to treat soft-tissue pain and dysfunction.  

 

The four components to orthopedic massage:

 1.    Orthopedic assessment

2.    Matching the physiology of the injury with the physiological effects of the treatment

3.    Treatment adapability

4.    Understanding the rehabilitation protocol

Normalize soft tissue dysfunction

Improve flexibility

Reintegrate proper movement

Strengthen and condition

 

After a thorough evaluation/assessment has been completed by the therapist, this information will then be used to guide the therapist in matching what type of techniques would be most appropriate to treat the clients presenting pain and tissue dysfunction. Techniques used by an orthopedic massage therapists range from muscle energy technique, trigger point therapy, active-isolated stretching, deep transverse friction, myofascial approaches as well as incorporating the use of moist heat and cryotherapy.

What are the benefits of orthopedic structural massage?

Orthopedic massage has many benefits to offer patients, including the following:

• Increased blood circulation—this can help to heal an injury.
• Decreased pain—the massage itself, as well as the side effects caused by the massage, can help to relieve pain.
• Relaxation—not only can this reduce pain in the injured area, but it can also help to promote healing by relaxing the muscles near the injured area
• Realigns tissues—this can help relieve pain, promote healing in injuries, as well as prevent injuries.
• Reduces tension—this is a great benefit whether it is preventative or used as a pain relief (such as for sprains, etc.).
• Enhanced performance—orthopedic massage is used by many athletes regularly to enhance their performance (the relaxation, tension relief, and realignment help to accomplish this).
• Releases adhesions—this is the scar tissue that can form because of an injury (this often occurs in tendons, ligaments, etc.) and can sort of glue itself to nearby muscles or other tissues. When this happens, any movement can cause the tissue to tear again and cause pain.
• Strengthening—this can be helpful with enhancing performance, but it is most helpful to patients who have had an injury and have been unable to use certain muscles in their body due to the injury. When this happens, the muscle will begin to deteriorate over time and orthopedic massage can help strengthen those muscles again.
