CARPAL TUNNEL RELIEF AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE SPA IN SANDY UTAH


CARPAL TUNNEL RELIEF AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE SPA IN SANDY UTAH
PART TWO

AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE SPA we want you to understand your body and how to keep it active and working properly. Regular massage will bring you quality health. When overworking certain areas of the body, body work repairs will bring the area back to health - when addressed early.

Let me describe your hand to you. (See the bones picture in Part One) There are eight small bones in the wrist called carpal bones form a gliding joint, arranged in two adjacent rows of 4 carpals, the mid-carpal joint. These bones form the base of the carpal tunnel. A ligament forms the roof of the tunnel - like a bridge. Through the small carpal tunnel passes the nine flexor tendons, along with the median nerve. The flexor muscles originate at the elbow, go down the underside of your forearm, merge into the tendons, which then go through the carpal tunnel, and insert into your wrist, hand and fingers. Any pressure or a contraction exerted onto this area will squeeze the median nerve causing pain, and numbness to the hand and wrist.

The arm muscles that attach to the wrist are connected at the elbow. The Brachio-radialis muscle and the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus muscle are attached to the humerous bone in the upper arm. The ankle is similar to the wrist in how it functions.

A trained massage therapists, at Allchristie Massage Spa, will begin by addressing the level of pain or discomfort you are feeling. Then talk to you about your job and any repetitive stress in your lifestyle that may cause injuries. If the level of pain is mild such as occasional tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in your fingers or hand, we work to relieve the pain and inflammation.

Licensed massage therapists, at Allchristie Massage Spa, will utilize touch therapy to give relaxation to the muscles (a loosening or slack in the tendon), adjust the position of bones by stretching, and add lotion with essential oils to be absorbed, with pain reducing effects. We begin your therapy by stretching from hand to elbow along each muscle, shifting gradually from one side to the other. This will stretch or loosen the tight muscles and give relief. It will also flush out lactic acid and allow fresh blood to flow into your muscles.

We are not physicians and will not give medical advice. Looking on the internet, I found this medical information. If you choose to see a medical doctor, your doctor will probably prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs or may suggest surgery. Your doctor or hand surgeon may recommend an EMG or write you a prescription to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain and reduce swelling. He may also recommend you wear a wrist splint at night to keep your wrist in a neutral position and relieve pressure on your median nerve. Next, when your pain is gone, begin exercises for flexibility and strength for your arm and wrist. It is possible that conditions diagnosed as Arthritis or Fibromyalgia are actually tight muscles pulling on a joint.

Make your appointment today to talk about your wrist pain and schedule time for your pain relief!

Body work is our specialty for reducing painful muscles. Proper alignment and relaxation of muscles is our top priority. We bring you pain-free living with improved health.

When you enter the office of Allchristie Massage in Sandy Utah you notice the decoration of pictures and lighted water scenes. On the walls are cats, pumas, cheetahs, lions, zebras, elephants, and giraffes. The Serengeti is viewed in your mind. Perhaps you have a wish to go on a safari to a foreign land? If you love the sound of oceans, water fountains, soft music, or the singing of birds to your ears, you will love the atmosphere here.

Allchristie Massage in Sandy Utah works for your best joyful life. The massage room uses aroma therapy, soft music, a heated table, hot moist towels and other equipment to wrap the client into soothing full relaxation.

On the wall above the massage table are multiple charts showing the muscles, bones, internal organs, and body structures that are helpful for viewing and for instructing the client about the possible problems that the client may possess.

Using Trigger-Point therapy to release the ache of a tightened muscle is necessary for that new feeling of pain-free life. Stretching and easy exercises for strained muscles give improvements needed to keep muscles toned and healthy. Vibration with a heated head allows tightened muscles to relax and return to their correct alignment.

FEEL GOOD AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE IN SANDY, UTAH

FEEL GOOD AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE IN SANDY, UTAH

I've noticed that after a great deep tissue or relaxation massage, the clients receiving their massage at Allchristie Massage in Sandy, Utah say they feel GREAT! Some feel so light with painless movement that they say they feel like they are floating. I love to see the smiles on their faces.

My thoughts moved to how I feel after their massage. I feel great, too! I am joyful that they have received a release of their pain. I feel accomplished that I have been able to release their tight, strained muscles -- those years of schooling have brought me the gift of healing! I feel the blessings of the universe with assistance in completing client requests. The process of flowing movement for one-hour or more has brought happy relief to stressed, painful or troubled souls. Occasionally they talk with me about their life events. Sometimes I have inspired words to say that give them ideas or solutions.

Although the time spent is a robust event for the therapist, using all muscles, friction, palpation, stretching, tension, trigger point release, manual therapy, body mechanics, and gravity pressure - along with tools of the trade - the therapist ends the session with a feeling of doing good for and giving service to another person - this is a gift.

The gift of nature brings birds in flight, animal movements, babbling brooks, waving seas or oceans, swaying trees, fragrant flowers and light from the sun, stars and moon. The massage therapist brings calmness, talent from schooling and natural gifts, beautiful relaxing music playing, a room full of aromatic healing smells, and a healing touch. Massage could only be better out in nature itself with the sun shining brightly by a babbling brook. I can see the wind blowing slightly against the sheets while the bells and chimes blend a magical, magnificent melody. So relaxing! So peaceful! So wonderful!

QUESTIONS COMMONLY ASKED AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE SANDY, UTAH

QUESTIONS COMMONLY ASKED AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE SANDY, UTAH
I will give you only twelve because the list is very long:

I have a terrible pain between my shoulders, can you fix it?
I have pain in my neck, right here, what can you do for me?
I’ve been working out a lot and today my arms hurt.
I bent over wrong at work and now I have pain. My back hurts.
My head hurts all over and it is throbbing on this side.
When I wake up, my feet hurt and then later they feel better.
I hurt when I play tennis, can you help? My hands and elbows hurt.
When I move this muscle, I feel pain way over here, why?
My legs hurt when I walk up stairs. It hurts in my calf, I’m limping.
I heard about Reiki, is that energy real?
Do I have to take my clothes off?
I have a bad cold, can I come and get a massage?

These and many other questions are asked of the Allchristie Massage Therapist in Sandy, Utah. We all have muscles that we overuse or use incorrectly. That is when the pains start. If we do nothing there are two choices. The pain will get worse, or we go to the Doctor and get pain meds like Lour tabs to relax the muscle. Solution: a massage at Allchristie in Sandy,Utah.

The body is a magnificent machine. Drugs are not friendly to the body. They can be addictive. A stay in the hospital requires recuperation and having to re-awaken muscles that have atrophied from being flat in bed too long. It is surprising what time away from daily maintenance of muscles causes. Daily exercise, even small amounts, is the key.

The twelve questions above are asked because of overuse of one or more muscles. Too much exercise or sports, too soon, can cause strains and muscle tears. Using muscles that we aren’t using daily can hurt when we try doing too much. Some muscles become stretched and cause pain until they can be massaged and alleviated of the calcified toxins formed which restrict the movement of the muscle. Too many reps too soon, cause strains.

The pain shooting to another area is part of a nerve ending, meridian, or trigger point. The body is connected by tendons, muscles, veins, nerves, gristle, bone, and skin. Reiki is an energy force and can unblock congested areas of the body to allow nerve and blood movement again. No, you do not have to remove all your clothes. You are asked to remove only those clothes that would allow you to feel safe under the sheets. And finally, if you have a cold please stay home. I don’t want to become ill and your germs don’t need to be left for my other clients.

We want you to feel great and have strong muscles that carry your body beautifully! To leave so relaxed that you feel like you are floating. All pains removed and smiling.

MIGRAINE RELIEF


My client yesterday evening had a bad Migraine headache. He had resigned himself to bed. Of course, his wife made the appointment. I've had great success with Migraine headache release. I found his shoulders were as hard as rock, his face was grimacing in pain, and the light blinded his eyes. I started work on his shoulders, spine, trapezius, head and neck. The knots seemed reluctant to disappear. About half-way through the session he began to relax. I worked 4 meridians, 7 nerve areas, the occipitals, scalenes, rhomboids, SCM, applied trigger-points, and massaged his scalp and head. Treatment of these various areas brought relief.His face showed a smile again, his painful headache disappeared.

Ask about our June specials.

What to look for...


Massage Therapists manipulate the soft tissues of the body by rubbing, kneading, pressing, stroking, tapping, thumping, stretching; using essential oils, hot oils, heat, vibrators, hot rocks, herbal remedies, soft music and various techniques to reduce tensions and pain.
Massage touches muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints to relax and treat clients.

Each body may require a variety of modalities. Usually several are used during each session, e.g., Swedish, Russian, Sports, Structure, Reiki, Reflexology, Acupressure or Shiatsu ( to name but a few). The Therapist may use Touch for Health, movement assessment, Kinesiology, or muscle diagnostics to determine which techniques should be used for each client.
Licenced Massage Therapists are trained in these fields. Be sure to seek out an LMT for your sore muscles, pain, and better health needs.
Call ALLCHRISTIE 801-565 8515 for your appointment today.
