Therapy

I "threw out" my lower back. I was able to intervene quickly and was able to strech and work it out with Motrin and a Muscle Relaxer. It’s to the point where I can still feel some pain and tightness, but I’m able to go to work and get around fine.

I’d like to get a therapeutic massage. How do I pick a massage therapist? What kind of massage should I have?

First make sure that all you did do was "throw out your back" otherwise a massage or any other "hands on" treatment can exacerbate the problem(make it worse). Second when choosing a massage therapist you need to make sure that the therapist is NCTMB certified. Make sure your personalities don’t clash. Make sure to ask plenty of questions of the therapist. If the therapist does not inquire as to the medications you are taking even over the counter medications and supplements then you should likely see a different therapist. If the therapist makes you uncomfortable during the massage, find another therapist. Remember you are getting a massage for YOUR comfort not the therapist’s comfort so if you are not comfortable with a therapist for any reason go to another. As a therapeutic massage practitioner myself I have asked clients not to return ( gave them another name for a therapist) because I was not comfortable. Plainly it is like this, finding a good therapist that is right for you and knows what he or she is doing is a bit of a trial and error. You can look for an NCTMB certified therapist in your area by going to their site and clicking on "find a therapist. This is the best place to start. www.nctmb.com

This is the style of neuromuscular massage that I do in South Lyon, Michigan. I do intense therapy and repair many injuries including rotator cuff, low back, and whiplash. I also teach this type of massage and have an hour long video.

To be polite, you should keep your underwear on until you are invited to remove them… and then you should only remove them if you feel comfortable doing so.

The therapist usually flicks a towel over the body parts they are not working on so that you stay warm and comfortable.

The therapeutic massage would help the circulation in the legs. What can I do to help reduce the swelling in the legs. What type of medical service would I go to to get the massage done.

My mom has edema from time to time when she doesn’t remember to take her Levothyroxine. We elevate her legs and it helps a lot. She also restricts her fluid intake. I bought her tights at Target and she wears them all the time at home. It has become her anti-embolism stocking and at the same time she feels stylish (Gotta love her LOL). About the massage therapy… I don’t think you have to spend money on it. A regular rub down from someone will usually help. Just don’t apply too much pressure. Also, if it’s pitting edema, you shouldn’t restrict fluids… it’s weird, but it’s a sign of dehydration. Hope this helps!

Around here it is $100 per hour for therapeutic massage. Half the time the person does a lousy job, too. There is a good one for $147 but that seems a little pricey espec. if they don’t have the skills. What suggestions do you have?

The rates vary, $50-100. I charge $60. I don’t charge more for deep tissue because some people say they want deep tissue, then they can’t really handle it. I work with a chiropractor, next to a gym.
Look for an individual therapist, salons often require therapists to do a "routine", to ensure you get the same massage, every time you visit, no matter who works on you. An individual therapist may also give you a discount for frequent visits, "buy 3, get one free", etc. An individual will also be more likely to listen to what you want, tailor the massage, to meet your needs.
