How are you feeling today?  If you have had a recent injury, you are probably experiencing pain.  You may have had tests like an MRI or X-ray to identify the damage and to determine what course of action needs to be taken to heal.  Physical therapy, spinal adjustments or exercises may have been prescribed to aid in the healing process.  After following instructions, within several months, your tissues will be healed, and you should be pain free.  But wait, what happens when you have followed all your doctors’ instructions, 6 months have passed, and you are still in pain?  You have advanced from acute pain to chronic pain.  Today, Sam Visnic, a clinical massage therapist and owner of Release Muscle Therapy is with me to talk to you about how he treats clients with chronic pain. 

For “18 years he has studied dozens of systems and methodologies for uncovering the root cause of aches and pains”.  Pain is complex.  It involves many factors that extend beyond just muscles and joints.  Sam’s program addresses these factors in a systemic way that gets lasting results.  Everyone is unique in the way they experience pain and Sam tailors each session to the specific needs of each client.

Tune in today to hear:

-How the brain processes information about pain.

-How clinical massage can change how the brain interprets that information.

-Info about Fibromyalgia and how he treats it:  a syndrome of increased or maladaptive responsive to stress.
