Massage for chronic pain – 4 massages @ $100

Do you have pain that has affected you for 6 months or more?  Our students have been studying pain neuroscience education and massage for chronic pain.  They’re completing a case study on working with people who have chronic pain during the fourth term of the year.  If you are interested in getting 4 massages and homecare strategies then read on…

The process starts with a lifestyle survey which gathers information about stress levels, diet, exercise, psychological wellbeing and sleeping patterns.  Your first two appointments will be 90 minutes long.  The first will includes a discussion of survey results and a massage.  The second will include a pain neuroscience education discussion and a massage.  The third and fourth will be 60 minute massages. As well as the massage you’ll also explore strategies that can help with pain management.
