In the world of healthcare, the power of massage therapy goes far beyond relaxation for older clients.
At our core, we believe in the transformative impact of massage on quality of life, promoting independence and providing care tailored to each individual.
In 2022, over 4 million Australians were living with chronic pain and the prevalence increases as we age, 80% are aged care residents. With an ever rapidly growing aged population, this number is increasing at a rapid rate each year.
Chronic pain is any pain that persists for more than 3 months.
The four most common sources of chronic pain include:
- Lower back – can be debilitating and restrict activity
- Cancer Pain – a common issue for individuals with advanced cancer.
- Arthritis Pain – often manifests as joint stiffness or swelling.
- Headaches – including migraines, cluster headaches, and tension headaches, are among the most prevalent chronic headaches.
The sensation of pain is the result of a series of messages that swiftly travel through the nervous system. Pain sensors activate in a specific area when experiencing an injury. These sensors transmit an electrical signal that progresses from one nerve to another until it reaches your brain. Your brain interprets the signal and sends a message to you, yelling, IT HURTS!
Our mission is to enhance the well-being of each person regardless of health status. By focusing on individualized care and empowering our clients to take control of their health and happiness, we aim to create a space where everyone feels valued and supported on their journey towards better quality of life. Our team is dedicated to providing the highest standard of care.
How does massage help sufferers of chronic pain?
- Massage therapy for chronic pain decreases pain, tension, stress, enhances relaxation and improves range of motion.
- Massage therapy is a non-invasive method used to manage chronic pain. While it’s not a cure for chronic diseases, when combined with physical activity and a treatment plan, massage can effectively reduce pain, alleviate stress, and positively impact the lives of individuals dealing with chronic pain over extended periods.
- During a massage session, the temperature of muscles rises as blood circulation increases. This rise in muscle temperature enhances the flexibility and elasticity of tissues, allowing muscles to relax and stretch.
