Knot Only Pills are the Answer for Pain

A knot in your back or neck can cause severe pain. An alternative to taking pills for the problem is massage therapy. Julie Chapman at Health and Harmony and the Fieldhouse has been doing massage for 21 years. It was a family member’s accident that got her involved.

"I had a sister that was in a car accident. a serious one, she broke her neck and was in a coma. She had to learn to walk, talk, everything all over again and that’s what got me interested in massage" said Massage Therapist Julie Chapman.

There are over 200 forms of massage. Relaxation massages include the common Swedish massage. Deep tissue massages may use hot stones and then, there is medical.

"Medical massage you are working specific areas of the body. For different problem areas" said Chapman.

Common areas are the back and neck. Arthritis pain can be eased too. Massage may not be as quick a relief as pain killers.

"If you have a specific injury of course you know you are not going to be fixed just in one session" answered Chapman.

Chapman also works at The Fieldhouse where best loser contestants have become interested in massage.

"They have a lot of sore muscles and things because a lot of people um it is their first time working out. So , they are building up a lot of toxins that they need to release and get rid of " said Chapman.

Massage can release these toxins and improve sore muscles. Coming into the spa and before your treatment begins you will meet with Julie and she will make sure she knows all of your problem areas.

Chapman feels benefits are to improve circulation, help muscles, help spasms, and improve flexibility. how often you go back is up to you.

"I am not a doctor so I can’t tell you. You know you have to come in x amount of times; you yourself know your body. "

Once done, with massage, the patient will feel their body totally relax. Some people go as often as once a month.
