You know the old proverb, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”  Well, I’m going to add some new dimensions to it.  How about, “An hour of prevention to maintain cure or to stay well?”

Wellness is on everyone’s mind as healthcare prices soar and coverage plummets.  We are tired of pills, shots, surgeries and other means that are only masking or reducing the symptoms, not fixing the root cause of our problems.  We want our money’s worth when it comes to our healthcare.  Where do we get it and how does it work?

The human body is 80% soft tissue.  Many illnesses are soft tissue related.  The majority of pain occurs in the muscles, tendons or ligaments, which are soft tissue and need someone that understands their mechanics in order to reduce the pain and promote healing.  Where does one go for such work?  Who is qualified to work on these issues?  What type of treatment will help these conditions?

Massage Therapists are Soft Tissue Specialists with advanced training in the anatomy, physiology and the mechanics of the human body.  They understand how muscles and connective tissue function and interact.   Imbalance results in a host of maladies that are not only treatable, but preventable through regular massage therapy, stretching and exercise.

One hour/week will be your best ally in preventing many forms of pain and dis-ease.  Aside from being extremely effective in relieving stress, there is scientific evidence showing that massage helps with a variety of conditions, such as:

➔  Adhesions, scars and stretch marks

➔  Anxiety

➔  Arthritis

➔  Asthma

➔  Back and body pain, stiffness and soreness

➔  Post-traumatic stress disorder

➔  Relaxation

➔  Sleep Disorders

➔  Sports Injuries

➔  STRESS

➔  Tendonitis

➔  Whiplash

Massage is an ancient art of healing.  I discovered massage following an accident that resulted in extreme pain and reduced function.  It has given my life back and I have vowed to share the healing power of touch with those desiring a better quality of life through natural means.

So, if you are ready to feel better and maintain your health, make massage a part of your wellness program.  Our therapists’ training includes:  Neuromuscular, Cranio-Sacral, Manual Lymph Drainage, Orthopedic, Cupping, Trauma, Chronic and Acute Pain, and much more.

Testamonials

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) was a Godsend following my chin tuck.  I had severe swelling in my neck that swallowing was difficult and scary.  My doctor prescribed MLD to reduce the swelling/edema and re-educate the lymphatic system.  After the first session, I could feel the difference!  IT’S THE GREATEST!

Doris , Jacksonville

I had MLD following my skin reduction surgery and boy what a difference it made in my ability to heal quickly!  I would recommend that anyone having plastic or reconstructive surgery to make MLD a part of their healing program.

Like BodyTalk, Animal Talk is designed to re-establish good communication within an animal’s body. Animal Talk supports the resynchronization of the animal’s internal systems to provide fluid communication between the various components of the body, thus keeping the body sound and less vulnerable to disease.  AnimalTalk, which is more oriented to the animl professional, can be used on domestic animals or on wild animals alike As the sessions are done by “short-distance”, there is no hands-on contact with the animal, thus making it safe for the animal and AnimalTalk Practitioner.

http://www.bodytalksystem.com/learn/bodytalk/specialty_training.cfm

The BodyTalk treatment protocol is straightforward. The practitioner relies on the guidance of the animal’s natural wisdom to not only locate the weakened lines of communication but also to find the proper order in which they are to be addressed. Children and animals respond well to the treatment.

• “I suffered from allergies for 10 years. Nothing was helping.   The diet I had to adhere to was very restrictive and depressed my family as I couldn’t enjoy simple things like ice cream with them. I was referred to BodyTalk for treatment.  I was very skeptical. As a nurse with knowledge of the immune system and allergies, I didn’t expect much but wanted results. To my surprise in just 3 sessions, I was able to drink milk for the first time in years!  I was so astounded that I became a BodyTalk practitioner.     I want to share this wonderful healing technique with everyone! It’s the greatest!” ~ Julia S., Ponte Vedra, FL

I was in so much pain throughout my body.  The headaches were so severe I couldn’t think clearly.  After several BodyTalk sessions, the headaches cleared up and I could think again.  The stress of the accident reduced greatly and I was able to drive without fear of anything happening to me.” ~Sherica M., Jacksonville, FL
• “I was scheduled for hip replacement surgery when I was introduced to BodyTalk. I was suffering with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from previous surgeries. Just the thought of having surgery again frightened me so bad that I went into shock!  After 3 BodyTalk treatments, I could think about the surgery with minimal fear.  After the surgery, I received more treatments and my recovery was phenomenal! I was able to move from wheelchair to walker to cane within 48 hours!  I felt better than I had in more than 5 years!  The nurses kept asking me how I was able to heal so fast, and I kept telling them, “It’s the BodyTalk!”   Thank you, Kim for introducing me to this wonderful system of healing!”            ~ Coleman T., Jacksonville, FL
