Lack of range of motion in the shoulder

i took a scroll through the camera roll & stumbled upon this 🤍

i find that there are always shoulder issues coming in for treatment

as you can tell, the right shoulder has less range of motion than the left one

there are a few things to consider when we are treating this

sometimes its as easy to just treat the subscapula and it releases to allow for more range of motion

then there are other times that the bicep tendon actually has to be worked on in order for this shoulder to release

even then sometimes when we work both the subscapula and the bicep tendon it still doesn’t want to release

in this case, i usually find that there is something in the core that is not allowing for the shoulder to go through full range of motion

some of the core issues that can cause this lack of range of motion could simply be the abs, diaphragm, or a scar from previous surgerys

the reason why i love RAPID so much is because we can actually work on a lot of issues in a short amount of time & we can see the results right away

Trauma

when treating trauma it is something that needs to be taken slow. when your cortisol levels are hightened and you are in that fight or flight response it is really hard to manually treat clients. destressing has so many different components but did you know that RAPID is the perfect treatment to add in to help treat trauma and calm the central nervous system.

the reason why is because RAPID affects the central nervous system by targeting the periosteum on the bones which is highly neurological. this tricks the body into safety.

as someone who has trauma i can attest that RAPID affectively helps calm my nervous system down. 15 or 30 mins is best for people treating trauma because if you are already overstimulated with a hightened system we do not want to overstimulate you during treatment.

i have found in my practice that the clients who are extremely tired after treatment seem to be the ones that are most likely dealing with some trauma. this is something that i have observed over the last year and a half of practicing RAPID.

myself, Kayla & our other RAPID Specialist Stephanie are extremely confident in helping work through trauma and releasing the fascial restrictions that can be caused by this.

Bursitis

“Bursitis is the inflammation of one or more bursae (synovial sacs) of synovial fluid in the body.”

This is more common in the shoulder, knee and hip & is something that we treat with RAPID.

With RAPID we add more inflammation into the area to allow your body to flush it out instead of the therapist doing so.

This is why we get such amazing results because we allow for your body to do the work for us.

Let The Sun Friggen Shine

as a massage therapist most of the time we are in a dark room with no natural light

when i started mvment therapy i wanted more natural light coming into the treatment room

with this new location, the sun beams in the perfect amount

if you don’t know us, hi 👋

i am Kayla the owner of Mvment Therapy. we now have Stephanie & Jorjia with us.

Stephanie & i both do treatments a little differently around here. Yes we still massage but our true intentions are to actually help you in the long run.

if we notice that you have some things that should be taken care of and are causing pain we will always recommend a RAPID session to you. this also allows us to enjoy the light in the treatment room a little more, as you are fully clothed with RAPID treatments.

we want to help you & can with RAPID. For your first appointment we always recommend a 45 or 30 minute RAPID session to start. this way we can actually make some great changes & then if you still want a massage you can totally book for that later.

Why Less Time is Better

There have been many times that we have been working on a condition and get it to where it needs to be, and then work on one more area & completely undo what we just finished. 

This is why less time is better for treatment most times because we do not want to overstimulate the body and completely undo what we just worked on.

Same day treatment with other therapies is completely fine, as long as you have the other treatment (physio, massage, chiro) before your RAPID treatment.

You do not have to do any of the other treatments before as RAPID is very beneficial on its own. Some people choose to do it this way as that is their personal preference.

In most cases when we work with RAPID we can actually do a full treatment in 15 minutes, however there are a few exceptions with this. If we have to do anything with the core or working on scars sometimes the 30 - 45 minute treatments are better. This is why for your first RAPID treatment in our clinic we ask that you book in for 30 - 45 minutes.

Your RAPID Specialist will let you know after treatment if 15 minutes is best for the next time.

Holistic Health

Holistic health is something that many are choosing and or coming back to because other things have not been working. 

Instead of relying on medications and different treatments many have been choosing to go back to things more natural by choosing to use different holistic manual therapies.

There have been many times when we see people walk in our clinic after trying treatments such as cortisone injections and leaving our clinic after a RAPID session and getting even better results.

We choose to treat you with one of the best forms of manual therapy because we actually want to see you get better.
