Most people who come to see me because of pain have been dealing with it for months or even years. Many of them are not talking about it openly. They are working, caring for family, and pushing through discomfort that has quietly become part of daily life. This is far more common than people realize, and many of the people I see are seeking medical massage for pain that t has slowly settled into their everyday routines.

By the time someone reaches my office, they have often tried several ways to feel better. They may experience relief, sometimes meaningful relief, but after a period of time, the pain slowly returns. That usually means recovery is still in progress.

Lasting pain relief usually requires more than one approach, which is why I often combine medical massage with yoga and guided movement to support recovery over time.

Winter has a way of taking more out of us than we expect.

At Medical and Sports Massage, we see this every year. Winter impacts the nervous system, energy levels, and emotional balance in very real, physical ways. Understanding what is happening is the first step toward feeling better.
