Patti's Story

After a severe car accident in 2003, Patti tried physiotherapy and several other different options to help manage the chronic pain she began to experience as a result. It was only massage therapy that was able to significantly help her to live a pain-free life.

“Since I found my RMT I find I am able to live life pain free between treatments with the regular maintenance of massage therapy,” Patti said.

Massage therapy helps keep Patti limber, and she feels like after a massage therapy treatment her neck and shoulders are able to move much better. She feels great when she walks out and she finds that after treatments she is more actively able to enjoy her daily life. “After a treatment, I have found that I can do a lot more physical activity and run around after my young granddaughters,” Patti said.

During the pandemic, Patti’s RMT sent out videos to help keep her moving. Although she missed her hands-on treatment, the exercises provided by her RMT during that time helped keep her moving.

“Without massage therapy, I would be in a lot of pain and would not be able to move the way I can when I have access,” Patti said.

Patti will continue to regularly seek about massage therapy as part of her regular health care routine, because she feels that it causes her body to thrive.
