If you're suffering from pain or weakness in your hands or forearms, there's a good chance that I can help. Years ago, when doing lots of deep tissue massage at a downtown clinic, I developed pain and weakness in my hands that was so bad I was afraid my career could be over! I'd literally come home after a day at work, and have to pick up a glass of water with both hands, because I didn't have enough grip-strength in my hands to pick it up one-handed. Even brushing my teeth became a challenge, as I could barely hold onto a toothbrush! I had two choices... either write off all the time I had spent developing my craft and go find a completely different job (which many therapists have done and continue to do), or learn how to rehabilitate my hands.
I guess by now you can figure out which one I chose. I learned by studying, and by practice, how to care for and rehabilitate hands. Luckily, this has not only helped me, but I've been able to help clients as well.
"Rachel's work in repetitive stress injury is exceptional. Anyone who spends long hours at a computer and wants to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome would benefit from her expertise. The fact that Rachel continues to actively research and learn the latest in her field shows her commitment to her profession and her dedication to the well-being of her clients." -Susan Remkus, Arvada
In addition to giving people relief from hand pain, clients have also gotten relief from "tennis elbow", "golfer's elbow" and tendonitis. If you don't currently suffer from these symptoms, but spend long hours at a computer, or otherwise do hand-intensive work, these techniques work as a preventative as well. -Look at it like career insurance!
As well as helping you in the office, I can teach you some tips and techniques that you can use yourself to better care for your hands on a daily basis. If you or someone you know is suffering from weakness and/or pain, and/or loss of dexterity in their hands, and would like to explore a less invasive option to surgery, please give me a call. I offer free consultations, so if you're not sure I can help, set up an appointment to come in and chat, and we can discuss the specifics of your situation. Please call me at 303-563-2134 or email me at rachel@bodyisatemple.com.
