Therapeutic/Orthopedic Massage Therapy

Patricia Chartrand, NCTMB, LMT

Prior to opening Whole Body Health in August 1994, I suffered from severe allergies due to the various preservatives. dyes and chemicals added to my foods and medicines. As I eliminated those items from my diet and medicine cabinet, I began the journey back to health.

 

Through the years I have attended many seminars and classes in health and nutrition and I have earned my B.S. in Natural Health.

 

I completed my training in Therapeutic Massage from the Body Therapy Center & School of Massage. I passed the National Board Examinations in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, which made me Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCTMB) in August 2002.

 

I’m a Certified AromaTherapist as well as a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association.

 

In May 2003 I received my certification in Orthopedic Massage and Pain Management. My training focused on techniques designed to manage conditions related to orthopedics such as low back pain, neck stiffness and pain, rotator cuff and knee injuries and many other conditions such as arthritis, frozen shoulder and tennis elbow. The techniques are applicable whether the pain or dysfunction is acute or chronic, or whether the condition arose from an injury, stress or degenerative condition.

 

Another part of my journey to promote health and well-being has been the completion of training in Total Body Modification. TBM is a technique that is used through reflex points and muscle testing to find the organ or system in your body that is stressed and correct the problem by restoring balance to the nervous system. Weight problems, metal toxicity and food allergies are just some of the conditions that can be uncovered using TBM.

 

As of January 2005, all massage therapists in the state of Illinois must be licensed (LMT). The state also requires therapists to be fingerprinted and a criminal background check for any past or present criminal activity before they issue their license.

 

My goal through Whole Body Health and with Professional Massage Therapy is to continue to promote the health and well-being of one’s physical, emotional and spiritual self.
