I was just finishing massage school at the Swedish Institute in 2008 and I remember at the time Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) in New York City was one of the few hospitals that had a full-time massage therapist on staff. As a matter of fact, the lead massage therapist from MSK came to my school on career day to speak to the students about working in the medical field instead…

Summer is coming to an end, and with that comes some mixed feelings. People can’t wait for the cooler temperatures, the beautiful Fall foliage, especially if you live in the beautiful areas of New Jersey/New York that boarder with the mountains, lakes, and forests… For me, this time of the year is not a happy one at all. I have a difficult time transitioning to Fall, and I completely dislike…

Run to the nearest groceries store and grab a bottle of repellent,…
Within two weeks I had two patients that reported migraine as their chief complaint. For this reason, I decided to share some simple but good information with all of you. First, it’s important to try to identify the trigger. It could be some sort of environmental allergy, food allergy, lighting (including too much computer/phone screen), emotional, and the most I read, the most I find fascinating about the triggers. There…
Massage Modalities. Massage is the manipulation of muscle and connective tissue to enhance the function of those tissues, promote relaxation, and well-being.

According to Healthline, Humans have used aromatherapy for thousands of years. Ancient cultures in China, India, Egypt, and elsewhere incorporated aromatic plant components in resins, balms, and oils. These natural substances were used for medical and religious purposes. They were known to have both physical and psychological benefits. Essential oils distillation is attributed to the Persians in the 10th century, though the practice may have been in use for a long time prior…
According to North American Journal of Sports Physical Therapy: The science of sports massage is of interest to many populations including athletes, athletic trainers, coaches, as well as sports physiologists.
