Working with a chiropractor the last four years has brought a new awareness to my training. The results of aging and the lack of nutrition, exercise, chiropractic and tissue therapies can leave your body unbalanced. Understanding this brings my concern for the health and well being of the senior citizens in our community. Osteoarthritis is a common problem with 97% of our population between the ages for forty and sixty being affected. One hundred percent of those over sixty five will show arthritic changes on an x-ray. Half of these people suffer pain, swelling or loss of range and coordination. In addition to the joint degeneration, the muscle tissue develops trigger points and muscle spasms. The shortened muscle then loses the ability to relax. When there is lack of exercise and stretching bringing circulation to the joints and tissue, neurological functions begin to deteriorate. Being active and independent is a vital part of our physical and mental well being. Assisted stretching and soft tissue release can relieve the effects of stress, as well as improving circulation and lymphatic drainage. It also increases oxygenation and eliminates toxins from the body. Trigger point therapy can reduce and often erase pain in the shortened tissue. I now offer treatment for our senior citizens at an affordable rate of $20.00 per session. This includes active isolated stretching techniques and trigger point therapy for those problem areas. No undressing is necessary and it only takes 20 minutes per session.

It’s never too late to start these beneficial treatments and enjoy the energizing results! Please contact your physician for any contraindications you might have before starting your therapy.
