Scheduling for Legacy Clients in the Upcoming Season

Autumn will be on us before you know it, and with schools starting back over the next couple of weeks, our collective schedules will likely start settling into familiar routines.  If you are one of my long standing Legacy clients, you are hopefully on your regular schedule with me already.  (Legacy clients are those who have been with me 5 or more years and have committed to ongoing routinely scheduled appointments.)  If not, now is the time to be sure to get those sessions on the book.  If you’re not sure if we’re set, give me a shout and we’ll make sure you’re covered. I do give my Legacy clients preferential treatment on appointments whenever possible.

I opened my availability up this summer to a handful of new referrals.  Thank you to those who recommended me!  I am not actively seeking new clients at this time.  If you know someone in need, I will consider their individual situation and let you know if we can accommodate them on the schedule.  Again, the usual terms apply:  do you know them well enough to vouch for their character and would you trust them alone in your home with your kids and valuables?  If yes, we’ll talk.  Any openings not used by Legacy clients are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.  If you've been with me for years but haven't committed to a regular routine of care and would like to, let me know and we'll see what we can do.  

The Value of Rapid Repeat Treatment

Massage therapy is the go-to wellness option for many people hoping to optimize their health, which is fantastic!  Monthly sessions are considered to be standard wellness protocol for the generally healthy, with more frequent sessions being recommended for those with chronic or systemic health conditions.

But there are other uses for massage therapy as well.  From acute sprains to chronic sciatica flares, migraines to TMJ, massage therapy has much to offer in the relief and resolution of somatic disorders and conditions.  Unfortunately, most don’t get resolved in a single session with a monthly follow-up.  This is where rapid repeat treatments may be the best option.  The body needs timely intervention with rest for acute care and ongoing retraining for chronic care after an initial series of treatments.  Massage therapy can assist the body in breaking pain cycles, resetting the central nervous system response, and returning the body tissues to a more neutral state of relaxation that then allows for new information (stretches/exercises/activities) to form new patterns of use and behavior.  

If you are stuck in a repeating cycle of symptoms that come back time and time again after your massages, with no other underlying illness or disorder, maybe it’s time to try a series of rapid repeat treatments that encourage a new dynamic in your life.  They might be longer or shorter in duration, include a few new types of treatments, and often happen once or twice a week for a few weeks.  It is very individualized.  If you are interested in trying this approach, let me know and we’ll discuss your particular needs in more detail.
