Looking forward to using these advanced skills in my practice when I return from Sydney 😊

For needle phobic people, dry needling is not compulsory and remedial massage is still available 😉

Last night on ACA there was a story involving a woman being injured at a massage therapy business.

Allegedly the therapist ‘cracked’ the lady’s neck.

Just to let you know that massage therapists in Australia are prohibited from performing any type of chiropractic manipulations on clients, and anyone who is a member of an Australian massage association would be aware of this.

Unfortunately in some countries massage therapists are permitted to do these adjustments and then migrate to Australia, set up shop and can injure people. Often they have had no formal government recognised training.

My hope in the future is that AHPRA will require massage therapists to be formally regulated to avoid these kinds of incidents from occurring.

Something to consider

If you have chronic back pain and are not responding to standard therapies, abnormal pain processing from nociplastic pain should be considered as a source.

The findings of this 2023 meta-analysis are compelling, showing clear benefits of massage therapy in cancer pain management. It adds to the growing body of literature supporting non-pharmacological interventions for cancer pain management, aligning with current trends toward holistic patient care.

Did you know that you can access remedial massage as an allied health service through the Australian Government's Home Care Package program? You may even be able to request your trusted remedial massage therapist to provide the treatment - just ask your Home Care Package Provider.
