Concussion. A traumatic brain injury caused by a direct impact, forward/back motion or a blast.
Symptoms of a concussion can persist for years, even from a minuscule or insignificant event; often without knowledge that a concussion had even occurred.
New research and training has provided me with the tools to address some of these hard to improve issues, with great results.
Is it time to get back to yourself? Let’s start a treatment plan to reduce headaches & brain fog, improve concentration & alertness, reset the nerves which have been causing the trauma to hold on.

The impact of old injuries!

All too often it is something from the top of the list that is causing something on the bottom of the list.

At RAPID we look at our patient’s first known injury and everything in between to try to figure out when their brain took a few dysfunctional memory snapshots which now can distort their body into an angry mess if they sleep or sit wrong.

Recently a student told me that a lot of her clients were waking up with painful necks-her comment was “people aren’t getting injured sleeping are they?”

Of course they are not but their brain has a good memory and if they stay just a hair too long in an awkward position their brain will take them right back to that kink in their neck from when they fell out of that tree at an early age.

Our job as therapists is to simply reassure the brain of its safety and reset the system to quickly undue those nasty memory snapshots.

▫️Focuses on the area in question, but also explores other possible causes of pain☑️
▫️Kick-starts the healing process (inflammation IS actually good!)☑️

Text neck is a real thing, and becoming more prevalent in the younger generations as well.
Ways to reduce symptoms of text neck are taking frequent breaks, reducing screen time, maintaining good posture while using devices (use device at or barely below eye level), stretching your neck in the opposite direction (looking up).
All these things can help, but Rapid can drastically reduce long-standing neck pain.

ICE IS OUT. ICE DELAYS HEALING. This by the man who coined the acronym RICE (rest, ice, compress, elevate) in the first place.
