Hi all! It’s been a while since I’ve popped on here to talk about myself. I guess I’ll start with who I am and why I’m here.
I’m Emma, the RMT of Little Mountain Massage Therapy. I’ve been practicing for 6 years this May and I started this solo business in the fall of 2022.
My passion for Massage Therapy started with my own chronic pain journey.
I was in and out of Drs offices and ERs for almost 10 years, experiencing debilitating chronic pain with no real answers or help.
I felt like I was going in circles and was only ever left with pain killer prescriptions and the idea that it was “all in my head”.
One day someone reffered me to a local Physiotherapist. After the first appointment my entire outlook on the body and my pain changed forever.
This practitioner did 4 things for me:
They listened, really listened to everything I had to say about my pain.
They told me that they believed me and how bad it really was.
They did a series of specific soft tissue work on muscles related to my complaints.
Then they sent me off with a set of mindfulness, stretch and strengthening home care exercises.
For the first time in years, my pain started to go away. I felt safe in my body again. I felt like I was in control.
This was the moment that I knew I wanted to work with people in pain.
I wanted to listen and hold space for them, give them the opportunity to relax and receive the self care that they deserve and if I was lucky, help them find their way back to a more comfortable life.
I may not have all the answers, but I can assure you that I see you, I believe you and I want to help.
