Good Thursday morning to all 🪷

Most of my clients come to me for more than a relaxing massage. Those are the rare few. These massages are an indeed self care necessity!

Most of my clients come for extreme pain relief, including post surgery, etc. This is why as soon as Í became a Licensed Massage Therapist, Í immediately went back to Little Rock and significantly increased my education to become a Practitioner in Medical Massage.

Many do not understand the difference so I would love to help you understand and break it down for you. 😊

🌿 Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT)

A Licensed Massage Therapist is someone who has:
• Completed required education (usually 500–1,000+ hours depending on the state)
• Passed a State licensing exam (like the MBLEx) - note I am qualified for Arkansas and Missouri.
• Is legally licensed to practice massage

What they typically focus on:
• Relaxation and stress relief
• General muscle tension
• Circulation and wellness
• Techniques like Swedish massage, basic deep tissue, hot stone, etc.

Think of this as wellness-focused care—helping you feel better overall. This is most definitely important to your health.

🩺 Licensed Massage Therapist – Medical Massage Practitioner

A medical massage practitioner is still an LMT, but with advanced, specialized training focused on treating many specific conditions.

What makes them different:
• They use clinical assessment skills (posture, range of motion, pain patterns)
• Sessions are treatment-focused, not just relaxation
• Techniques are tailored to a specific diagnosis or problem
• Often work alongside or receive referrals from:
• Doctors
• Chiropractors
• Physical therapists

What they typically treat:
• Injury recovery (car accidents, sports injuries)
• Chronic pain (neck, back, sciatica)
• Conditions like:
• TMJ dysfunction
• Frozen shoulder
• Tendonitis
• Post-surgical rehabilitation (when appropriate)

Think of this as outcome-based care—the goal is measurable improvement, not just relaxation.

⸻
Both are extremely effective and important to your overall health.

Please note to make appointments contact me on my business phone. The best way of contact is via text and State your name, including first and last. Also, please leave a good callback number and we will always get back with you promptly.

Have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,
Elisha Sharp, MMP, LMT, RMT

I am scheduled to resume full-time office duties next week. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law succumbed to a courageous battle with aggressive cancer yesterday, and our family has been taking private time to grieve and cope. She stayed a true warrior.
This week will be dedicated to visitation and funeral services. Your advance thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. We have peace with our Lord and Savior, she is now free from suffering. Her love for God was Unconditional. Your prayers will continue to support us through our grief. God bless you all. 🙏🏼🤍

UPDATE: I will not be in the office for the next week or two. We have family matters that take high priority.
I will re-start scheduling when I return. I have a few people I will be working on in between that are in dire physical pain. Those, I will reach out to that have spoken with me as time permits.
All I ask is for your patience, prayers 🙏🏼 for peace and comfort for the past days, present day and the days to come we are facing covering my precious and loving family. Let thy will be done, Lord with mercy and grace. God bless you all.
With love, Elisha 🕊️🙏🏼

Good Beautiful Afternoon!
I want to thank each and everyone of you for the prayers you’ve sent my Mom’s way, while I have been taking full care of her helping from her first knee replacement operation. We’ve had some challenges along the way. It’s definitely not an operation for the weak. Then she caught a virus. After 2 plus weeks she’s starting to improve but we have worked hard. I am extremely proud of her!

I just may be back in next week as she continues to improve this week. I’ll be reaching out to you all and want to thank you all! You’ve really stuck with me through me breaking my ankle to helping Mom during this time back to back.

God teaches us patience is a virtue and it is. We are to help the ones we love. Provision comes.
I am so stinking ready to see all your beautiful faces starting next week!! God bless you all and thank you!!! 🙏🏼 🩷

It’s my true passion for helping others that keep me going in this career. I highly respect my client’s privacy and get many wonderful feedbacks. This was only after 1 session each for a couple. I’ll see you soon. I ask permission to post. I don’t post them all but when it touches my heart strings of what I never thought God would call me to do… I mean come on.. I worked in government for almost 25 years and sat in Capitol murder cases. Saw the worse of the worse the last 7 years of it and I thank God for pulling me out so I could get the humanity side back into me and start seeing the light and good once again. I have 3 degrees with the highest honors… the last lead me in a career I questioned God are you sure? It was a definite YES!! We are vessels through education, empathy and complete knowledge to heal. We go through the process of the medical field in taking State, National exams that are not easy. I cried when I passed mine the FIRST TIME. Many don’t. We also take state law tests and are fingerprinted by the FBI. Not local authorities. Many people do NOT realize this. We are also mandated reporters.
Does our career take a toll on our own bodies? Yes. It is Then we need to reset and take care of us… which I don’t do enough and am going to work on that. Is it worth it? More than you know!! I truly thank God every day I can make a difference in any way I can to help one’s healing journey. This isn’t the first time I’ve been called magic hands… I didn’t come up with it. I just remind them I’m merely a vessel. 🙏🏼🤍🙌… If I do more self care then I can do more and more for others. Thank you to everyone that has entrusted in me in taking care of you. I won’t stop. I may need breaks here and there but I will never stop. God bless you all!
