Swollen arms and legs are a large and treatable part of a post-cancer ... London Free Press
Several years after her cancer treatment, Dr. Dianne Kipnes noticed serious and persistent swelling in her lower limbs. "My legs and feet were swollen to the point where you could hardly see my knees," she says. When it didn't go away and was finally diagnosed as lymphedema, Kipnes, a clinical psychologist and president of the Dianne and Irving Kipnes Foundation in Edmonton, became increasingly frustrated: She discovered there was no cure and very little available treatment to keep her condition under control.
She's not alone in that frustration. A 2009 study by the Canadian Lymphedema Framework found a lack of standardized care for patients in Canada, no provincial health coverage, a lack of resources for assessment and treatment and a real need to teach lymphedema prevention and self-management.
According to Dr. Anna Towers, who runs a lymphedema clinic at Montreal's McGill University Health Centre, lymphedema is an accumulation of lymphatic fluids that occurs when there is removal of, disruption or damage to lymph nodes or vessels, usually following surgery or radiation treatment for cancer.

what color would you recommend me to paint a room that I am going to use to give massage treatment for people?
with artritis or just in need of a relaxing massage. I am a quirofisics which is similar to quiropratic.
soft pastel colors
Green - Nature's color, calming and gently energizing at the same time. Green is a harmonizing and balancing color for those in need of refreshment. Think rolling meadows, grass, the freshness of spring and summer leaves, sage, pine, celery, lettuce. And always remember that fresh potted plants are a perfect way to bring green into any room.
Blue - Soothing, meditative, restful, peaceful, spiritual. Lowers blood pressure. Think cloudless skies, deep waters, sapphire, lapis lazuli, azure, cerulean.
Purple - Comfort, protection, spirituality, calm. Think royal purple velvet, wizard capes, plums, clusters of ripe grapes.
Lavender or Violet - Healing, calming. Think fields of French lavender and sweet-scented violets.

Massage rooms I have seen were all off-white or an earth tone. Much more color than that and people start to have unconscious associations with rooms from their past.
Good Luck, whatever color you choose.
Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward All,
;-)
Pink (not bright) which is pale or deep, Blue (the book shows a beautiful navy blue), Green (book shows a pale lettuce green paint & another room with apple green) and Purple (both light & dark). Either pastels or deep colors. Soft lighting & soft music.
Green is believed to stimulate growth - which is not best for massage. Earth tones are a good choice if they are soft and subdued. Avoid dark colors, they always make a room look smaller and if you have any clostrophobic clients even a large room, if painted dark, can make them uncomfortable.
Whatever color you go with, accent the room with art the relates to you - healing, soothing, peaceful pieces.
Whats the best massage treatment for a pinched nerve?
Whats the best massage treatment for a pinched nerve , neck shoulder and shoulder blade area ?
you would have to go under a full assessment before anyone could treat your problem. The therapist would have to develop a treatment plan for you that would work best. This isn't a quick fix, the therapist would need to do tests to determine what nerve is affected and what is compressing it. Once that is figured out, a treatment plan can be implemented by a registered massage therapist. Do NOT apply heat unless instructed by the therapist, it can and will likely irritate the area and cause painful sensations in the surrounding area. Do NOT have deep muscular massage as suggested in a previous answer. If this is treated incorrectly it can cause permenant or long lasting problems.
Get a small towel, wet and wring it, put it in the microwave for 2 minutes and when you take it out (watch it's hot!) put it in a plastic bag and place it on your sore neck/shoulder. Let it cool down to a comfy temperature so it doesn't burn. Those two things are really the best for the first day or two, then add a heating rub and gentle massage when it starts to feel a bit better. It will stiffen so remember to do the heat to relax it.
How common is it for male masseurs to offer sexual release to female clients as part of the massage treatment?
For male massage therapists to do that, its very uncommon. If they do, it just means they are really not practicing massage as a form of therapy but prostitution.
I am not sure if the number and population of massage therapists (male or female) that practice that is documented.

Should I invest on a good foundation cream, powder and concealer OR protein+massage treatment for my dry hair
I'm on a tight budget, so I can only choose one!
If it were me, I'd go with the makeup. Bad skin ALWAYS looks worse than bad hair. Plus - I'm not convinced that one treatment on your hair with remedy your problem. I would invest in really good makeup - get good advice, go to MAC and Bobby Brown and test everything out.
I can recommend some great hair treatments that may not cost as much as your protein treatment - try Phyto, a little known brand that does some amazing conditioners and masks for your hair. I personally use (strange, i know) Bio-oil in my hair over night and rinse it off in the morning - really hydrates the hair!!
If you have split ends, you could probably do with a cut and the best thing for girls on a budget is to go to all the best hair salons in your area and ask if any of them need hair models for training. They then discuss the cuts that they need to do and match this with what you want, you get a fab hair cut and it's usually either free or costs very little - best part of this is that the cut has to be perfect as the hairdresser will be being assessed on it! Toni and Guy are always needing models.
So yeah, go for the makeup!!
hope this helps x
What has to happen to get insurance companies to recognize massage therapy as a medical treatment?
My husband has had many treatments (that don't help and are very costly ) for his back injury for over a year now. The only relief he gets is from massage therapy, which costs $35.00/ 1/2hr. This is a cost we pay out of our pocket-twice, sometimes three times a week.
I mean legislatively anyway. We live in Michigan
I wish insurance would get up to date with this already, because it's taking too long for it to happen. Some insurance companies cover it, but if you call and ask them they will tell you they don't. I went through this with my current insurance. Then I called a Chiropractor's office that does massage and they called my insurance and found out that the insurance will pay for the specific billing code that is used for massage. I have muscle problems that is relieved if I go for a 1 hour massage a week. But since they told me they didn't cover it previously, I was going for physical therapy 3 times a week, with my insurance paying $240 for each visit. And once a week at therapy, they do a 10 minute massage and bill the insurance and extra $120. It makes no sense to me why the insurance would rather pay this amount for physical therapy instead of $60 for an hour massage. They may figure it out someday how much money it can save them. You should check if your insurance covers any Chiropractic costs. If so, you can find an office that does massage and have them check with the insurance to see if they cover it. Sorry about the long answer, but hopefully you can get some kind of help from your insurance with this.
Has anyone ever fallen asleep & snored during a spa treatment like a massage or facial? Do you think its rude?
Friends tell me its tacky that I do this & the worker probably doesn't finish the treatment (I snore really loud with my mouth open). I don't think it should be a big deal.
i have fallen asleep during a massage but i was in school for it at the time. people fall asleep while im giving them a massage all the time. i dont think its rude. in fact it makes me feel good that i was able to relax my client enough to fall asleep. no one that i know would cut your treatment short because of it and if one of us did your body would probably be able to tell you anyway. so dont worry about it. falling asleep relaxes the body and it all works together so if you want to fall asleep go for it bc its kind of a compliment.
Which would you prefer??? The spa type or a warming clinic for a good massage treatment?
I personally prefer to go to someones home to get my massages. More private and relaxing. Plus it is usually less expensive.
Headaches - Would/have you gone to a Massage Therapist for treatment of a headache?
Have you ever experienced chronic headaches or migraines or other bad headaches and gone to have a massage to treat it? Maybe for TMJ conditions?
If so - do you remember where in your head (or face or neck) you felt the headache?
Do you recall what sorts of techniques or treatments they performed?
Was it helpful? Would you go again?
What made you think to go have a massage? Did anyone refer you or was it your idea?
I'm a massage therapy student and wondering about the public's general awareness or perception of massage treatment in the arena of headaches & migraines.
Thanks!
Anne - sorry for the "lingo" :)
T.M.J. = Temporal-Mandibular Joint
Basically, where your jaw meets your skull... the axis that allows you to open and close your mouth. A lot of people have troubles with the muscles allowing this movement or with the joint parts themselves (articular disc & ligaments, etc.). It's the cause of a lot of headaches!
I'm a MT student too. We learned about headache treatment last semester. Not sure if your school is teaching you TMJ disorder treatment (inside the mouth), but if it doesn't make you queasy and you won't cover it in school, I highly recommend continuing education if you're thinking about specializing in headache care. You can market yourself to local orthodontists and dentists, because TMJ disorder is one of those chronic conditions for which treatment is often elusive.
Several years ago, I had one massage when I was just starting to get a migraine aura (often triggered by TMJ for me) and I told the MT about it. She spent lots of extra time working fascial tissue in my face, as well as around my TMJ, although she didn't work inside the mouth. I left there and never did get the migraine that I was sure was imminent.
I never made the correlation until last semester when we discussed headache treatment. Now, I ask my classmates for a head massage when I have a headache.
How often should I recieve massage treatments?
I looked up the benefits of massage therapy and it seems there are several. The one thing I noticed is that it helps with depression, which I suffer from. I do not take medication and would not like to. That being said, how often should I go for massages? If anyone has experience in the field or frequently gets massages could help, I'd appreciate it.
There are more correlational studies supporting the idea that regular massage sessions can help decrease the symptoms associated with clinical depression. Unfortunately, I have no direct references to support this claim. However, after speaking with a psychiatrist, who within the last year, visited a national educational convention, stated hearing many references to research that supports this concept. Some of the benefits included the regulation of seratonin levels and the decrease of stress-linked sterols in the bloodstream. Most people reported a better sense of well-being in general. These subjects may have received one hour massages once per week for 8-10 weeks. However, once every two weeks should still be effective.
