RAPID- is a type of massage that treats aches and pains by focusing on the nerves rather than muscle tissue. It's a lotion-free technique, so the client remains clothed, and the treatment is movement-based.
When you feel pain, that sensation is coming from nerves that are excessively sensitive. When the brain processes this sensory information it reacts by kicking off an inflammatory response to start healing: your immune cells come flushing in and cause swelling to occur to protect and clean the area, but sometimes they aren't flushed out and end up contributing more to that increased nerve sensitivity. The body then reacts by locking down tissues, causing a cascade effect starting with muscle tightness and restriction, weakness, compensatory movements, bad movement habits and even more pain.
The purpose of RAPID is to reset nerve hypersensitivity back to neutral. RAPID works by exciting the nerves again to re-create that inflammatory process but make it better: it increases tissue hydration to allow them to slide and glide again, it cleans out the cells that are causing hypersensitivity to the nerves, and it activates the body's natural morphine's for pain relief. The intensity of the technique along with the client's active movements allows the body to downgrade pain and reprogram sensory information processed by the brain.
RAPID- can be used on just about everyone: from babies to pregnant woman to to the elderly, from super active athletes to those with more sedentary lifestyles. The intensity of the treatment is adjusted to each client, and modifications can easily be made for mobility issues.
RAPID treatments are designed to be more intense than traditional massage. Sensitivity to "PAIN" can change throughout the day, so their will be lots of communication to ensure you don't get overwhelmed.
