Treatment gives welcome relief

The Northern Sentinel, Kitimat, BC (June 1, 2005 P. 10)

At the hands of a unique type of massage therapy called myofascial release, thhree Kitimat residents gave brief accounts of the relief they experienced from their chronic pain which had them singing the praises of Linda Sangwine, a Registered Massage Therapist from Vancouver who performed the treatment.


Kitimatian Michele Murdoch shared the costs with Sangwine to fly her to town for a three-day workshop recently. Murdoch - herself the beneficary of treatments that gave her relief from injuries sustained following a severe trcuk accident years ago - says the benefits to the people outweighed the price of the round-trip ticket.

"If I can sum it up, there wasn't one person that was unhappy," said Murdoch. Everbody left here estatic."


John Bartram, Sherrie Gutfreund and Nancy McNab all underwent treatments and experienced welcomed relief from chronic hip and shoulder pain, as well as relief from headaches and improved circulation from myofascioal release.


Myofascial release combines stretching and massage techniques as a therapist works to release tension from fascia, which are fibrous bands of connective tissue. Release comes from creating open pathways in the fascia and relieves connective tissue problems.


Bartram said that before going to Sangwine, his entire body ached, he had poor circulation in his feet and hands and a sore hip.


"After my first session with Linda, the circulation returned to both my feet and hands," said Bartram "My feet aren't cold anymore and the stiffness has gone out of my hands."


Bartram even experienced additional relief from his treatments. "I haven't had a headache for a week now," he said, and added normally I get one every couple of days, and my right hip feels much better."
