A Personal Note from Steve Akamine, Licensed Honolulu Medical Massage TherapistClinical Massage - Medical Massage is not a guessing game. Each and every person is a unique individual with unique soft tissue Chronic Pain Syndrome issues that require different treatment plans with different soft tissue techniques, different medical massage techniques, and different levels of pressure. Most Massage Therapists these days use a cookie cutter approach with their clients, without even conducting a Pain Assessment at all. These same Massage Therapists claim that they are Clinical Massage Therapists or Medical Massage Therapists and that they are capable of treating or resolving soft tissue problems. How can that be? They must either be psychic, or really good guessers, right? I don’t think so. Stretching or rubbing the area that hurts is not always the answer to the problem, and can make things worse.Symptomatic Pain Relief is the result when a Pain Assessment is not done. Unfortunately, chronic pain sufferers whom see these so-called Medical Massage Therapists are lucky to achieve anything beyond symptomatic relief of their suffering. They feel good for an hour or two or a day or two, but nothing beyond that. Chronic Pain sufferers deserve better. I have been a chronic pain sufferer, so I know exactly how it feels to never have lasting relief. I also know how it feels to be shuttled from provider to provider because no one has taken the time to do ALL of the Pain Assessment Testing that need to be done, and has conducted treatment based upon those tests. So what happens? Chronic Pain sufferers keep suffering and run out of treatment options fast, real fast.Pain Assessment is critical to discovering the nature of the problem and how to treat it. People with chronic pain problems have done enough suffering already. They don’t need some so-called Medical Massage Therapist to take their hard earned money and waste their precious time. People with soft tissue Chronic Pain problems whom see me can take comfort in the fact that I will conduct a Pain Assessment, and then perform their treatment based upon the results of that Assessment. No guesswork here. I conduct proven Assessment testing with proven soft tissue techniques in a comprehensive customized treatment plan for each and every person.Proven clinical massage techniques plus Cutting edge medical massage techniques are important factors of a solid treatment plan. I am one of the few Licensed Massage Therapists in the State of Hawaii that has successfully completed the 5 fundamental levels of the Paul St John method of Neuromuscular Therapy. Neuromuscular Therapy is one of the most effective Pain Management and Pain Relief Systems in the World, and focuses extensively upon Trigger Point Therapy as a foundation for the treatment of soft tissue dysfunction. Additionally, I have been able to learn, adapt and apply an ever-increasing repertoire of effective and cutting edge soft tissue techniques such as Muscle Energy Technique, and Positional Release.Pain Assessment plus an effective treatment plan equals results! I am one of the very few Medical Massage therapists in Honolulu who can successfully utilize these advanced techniques to treat pain patterns caused by ischemia, soft tissue dysfunction, postural distortion, nerve compression and entrapment, trigger points, and biomechanical dysfunction. It's a real pleasure to be able to help people live happy, pain-free lives.
