**Shanna Wighton, RMT** most commonly treats patients with chronic neck and shoulder pain, headaches, whiplash, low back pain, tendonitis, and overuse injuries such as plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder or tennis elbow. Specific conditions that Shanna has treated recently are: * Concussion caused by a car accident. * Chronic sinus infections. * Neuralgia (altered sensation) in the arm and shoulder. * TMJ dysfunction due to chronic clenching of the jaw. * Chronic pain and dysfunction in the lower leg due to a crush injury. Shanna has a strong skill set for treating patients with chronic pain. From personal experience she is well aware of the life changing impact of a long term pain condition. One of Shanna’s strengths is her palpation skills. With chronic pain cases, a very specific and appropriate depth of pressure is required. Shanna’s practice includes a combination of slow rhythmical relaxation techniques, complex myofascial stretches, and deeper therapeutic modalities. Her practice may include techniques such as: * Deep tissue massage. * Trigger point therapy. * Muscle energy techniques. * Joint mobilizations. * Craniosacral techniques. Before training to become a massage therapist, Shanna earned a Child and Youth Care Degree from Malaspina University-College and worked as a counselor for youth at risk. She has a deep understanding of the complex relationships between physical, emotional and psychological stress. **In Her Own Words** “The patient is the expert since they have the most knowledge about their condition. My role is to give suggestions to help the patient formulate a health care plan and to achieve their goals.” “I strongly believe in treating holistically. I look at all aspects of a patient’s health and may make suggestions for self-care. I use a very wide range of tools to treat patients. Every patient is different, and everyone needs a different combination of techniques. I never treat exactly the same way twice.” “I work as a massage therapist because I enjoy meeting new people and taking on new challenges. As a RMT, I have the amazing opportunity to create positive change in another person’s life.”
