Breast Cancer Massage

Hi Everyone,

Many of you have heard me talk about Alyssa Hullinger …(she has alot of initials but I don’t have her card here:))…she is our only oncologically certified massage therapist in Brevard.  You also know that I don’t randomly throw names out there for resources unless I checked them out myself….and I did.  I have known Alyssa for about 6 years and yes, shame on me I didn’t take time to go get a massage before this, but I finally did!!  I had some numbness in my upper arm and onto my breast area since I had a mastectomy 10 years ago…..and like everyone else, I thought it was just what I was going to have to “deal with” as a result of breast cancer….but no!!  There is help!   I went to Alyssa for my first massage and after she did a very thorough evaluation of my medical history, we got started.   Purposely I did not tell her of any areas particularly bothersome ….but she found them…and I no longer have numbness in that area after a few massages…..but here is the thing….she is going to come to Driven by Heart and teach you and your  “person” how to do effective relaxing techniques at home…it isn’t a body massage but focuses on relaxation and comfort.   We have limited space because she is the only one teaching but I think it is going to be awesome and if you love it, we will do it again!!

And….we are going to start blogging regularly….so watch for all kinds of random thoughts and information and probably some laughing.

Have a great day, keep warm

Sherry
