If a resolution does not occur in that time frame a person will be referred to another health care provider for further evaluation.

John Casciato - LMT John is another perfect example of how people find themselves in the field of helping others. John's hobby of competitive power lifting led him to see massage therapists and chiropractors to help mitigate the strain of the sport. Because of the amount of help this therapy has provided to him, he decided to pursue a career in it once he decided to take another life path from his then current career of construction and woodworking.. |
After completing massage therapy training and licensing, he noted that one of his instructors used different assessment and treatment techniques than he had learned and soon discovered the effectiveness of that modality. He immediately enrolled into another program for training in Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy and will graduate from that program in June of 2012. While he may not be available any longer to fix up your basement, he is now at your disposal to help fix your muscle discomfort. Once you meet him, we are sure you will understand why is great at his new career! |
