About Thera Jordan, RMT

I am a current member of the Massage Therapy Association of Saskatchewan. 

I was a clerical employee for the Government of Saskatchewan prior to becoming an RMT.  I did not worry about proper posture or taking adequate breaks.  I was more interested in just getting the job done.  Even when I decided to become a Massage Therapist, I did not focus on self care and proper posture.  

I ended up hurting my neck pretty bad.  I constantly held my head forward while treating clients, and also while playing games on my phone or getting sucked into social media. I broke my neck.  I squashed some disks & pinched nerves into my hand and thumb.  I was a mess.    

The Doctor wanted to schedule me for surgery.  He wanted to put a cage into my neck, to rearrange the vertebrae and gap the joints so that the disks would stop squishing my nerves.  

I thought to myself "UM NOPE".   

I decided to try having a Chiropractor put my neck back into proper alignment, and then exercise to strengthen and stretch the muscles to help keep the proper alignment.  

Guess what?!   I totally fixed myself!  Well Chrio helped, but I have worked hard with Yoga and Self Massage to keep my balanced alignment.  I am pain free, med free and surgery free.  YAYAYAYAY

In my 10+ years as a Massage Therapist, and having to treat myself,  I believe I have learned techniques to make a 'deep tissue', 'therapeutic' treatment as comfortable, if not relaxing, as possible.  Using a combination of modalities, I have learned to ease into and flush the tissue in order to soften cramping, tight, sore muscles to help to realign postural imbalances that may be causing discomfort.  

I have had the pleasure to work alongside various types of professionals in a clinic setting, including Massage Therapists practicing different Modalities, Acupuncturist, Osteopaths, My Chiropractor, My Physio Therapist and Naturopaths.  I have had the privilege to learn different ailments the body might suffer and different techniques in helping it to heal. 

The Pandemic forced that I work from Home.  I am loving it.  Working from home gives me time to take care of myself.  Taking proper care of myself helps to help take better care of YOU!  I am so very grateful that I was forced into working from home.  Sometimes a crisis sets us on a path we didn't know was right for us. 

I have a curiosity for knowledge about the human body to help to take better care of myself and to always provide the most effective care I possibly can. I have the intention of providing you with a holistic, balanced treatment,  taking advantage of the body's innate ability to heal itself.   

I have taken Yin Yoga and Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Trainer courses to help increase the understanding of the body and techniques on how to help heal it.  I have found a few wonderful Yoga Teachers online.  I am constantly learning from these wonderful Ladies and encourage you to take a peek.

The human body is magnificent in its ability to create life and to heal itself.  I believe that in order to achieve best results, Massage Therapy requires a joint effort between therapist and client.  You, I, we all live in our own bodies ALL the time so I may send you home with some suggestions on which YouTube videos to check out.  Animals give their bodies a little stretch as soon as they stand up. We as humans seem to forget this nifty little life hack….   

I look forward to meeting and working with you, hoping to make a positive change!  Click to book an appointment here.
