Pain Sucks Episode 010 – Pain Management and Massage Therapy with Kate London


Listen Later

Kate London is the founder and owner of London Recover Institute in Geneva, IL.

London Recovery is a multi-therapy clinic focused on getting to the root cause of pain. 

Unlike most Massage Therapy Kate believes that her role is to peel back the layers to get the systems of the body communicating again.  Including the Gut, the Immune System, the Nervous System, and the Muscles and Joints Systems.

She explained to us that the body is not making mistakes and because of that therapists have to be cautions and thorough in finding out what the true causes of pain are.

Generally, she finds that the patterns and muscles that don’t have pain are actually the cause of the pain and need to be addressed.

Anytime you do something to the body expect that something else is being undone.  Always a push and pull effect so pay attention.

She encouraged us to look carefully for a therapist interested in looking from head to toe and not quick to do the same “massage or treatment” on each person. 

Many times, clients and patients are not ready for treatment because they are too wired with anxiety or emotional imbalance and that needs to handled first.

Healing discs that she recommends are adhesives that change the energetic output of the damaged tissues.  In fact, they have the ability to lower the energy of the body’s inflammatory and communication systems so that the tissue can be at rest. 

Kinesiotaping is a big part of her practice and she recommended it to us for the following reasons

  1. Inflammatory help due to its pre stretched state that causes osmosis below the skin for healing fluids
  2. Slight stability properties
  3. Input to the brain from the skin receptors can lower the pain “sensation”

YouTube has great videos on self-taping and tape can be bought at the local stores

Kate encouraged those in pain to find therapists who also have kinesiology degrees or physical therapy backgrounds including applied kinesiology. 

Multiple tools also help including the discs and the taping. 

Call and ask about the therapist’s experience and styles before committing to care.
