 Injury Rehab &Pain Management

Whether you have been in Chronic Pain for years or are recovering

from a more acute situation such as a Recent Injury, Surgery,

Car Accident or Work-Related or Sports Injury –

At Diamond Massage & Wellness Center, we specialize in pain management, injury rehabilitation and functional training.

What that means, is we:

   • Get You Out Of Pain

   • Improve Your Ability To Move Your Body With Less Stress & Strain

   • Teach You Easy Secrets To Improve Your Posture

   • Educate You On Proper Biomechanics (How to lift, bend, sit, work, etc)

You Will:

   • Have Less Pain            • Move More Freely   • Sleep Better  

   • Breathe Better             • Digest Better         • Live better!

For rehabilitation we primarily use a therapy program called

Active Myofascial Therapy™ – The Diamond Method. (AMT)

developed by Diamond Massage & Wellness Center’s director Irene Diamond along with Orthopedic Massage and Therapeutic Exercise.

We have had great results with these common injuries,

dysfunctions and pain syndromes:

   • Whiplash                                          • Shoulder Impingement / Frozen Shoulder

   • Headaches & Migraines                     • Carpal Tunnel

   • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome                 • Plantar Fasciitis

   • Poor Posture                                    • Shin Splints

If you don’t know if you have any of these conditions, a thorough exam by a qualified healthcare practitioner is necessary to receive a diagnosis. But even if you don’t have an ‘official’ diagnosis, and are experiencing any of these common symptoms listed below you will experience pain relief, symptom relief and improved function by receiving our Rehabilitation Therapy!

Some Common Symptoms We Can Address:

   • Numbness                                      • Tingling

   • Weakness                                       • Cold hands or Feet

   • Pain                                                • Aches or Throb

   • Pins and needles                              • Headaches

   • Inability to Concentrate                     • Dizzyness

   • Limited Range of Motion of a joint      • Inability To Get Comfortable

   • Sleep Interruption                             • Fatigue

We are not physical therapists, but rather Exercise Therapists and Rehabilitation Therapists. (In California there is a difference in the licensure)

If you choose to have us work with you, we use a combination of Active Myofascial Therapy – The Diamond Method, Therapeutic Exercise and Orthopedic Massage.

With a doctor’s prescription we can bill your insurance if it is through California Workers Compensation or most Automobile insurance. Major medical carriers such as Blue Cross, Aetna,  Medicare and Medical will not be covered, but of course if you have any questions regarding your particular case, please don’t hesitate to call us.

The longer you continue to live in pain …the harder it is to take care of the problem. You are smart to start therapy as soon as possible.

AMT Therapy Structure:

AMT is designed to work fast to eliminate your pain and improve your function

as effectively as possible!

Therefore it is highly recommended you start with the Accelerated Package which includes a thorough Initial Evaluation, plus three additional therapy sessions.

The Initial Evaluation is suggested so we can determine exactly what is going on with your body: what your range of motion is, muscular strength, postural assessment, discuss therapies you have tried in the past, etc, and then based on these results, we design a full therapy plan which will give you the quickest pain relief and the most comprehensive improvements.

The additional three sessions may include any combination of AMT such as the manual therapy, Actions (AMT’s exclusive style of therapeutic exercise), postural education, sleep education, ergonomic education, manual and mechanical traction, and heat and/or ice therapy.

At the conclusion of the Accelerated Package, you should see a marked improvement in your condition. You will also feel confident in what you will be doing to maintain your ‘new and improved’ condition, such as knowing how and when to do the Actions, how to maintain your posture, strength and flexibility.

Although it is not recommended, if the full Accelerated Package is not something you can afford now due to scheduling or budget needs, you will still benefit from seeing an Active Myofascial Therapist for one or two Individual Appointments. The therapist will perform a quick assessment and provide the therapy he or she feels would benefit you the most.

We can even get you in for a "half session" just so you can see if you 'click' with the therapy - A Try-Before-You-Buy, if you will. - You should know right away if this method is for you!

AMT Scheduling:

Initial Evaluation appointments are performed by our director, Irene Diamond and due to the popularity and success of the therapy, it is usually necessary to book your appointment up to a month or more in advance.

The Accelerated Package which includes the Initial Evaluation plus three sessions should be scheduled close together with a day or two in-between. (for example, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday)

If additional individual appointments are needed they are scheduled on an as needed basis, depending on your condition and specific situation.

To Be Considered For Therapy:

Simply put - Irene Diamond does not work with everyone who wants to come in. People experience the best results when they are committed to doing their part. If you don’t have the time, energy, or ability to do the simple exercises, postural changes or other ‘homework’ she suggests, please do not contact us for therapy.

If you would like her to consider taking you on as a client please call us to discuss your condition.

We will look at your situation and determine whether or not Active Myofascial Therapy™ – The Diamond Method or our other rehabilitation therapies are appropriate for you,
