See, my dad had back issues for most of his life. But when I was a young teen, he seriously injured his back in a work accident, and that changed everything. He had to leave his job, deal with worker’s comp, and go through multiple surgeries. Like so many others back in the early 2000’s, he was prescribed Oxycontin, and just like that, years of his life were lost to opioid addiction.

After he finally broke free from the addiction, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist—partly to help him manage his pain without relying on drugs.

But here’s the thing—massage didn’t really help much. Sure, it might give some relief for a day or two, maybe even a week, but the pain always came back, just as strong as before.

I knew there had to be a better way, something that could actually make a difference. Watching him suffer was unbearable, not just for me, but for my mom and everyone who cared about him.

That’s when I found RAPID. This amazing Canadian technique isn’t about just rubbing muscles; it’s based on cutting-edge science and targets pain—especially the chronic, stubborn kind that doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists often struggle to treat.

So now, I’m a RAPID therapist. I help people in pain move freely again, without the constant ache, so they—and their loved ones—can enjoy life again.
