Vision Through Touch
Pam Jamison, LMT
I left my job as a Payroll/Benefits Administrator in 2000 due to a progressive eye disease called Retinitus Pigmentosa, which has taken most of my vision. During that time I homeschooled my children and began a quest to learn more about the benefits of physical fitness and proper nutrition in an attempt to heal myself from many undiagnosed ailments. Through educating myself and from the encouragement of many great fitness programs, I began to feel better, mentally and physically. My desire then took a whole new approach. If I can do that for myself I would love to help others heal themselves as well. I did some volunteer work encouraging and coaching others in fitness and nutrition, and also working with a local chiropractor. I soon took interest in the benefits of massage as another means to healing our bodies. Through prayer and much contemplation I finally realized that Massage Therapy is where I’m meant to be. I graduated from Omaha Blue Waves Massage and Bodywork Education Center and became licensed shortly after. Helping others heal, find relief from pain and stress and even just have a time of pampering has become my passion. I will always continue to educate myself on new techniques and ways to grow.
What is massage and what does it mean to you?
Before I became interested in fitness, nutrition and chiropractic, I thought of massage as something that only women did to pamper themselves. I did not realize the healing properties of massage and that it could be healing for men, women, and children of all ages, from infant to elderly. Not something that is done just for relaxation, but also pain relief, stress and tension relief, pre athletic event preparation, post event relief, and so much more.
Massage Therapy is a type of treatment in which a trained and licensed professional manipulates the soft tissue of your body (muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin) using varying degrees of pressure and movement.
Massage is generally considered an important part of complementary and integrative care.
Studies of the benefits of massage show that it’s effective for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.
