They stretch, massage, and strengthen their muscles in order to perform their best. Any other profession isn't that much different.

January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month!
You can wear blue throughout the month of January to bring awareness to human trafficking.

What Impact does Human Trafficking have on victims/survivors?

* Victims/survivors can go through trauma and PTSD, which can destroy a victims’ fundamental assumptions about the safety of the world and the positive value of themselves.
* Disruption of relationships. Victims/survivors are isolated from their friends and family and they’re isolated from perspectives other than their own. Recovering from a destroyed sense of relationships is often one of the largest obstacles of healing.
* Physical Health Consequences. Victims/survivors can go through neurological issues, chronic pain, injuries, and cardiovascular disorders. Survivors of s*x trafficking experience higher rates of STIs including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.
* Financial, Community, and Family Stressors. Feelings of shame can impede survivors from seeking support from their families or community members. Survivors may also have limited educational attainment due to having family instability.

Traffickers can also use these against their victims into recruiting them and keeping them.

This is why it’s important to spread awareness and to let other victims/survivors know that they aren’t going through these things alone.

If you believe that you, a loved one, or a stranger may be being trafficked, you can send a tip to the Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or Text 233733
You can also call us at 402-274-5092 and we can see how we can help.

The best way to maintain good physical health is prevention. Symptom-free does not necessarily mean the muscles aren't tight or the skeletal system is not misaligned. Injuries become worse when the muscles are spastic and when it is so, they pull on their skeletal attachments and misalign the structure producing pain. Regular treatments can prevent pain symptoms from occurring and injuries from becoming really bad ones. Visit www.mymassagemed.com for more info.
