News & Notes

Jim Carranti: The benefits of Orthopedic Massage

Massage provides more than just the casual luxury of relaxation.  So says Jim Carranti, a Licensed Massage Therapist who maintains an office at 1416 East Genesee Street and another in Dewitt.

Among the many benefits of massage include relaxing muscle contractions, spasms, and general body tension, improving circulation, hastening the elimination of toxins, overcoming muscle fatigue, improving muscle tone, lessening imflammation and alleviating pain.

Orthopedic massage, in which Jim specializes, differs from spa massages commonly offered in places like Mirbeau.  Spa treatment is generalized and offered primarily for the purpose of relaxation.  Orthopedic massage is usually offered to those who have recently suffered an injury or are suffering from chronic pain of some sort.  The goal of the Orthopedic massage is to interrupt this pain cycle.  His techniques relax and stretch the muscles to help them heal. 

His therapies are covered under Workers Comp and No Fault, but are not covered under traditional insurance plans because it is considered ‘alternative medicine.’  This prevents many from considering it as an option, Jim says.

Jim was a biology major in college but decided to pursue his career in Orthopedic massage before finishing.  He spent 13 months of intensive training at the Onondaga School of Massage learning every muscle, joint, bone, nerve and the pathology of different injuries.  He has also attended seminar training with a massage therapist who formerly worked for the Yankees.

         Jim can be reached at 427-8423.

 

Syracuse City Rotary drafting Club support for B-ball tourney

Carol Bildstein of the Syracuse Inner City Rotary Club visited our club this week seeking our club’s support for its annual Hoops for Peace basketball tournament.

Hoops for Peace was founded three years ago as part of an effort to improve graduation rates among city youth.  The event partners with Syracuse University and the Hamilton Street Boys & Girls Club.  Boys and Girls ages 11 to 15 are eligible to participate.  Teams compete in games from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday from March 1 and April 5.  The final four games are held at Manley Field House and on April 8, all participants are invited to participate in an end of the year ceremony at Hendricks Chapel.

The Syracuse club is looking for Rotarians to set aside one Saturday to come and cheer on  the kids.

For more information, contact Rachel Gazdick at 374-8860 or ragazdic@syr.edu.
