About Time Massage
Therapy was created in January, 1997 by Tami Kandarian upon her completion of a 735-hour therapeutic massage training course.
Tami had chosen the therapeutic massage field after experiencing the relief therapeutic massage can give first hand.
In
October, 1991, Tami sustained a serious trauma to the neck after falling down a flight of stairs. After nine months of continuous migraine headaches
with swelling and pain in her left arm, an exam and MRI concluded she had sustained cervical disc herniations at two levels
causing pressure on nerve roots.
For the next four years she sought help from various doctors and physical therapy programs without much relief
from the constant pain she was experiencing. She was finally able to locate a pain management physician who added therapeutic
massage to her treatment protocol. When the therapist performed massage to her neck, shoulder and arm Tami knew immediately
this was the treatment that would make a difference and begin her recovery.
The lengthy diagnostic process and road to relief inspired
Tami to learn how to help herself. She was also moved to help others that were experiencing chronic post injury pain.
For a second time, this experience changed her life and she entered the training program at Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College
in May, 1996.
Since
then Tami has expanded her knowledge base through continuing education, self study and hands on experience. She
has worked in various environments including pain management facilities, chiropractic offices, corporate settings and provides in-home
services to individuals. She has helped hundreds of clients with a broad range of health care concerns including post
injury recovery, fibromyalgia, arthritis, Parkinson’s, thorasic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome and chronic
stress.
In addition to her medical applications Tami has also formed
Infinite Intentions®, a division that utilizes modalities
for healing the emotional and spiritual aspect of injury and illness. I.I. explores
applications such as aromatherapy, Reiki and energy medicine. Tami also produces her own aromatherapy blends.
