“Massage”…Just the sound of the word has the power to begin a relaxation response in one who has the good fortune to receive regular bodywork treatment. Relaxation, though not to be underrated, is not all there is to massage! Other benefits include:
- Rehabilitation following injury or surgery
- Elimination or ease of chronic pain
- Elimination of headaches
- Improved circulation
- Reduction or elimination of swelling (edema)
- Improved athletic performance through increased range of motion and flexibility
- Bolstering of the body’s natural immune response
- Psychological benefits such as stress reduction, improved body image, lowered anxiety and alleviation or lessening of symptoms of depression.
In my practice as a massage therapist, I draw on both eastern and western traditions. Neuromuscular massage, myofascial techniques, lymphatic drainage, shiatsu, Swedish massage and kinesiotaping are just some of the modalities I may use to help you achieve your goal/s. My aim is to find the right treatment or combination of treatments to assist you. Whether it is stress reduction, the elimination of chronic pain, healing from an injury or increasing performance, I am honored to have the opportunity to help you reach your goal!
