PHILOSOPHY
As a massage therapist, my goals are to work with people to relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and tension, aid in the recovery of injury and help healthy people feel even better. I enjoy communicating with clients before a massage to insure their specific reason for seeking massage therapy will be addressed. Because no two clients are the same and because massage is such a broad term all massages are different. The techniques used will vary greatly. During a massage session there are several modalities which can be employed; everything from Swedish relaxation techniques which calm and sooth to deep trigger point work which releases stored toxins and aids in pain relief.
Therapeutic Massage is bodywork which addressed the physical body and can also greatly effect our emotions. Massage allows not only the body to facilitate healing but the mind as well.
