Even though a number of clients come to my practice for relaxation and stress reduction, most seek relief from physical restriction and/or pain.
Some might classify my work as medical massage or clinical massage.
The techniques I use support the idea that our muscles and bones comprise a sophisticated system of pulleys and levers.
I've found that analyzing and treating problems using this model can be very effective in addressing issues of pain and diminished range of motion.
Typically, sessions may include combinations of myofascial release, neuromuscular work, deep tissue and various stretching and lengthening techniques.

A unique feature of the Comfort Craft table is that it provides a mid-lift split.
Compared to a flat table, this configuration is not only more comfortable for the client but it allows better access to the low back.
The mid-lift split also facilitates effective stretching of the lateral torso and of the abdominal and chest muscles.
Shown here at a full 45 degree split, most clients do quite well with only 10 to 20 degrees of split.
In fact, providing just 10 degrees of split while in a face down position takes pressure off of the low back, allowing you to relax and gain maximum therapeutic effect.
