My approach to a pain relief massage is very different than an average massage because I only work on the areas related to your pain/injury. I combine modalities to unlock the soft tissue and Trigger Points that are responsible for your pain. You can't achieve pain relief with just one approach and medical massage is not one size fits all. The reason for this is that your soft tissue and muscles react differently to pain and become a variety of adhesions, tight muscles or fascia, knots, etc.

These issues are responsible for creating a cycle of pain and discomfort. I combine Trigger Point Therapy, Sports Massage Therapy, Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue to address the route cause of your pain and unlock the soft tissue. When you work with me, your session is very targeted to the areas where your pain originates and where it refers to, so it's not a relaxing full body spa massage, but at the same time, it's not excruciating.

I often assign homework, usually an icing program, but sometimes I'll give you stretches depending on where you are in your recovery.
Services
I want to help my clients get their life back.
Whether that is being able to lift a grocery bag or run a marathon, I strive to do the best I can to treat injuries and manage pain.
I want to see my clients progress in their recovery, not go on a hamster wheel where they are dependent on treatment to get through the week.
I don't believe in hoarding clients so that means that if you don't see improvement after a few sessions I will refer you to another modality that I think will be a better fit for you.
As I mentioned on the home page, your massage will be a combination of modalities which may include Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage Therapy and Myofascial Release.
The massage is similar to what you might experience at physical therapy when they do manual work, but I have the luxury of spending more than just a few minutes on your problem areas.
I also find the connections or pathways of dysfunction that you may not even be aware of, ultimately releasing the muscles and soft tissue from the origination site as well as from where you feel the pain.
Just wanted to share with you an experience I had tonight -- as I was almost finished eating my dinner, I realized that for the first time since I had that molar pulled, I was able to eat without pain on my left side.
Literally, I dropped my fork and thought to myself, "I can't believe I'm just now realizing that my jaw isn't hurting when I chew!" WOW!
On the Monday and Tuesday after my session with you, oh my gosh, I felt so much energy and felt so good, I haven't felt so good in a long time.
I was up early and ready to go, and had so much positive energy the whole day I was surprised and totally noticed a difference.

Trigger Points exist throughout our muscles, but unless activated, they do not cause any problems.
When a muscle is traumatized from an injury or physical or emotional stress, the Trigger Points become 'hot' or active.
The belly of the muscle forms an adhesion within the muscle fibers in response to the trauma and creates a 'knot.'

Some people think that massage therapy is only for relaxation and that it's really just a luxury, but that is not entirely true.
Massage therapy will definitely relax you, but there is so much going on physiologically during a massage you'll really be surprised at the many benefits you receive.
