Although I am not a licensed massage therapist, I am a physical therapy thoroughly trained in soft tissue massage. A massage with me may not look or feel the same as a massage with a LMT. However, what I can offer is:
- Variable pressure massage from deep to gentle
- Identification of specific muscle restrictions and release
- Passive movement of joints with stretches and multi-plane tissue restriction addressment
- Traction and Joint Mobilizations to alleviate compressive stresses or improve how well one bone can move relative to its neighbor
- Completion of Ultrasound intervention
- Completion of Electrical Stimulation intervention
- Use of Inversion table with or without additional joint/tissue addressment concurrently
- Use of cups or scrapping tools for variable tissue restriction
​
Additionally, by making a "Massage and Modalities" appointment with me, you will be in a medically supervised environment with a practitioner equipped to provide guidance on strategies for stretching or strengthening dependent on your desire.
​
I will always want to teach you about how your body moves and actions you can take to further reinforce the relief felt after a massage, but sometimes that is not your goal or desire. And, THAT'S OKAY! I started this practice in order to treat each person how they felt they needed to be treated. If you are not ready or wanting physical therapy, but feel you would benefit from any of the above listed aspects of a "Massage and Modalities" intervention, use the link below to schedule today!
