Specialties
Youth and
Preventative Medicine
Working with
young people BEFORE developing bad habits that lead to problems like chronic
low back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome can help prevent these issues later,
by teaching good posture and body use patterns to last for life.
Posture and
Education
Working with
postural re-education is about changing lifelong habits and it creates powerful and lasting changes, leading to better body use and freedom from chronic pain.
Classes
Classes are a
great way to learn basic techniques to help each other feel great on a daily
basis! Classes also teach a great way for couples or families to bond with each other and spend quality
time together.
Trauma Recovery
Touch can be a
powerful part of recovery from traumatic events- it introduces a safe
environment in which the client is in control and is supported emotionally and
physically.
Medical
Conditions
Touch can be
powerful in managing long-term medical conditions such as Parkinson’s disease,
Multiple Sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Cerebral Palsy, Lupus, Paralysis, Broken
Bones, Burns, and more.
Jaw pain and
teeth grinding
Massage to the
neck, head, jaw, throat, and muscles used for chewing can make dramatic
differences in chronic jaw pain and teeth grinding.
Low back and hip
pain
Half
of working Americans admit to having back pain each year! 1/3 of Americans over
18 had a back problem in the past 5 years severe enough to seek professional
help. Most back pain can be improved if not cured, and its re-occurrence
reduced or prevented.
Visceral Massage
Massage to the tissues surrounding and connecting the internal organs can help with digestion and breathing problems. Because these tissues attach to the ribs, spine, and pelvis, massage to the viscera can also help with pain and tightness in the shoulders, back, and hips.
