Megan Risinger is a Licensed and Board Certified Massage Therapist, specializing in Neuromuscular Therapy, TMJ Dysfunction, and Sports Massage.  Graduated from Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy (CIMT) in 2011. Holding certification with National Certification of Bodywork and Massage Professionals (NCBTMB) and membership with Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals, Commitment to furthering knowledge of bodywork and learning new techniques to pass on to my clients in the pursuit of chronic and acute pain relief is the main priority.


I decided to get into bodywork because it felt like a natural fit. I remember I was the only one of my siblings that didn’t mind giving my mom a footrub or walk on my dads back-it was comfortable and I enjoyed making my parents feel better. That definitely factored into my ideas after graduating from high school and spending some time in college, when I was deciding what I was passionate about and wanted to pursue as a career.

I started my massage career in 2011 working in multiple enviornments. Starting off working with chiropracters, salons, and small independent businesses, in 2015 moving into working for myself independently as well as getting involved with an annual running event TransRockis Run where working with athletes became a big passion. I have continued to explore different modalities that would benefit my clients and feel that everyone needs massage. Its not simply a session to relax and unwind, which is absolutely a benefit! There is such a therapeutic value to soft tissue work. Issues that stem from dental pain, repetitive work strain, surgical procedures and so many more can be addressed using a variety of modalities. Life is hard enough, I just want to help my clients make it just a bit easier.

Neuromuscular

Neuromuscular therapy is a highly specialized form of manual therapy that corrects pain and dysfunction by treating trigger points, muscle adhesions, and fascial (connective tissue) patterns. These trigger points, adhesions and facial patterns can form due to specific trauma, postural pattern, or series of repetitive movements. Neuromuscular therapy sessions utilize precise treatment of protocols to correct these patterns by releasing type fascia, palpating and decreasing trigger points in tight bands of muscle and releasing areas of stuck muscle in an effective and efficient manner. The primary pain are treated using these protocols. Pressure used during the treatment is based on the client’s pain threshold. –No pain no gain– is not the motto. We ask the client to provide feedback on the sensitivity of trigger points and tissue; if the client’s pain reaches eight on their 1 to 10 pain scale the treatment is too intense. After 7 on the scale, the tissue starts to tighten up and response to the pain which is counterproductive and inappropriate for achieving the client’s goals. Neuromuscular treatments are rarely full body the work is concentrated on the primary and secondary areas of the body that are causing the pain you are experiencing, and limiting range of motion.

Cupping

Cupping is a therapeutic process using a glass, ceramic, bamboo, or plastic cup to create suction on the skin. Cupping increases blood circulation on target areas where the cups are placed, relieving muscle tension, promoting cell repair, reducing fascial adhesions, and improving lymphatic flow.

Activated Isolated Stretching (Mattes Method)

A scientific stretching method developed by Aaron L. Mattes. It is a manual technique that combines a series of short, controlled stretches with intervals of relaxation, which overrides your muscle’s tendency to contract when stretched tight. If you suffer from neck, back, shoulder, hip, or knee pain or stiffness, active isolated stretching is a safe solution that offers tremendous relief quickly.

REVIEWS for my massage services

I always look forward to my appointments with Megan. She listens to what I need and tailors the session around that. The studio is cozy, comfortable, and welcoming. Scheduling is easy and appointments are always no hassle. Balanced healing is my go-to for the me-time that really makes a difference.

Megan's ability to adjust her massage technique to help your body heal more quickly is one of her strong points. Her knowledge of the body's muscles and tendons is amazing.

Megan listened to my concerns and did an amazing job at addressing the problems with my shoulder, and I look forward to seeing her again.

Megan delivers top-notch massage therapy at every session. Her skills are magical. She will focus on any particular issues you may have, and if nothing in particular, her 'maintenance' work is quite relaxing. She is engaging with conversation if you'd like or if you just want to relax and enjoy the moment, she is excellent with your choice. Her massage space exudes a relaxing atmosphere, and she will accommodate your musical preferences. I have been seeing Megan for a number of years now. Her outstanding work has greatly improved neck and back issues as well as a recent knee injury. And even if I don't need any particular work done, it's just a pleasure to relax for 60 or 90 minutes while in her care.
