I am a bodyworker that is more clinical minded than most massage
therapists. I like to refer to myself as a manual therapist. I am currently
attending UT Tyler for classes in Physical Therapy. I am using what I learn
there and what I already know from my medical background to join these two
professions for clinical massage. I specialize in pain management, injury
rehab, long term (chronic) conditions, and sports/athletic rehabilitation as
well as fitness rehabilitation. My goal is to help clients recover from a
previous injury or with pain management for conditions that are not curable.
Medical massage therapy practices can be studied and researched with proven
results. I hope to help my clients reach a better quality of life with my work.
While I do offer the “spa” type of massage in my clinic, it is not
where my focus lies. I do not play spa music, do not have hot stones, and I
don’t practice energy work as I am a very medically minded therapist. I spend
my time learning and focusing on rehabilitative care.
I am in the process of obtaining my license for personal training.
I hope to have this finalized before the summer months begin. At that time, I
will be including a new focus on exercise prescription balanced with focused
massage therapy. Joining these two will give my clients a better-informed work
out and keep their muscles on the right track for a better and more focused
work out routine. I hope to work with a local gym as space/time allows.
