Massage Therapy
In alphabetical order, the modalities and areas of specialty I have include: Aromatherapy, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other Repetitive Use Therapies, Chair Massage, Comfort Touch and other Geriatric Massage Techniques, Deep Tissue Massage, Fibromyalgia, Headache Massage (incl. cervicogenic, migraine, sinus and tension headaches), Massage Cupping (Certified), Myofascial Release and other Connective Tissue Massage Techniques, Neuro-Muscular and Trigger Point Therapies, Relaxation (Swedish) Massage, Sports Massage and PNF Stretching. With the exception of swedish massage for those wanting nothing but to relax, and geriatric/comfort touch techniques for the very frail and/or elderly, I employ and combine several of the skills/tools listed above into each massage session, resulting in a massage that is specially customized to each client every time.
