I am massage therapist with 30 years experience in the health and wellness industry. I am located in southwest Florida; offices in Matlacha and Bokeelia which are located on Pine Island.
The massage modalities that I offer include, but are not limited to, Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue, Relaxation, Hot Bamboo, Cupping, Sports, Fascia Release for fibromyalgia and Ashiatsu/Foot Pressure (Matlacha only).
If you want to relax the entire body, I offer a Swedish Massage with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to your heart. This type of massage focuses on muscle relaxation, targeting superficial muscles and increasing blood circulation. In addition, I add hot towels to the feet and hot bamboo to back, neck and shoulders. I also offer therapeutic massage which is a deeper tissue massage that targets the connective tissues and deeper underlying muscles. I address Chronic Myofascial Pain issues like Frozen Shoulder, Headaches, Sciatic pain, Tennis Elbow, Golfer's Elbow, Hip, Knee, Mid-& Lower Back Pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and "Computer Neck & Shoulders".
I specialize in myofascial trigger point therapy, which is a unique and highly effective non-surgical, non-drug approach to the relief of chronic and acute pain and dysfunction in the muscles and soft tissues. If you experience chronic pain that other types of treatment and/or medications have not resolved, then it is likely that myofascial trigger points are the cause of your pain. I focus on the identification and treatment of myofascial pain and dysfunction. By identifying and treating underlying causes of muscular pain, teaching self-care techniques and restoring muscle function, I am able to help patients achieve pain relief and prevent recurrence.
My practice includes working with trauma, acute injuries, repetitive stress injuries, chronic pain, athletes, weekend warriors and rehabilitation; teen to seniors. I also help athletes optimize sports performance by eliminating trigger points that cause weakness, range of motion deficits, and muscle fatigue.
My passion is to help people get out of pain and restore pain-free movement.
EVERY massage is Custom, because every ‘body’ is unique.
