Structural Therapy

This is specific targeted treatment that identifies & corrects structural & bio-mechanical patterns in the body. If unaddressed the body will compensate movement, which can lead to joint damage & neurological dysfunction resulting in acute and/or chronic pain. These treatments include a full body assessment followed by targeted bodywork. This is designed to increase joint space & mobility, release muscle stagnation& increase blood, lymph & nerve flow to the muscles and organs.

YOUR THERAPIST
With over 13 years experience as a Massage Therapist, it wasn't until I took my Orthopedic and CTB Massage courses that I really appreciated massage and the work I was doing. Seeing my clients transformations made me realize how much I was impacting their lives. With the many massage modalities I have learned, I chose to specialize in Structural Therapy. My goal is to help you reach your pain free, whole body alignment goals, by giving you tools and knowledge to help you gain a deeper understanding of your body and what it needs to stay balanced and pain free.
THERAPIST WHO CARES

Massage is not only good for your whole body, but it is a HUGE passion of mine. Massage allows your body time to unwind and relax, and allows your BodyMind to re-establish a healthy communication to allow for the ultimate healing.

EXPERIENCED KNOWLEDGE

Having trained in a variety of modalities, I can help you pick a service/package that best fits your needs. I am trained in many modalities but the ones I use most are: Cupping, Trigger Point Therapy, Stretch Therapy, Orthopedic Massage Therapy, Passive Movement Therapy, Active Therapeutic Movement, Neuromuscular, Deep Tissue.

Depending on the service requested all or some of these techniques may be used to help retrain the muscular and nervous system to communicate and realign the body back to a balanced natural state.
