My name is Valerii De Loach. I am 42 years old. I am married with three children. I have been a licensed massage therapist and body worker for fourteen years. I love what I do and I enjoy helping my clients feel better and have relief from pain.

I am a TMD Specialist, Plantar Faciits Specialist, Frozen Shoulder Specialist, and a Cupping Specialist.

What is TMD?

TMD is a chronic condition of pain and discomfort in the jaw, face and neck. Symptoms include jaw popping or clicking, subluxation (partial dislocation) of the jaw, clenching and/or grinding. I am trained in how to treat TMD to decrease pain and increase range of motion. I, personally, have TMD and understand the pain that comes with it. I have been treating TMD for 14 years.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Inflammation of the plantar fascia. Symptoms include the feeling like you've stepped on a rock, a bruised heel, the inability to take the first 10-15 steps after sitting or lying down, tension in the calves and achilles tendon. I have, personally, experience severe plantar fasciitis and developed a treatment plan that works. I have been treating plantar fasciitis for 7 years.

What is frozen shoulder?

Frozen shoulder is when there is a loss of range of motion in the shoulder joint and there is an inability to raise the arm in one or more directions. I am experienced in treating the cause of frozen shoulder with minimal discomfort and maximum results. I have been treating frozen shoulder for 4 years.

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Clients use it for many purposes, including help pain management, inflammation, circulation, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. It is uses to increase the space between the layers of skin, fascia and muscle tissue to improve range of motion and to decrease pain and inflammation.
