Hello! My name is Josie, I have been practicing massage since December of 2018. In May of 2023 I obtained my certification in Orthopedic Massage, and in June 2024 I obtained my certification in Complete Decongestive Therapy. My practice Focusing on the tissues and muscles surrounding the joints of the body. Specializing in reliving post-surgical discomfort, discomfort from an acute injury, or discomfort from overuse strain due to a repetitive motion from activities like Tennis, Golf, Hockey, Jogging, or Desk work. Now also treating Lymphedema. 

 Whatever the cause of the muscle damage, the intent of the orthopedic massage is to lengthen and soften the muscles and ligaments, permitting better range of motion of the affected joints. I also incorporate NMT, Swedish, Connective Tissue, and Sports techniques in my work. 

Complete Decongestive Therapy is used to treat and decompress clients with Lymphedema. This is an intensive therapy spanning 4-5 weeks depending on the depth of the issue. I will see a client every other day until measurements of the limb(s)  level out. After that I will recommend how to pick the best compression garments for you level of Lymphedema and recommend exercises to maintain limb size and prevent future build up of fluid.
