My name is Christine Grimes, I am board certified (BCTMB), a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and a licensed massage therapist in the state of Maine (LMT). I have recently opened a new practice in Auburn Maine and look forward to serving the Androscoggin county for years to come! I have 8 years of experience in practice as a medical massage therapist in BC, Canada and relocated to Maine in the Summer of 2021. I graduated from a 2200 hour massage therapy program at Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy, Toronto, in 2012 and have engaged in evidence-based continuing education ever since, including graduate studies in pain management. This thorough education included training in clinical skills like orthopedic assessment, myofascial work, remedial exercise, deep tissue and relaxation techniques, as well as academic health science courses, research, like pathology, neurology, anatomy and physiology, and nutrition. I have successfully helped hundreds of patients with symptom relief for the following conditions: arthritis sports injuries carpal tunnel syndrome and other nerve compression syndromes, such as thoracic outlet syndrome, piriformis syndrome and tarsal tunnel syndrome tension headaches recovery from orthopedic surgeries, including joint replacements whiplash and other motor vehicle collision related injuries ankylosing spondylitis Temperomandibular joint pain (TMJ) lower back pain related to disk herniation and degeneration Parkinson’s disease Insomnia Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain syndromes Cancer I see medical massage therapy as an evidence-based, complementary healthcare modality that can help speed recovery, decrease pain, improve tissue health and mobility in most patients. I am skilled in motivational interviewing as well, and have helped encourage all of my patients to stay active, perform necessary self care and seek out professional help for both mental and physical health when needed. I will soon be set up for insurance billing. I also offer home visits for those in wheelchairs or with severe mobility issues. I welcome you to my practice!
