Gone hiking on the Appalachian Trail -- see you in August!
I specialize in providing massage therapy for seniors. I use Swedish massage and other advanced massage techniques to relieve your pain, improve your muscle and joint function, and speed your healing after injuries. I give a 25% discount to seniors, age 50 and up.
I have over forty years of "hands-on" practice. I also have a focus on massage as health care, which is why I enjoy working with older folks. I was employed for twelve years as a nurse's aide, primarily with geriatrics. Massage is a way to affect total health. Sometimes I work muscle-by-muscle, easing recent strain and overuse. Sometimes I focus on the systems (posture, digestion, sleep, mood and many more) that can make us feel and act "old" or "sick." Massage is not a cure, but it can make big improvements!
Massage therapy is a tool that can be applied to anyone, from the strongest athlete to the most frail patient in hospice. I choose gentle techniques whenever possible, but I have the strength to make a difference using techniques like trigger point, neuromuscular, myofascial, and positional release therapy. If you don't feel a noticeable difference at the end of your massage, you don't pay me. I expect the improvement to be felt the next morning, not just during your massage!
My office is located on the main street of Mars, Grand Avenue (across from the barber shop) with on-street parking and additional parking in a large lot behind the building. I am within a half-hour drive of Cranberry, Wexford, Valencia, Evans City, Zelienople, and Butler. Appointments are scheduled for afternoons, evenings, and weekends; you can choose hour or half-hour appointments.
