"The body is a self-healing organism, so it's really about clearing things out of the way so the body can heal itself."

-Barbara Brennan

"Life is in the blood"

• Blood and our circulatory system is our highway -the drop-off and pick-up system of so many aspects of health at the cellular level. Heart & Lungs, Blood Vessels: Arteries & Veins, Arterioles & Venules and finally Capillaries.
• We breathe in Oxygen (heart & lungs), fresh oxygen rich blood gets distributed throughout the body (blood vessels), then the blood delivers oxygen & nutrients to every cell throughout the body. While simultaneously removing carbon dioxide (toxic air) and cellular waste.... because we use up the fuel we put into our body. This is then carried in the blood vessels to the heart and lungs to be expelled and to the kidneys and other organs to be filtered.
• We are what we eat, drink, sleep and breathe.
• We have around 100,000 miles of blood vessels in our bodies...that's amazing!

As we age and live less than fully active lifestyles, our micro blood circulation slows therefore slowing down the process of delivery of oxygen & nutrients, but also removal of cellular waste.

When our body’s cells, tissues and organs are supported by adequate nourishment, and metabolic waste products are efficiently removed, our bodies become healthy and function properly, which is what it is designed to do.

Optimal circulation is a prerequisite for ensuring good levels of health and fitness.

Neuromuscular therapy is a specialized form of deep tissue massage in which targeted pressure and friction are used to release areas of strain in the muscle. These areas of strain are called tender or trigger points and are the cause of muscular pain symptoms.

What are Trigger Points? Trigger points are areas of hypersensitivity in a muscle caused by overstrain. These are small areas of the muscle in which there is a contracture of muscular tissue (think of a tiny snag in a knit sweater). Blood and nutrients are lacking in that part of the muscle and therefore the muscle spindle is unable to relax. Examples of Trigger & Referral pain include: sciatica like symptoms, carpal tunnel like symptoms, and headaches.

Common injuries treated with NMT: Lower back pain, upper back pain, carpal tunnel like symptoms, sciatica like symptoms, hip pain, headaches, plantar fasciitis, calf cramps, tendonitis, knee pain, iliotibial (IT band) friction syndrome, jaw pain, tempomandibular joint pain (TMJ disorders).

Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal care.

• I specialize in Pre & Post-natal massage - specifically understanding and addressing the physical shifts in muscular, nerve, circulation and hormone functions that unfold during the entire pregnancy.  

It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling).

This type of treatment is very specific to the individual medical (mental or physical) needs of the client. Medical Massage Therapy is a safe form of rehabilitation and physical therapy for someone who has mental and or physical limitations - ADD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Geriatric, and others. *(This is a case by case basis. Call today to find out if medical massage therapy is a good fit for you or someone close to you.)*

Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts vacuum cups on your skin to stimulate the underlying tissue for a few minutes and create suction. People use cupping for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and is a type of deep-tissue massage. I find it extremely helpful in certain case by case basis.

Among the benefits of cupping, it’s side effects may (not always) result in circular discoloration (ranging in shades due to the health of the underlying tissue). Old trapped blood gets pulled out of tight or restricted muscle tissue and it rises to the surface of the skin. This side effect only lasts 3-7 days after treatment

Kinesio Tape is an amazing tool for supporting muscles & tendons. People often describe it as feeling like extra tendons.

It's great for joint sprains and muscle strains, blood flow and correcting imbalanced tension in the body.

*KT tape applications are $10 when included in a session. $25 for application only.
