I personally witnessed the effects and benefits of massage therapy, and was inspired to learn more. I graduated from Everest College Registered Massage Therapy Program in 2013. I truly believe that massage therapy is an important part of your overall emotional and physical health. I have enhanced my training through continuing education courses and workshops, learning techniques that include massage and manual therapy, positional release, trigger point therapy, TMJ dysfunction therapy, Indie Head Massage, joint mobilization, hydrotherapy. I use these techniques to assess and treat the body as a whole, and additionally provide rehabilitation exercises such as stretching and strengthening, and patient education. I am committed to helping to alleviate pain and to restore and maintain balance and function of the body as a whole. I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
Massage Therapy can be very helpful with the changes that expecting mothers can experience during pregnancy. As a pregnancy progresses and the body’s ligaments start to relax, women may experience added strain on their muscles and joints. Pre-natal massage helps alleviate, hip and low back pain, calf cramping, and upper back and neck tension. Moms can also enjoy abdominal massage in their treatment, helping to soothe the baby and relieve gastrointestinal issues. All therapists are trained in pre-natal massage and can accommodate your changing needs through your pregnancy. You can choose to lay on your side with a body pillow, or on your stomach with the pre-natal pillow.
