My name is Michelle Grimes. I am so happy that you are here. I graduated from Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy in 2004. During my 19 years of practicing Massage Therapy, I have had great opportunities to work in Medical, Chiropractic and Spa settings. My experience has led me to fulfilling my dream of opening my own business. I have worked with many conditions, such as auto-immune disorders, fibromyalgia, migraines, spinal issues, injuries, chronic pain, anxiety and many more. One thing I would like to talk about is stress and how it affects our bodies. I hear so many times that stress caused from work and life are major contributing factors of the muscle tension. When stress becomes long-term or chronic, it can have serious effects on our bodies. When the body is stressed, muscles tense up. Muscle tension is almost a reflex reaction to stress-the body's way of guarding against injury and pain. Getting consistent regular massage helps to retrain our muscle memory to relax and keep our pain at bay.
Massage Therapy
Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation.
Reflexology
Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet. The theory behind reflexology is that areas of the foot correspond to organs and systems of the body. Pressure applied to the foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the corresponding area of the body.
