Ann Short

Ann has been practicing massage since 1998. She has certification in massage and has advanced certification in orthopedic massage. She continued her training receiving certification in among others, infant massage instruction, connective tissue massage and massage for first responders. In addition to practicing massage, she worked as a curriculum developer and instructor in a massage school for more than 10 years. Ann specializes in what she calls a “layered massage”. She combines myofascial work with deep tissue, trigger point therapy, sports and orthopedic techniques. She also specializes in massage for clients that have sustained soft tissue injuries in auto accidents. Ann is a puzzle solver. “Every day I get to go to work and see my clients and I get to help solve the puzzle of why something hurts, or doesn’t move the way it should. And then I get the honor of being part of the restoration and healing process.” Ann believes that massage is for everyone. “I know of very few people who do not benefit on some level from massage. I do not think there is one type of massage that works for everyone; like most things in life, many roads lead to one destination.
