Welcome to Pain Reset Sports Injury Therapy! Hi, I’m Valerie Bugarin, a Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in a whole-body approach to healing and performance. I believe the body works as a unified system—everything is interconnected. If your back hurts, I’ll check the front of your body. If your neck hurts, I’ll evaluate your feet. This integrated perspective allows me to uncover the root causes of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms. When people ask what I do, my answer is always, “It depends on what your body needs.” I take the time to understand your unique situation, asking questions and tailoring every session to your specific needs. I draw on a diverse toolkit to address neuromuscular imbalances and enhance movement, including: Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT): Identifying and correcting dysfunctional movement patterns. Lymphatic Stimulation: Supporting your body’s natural detoxification and recovery processes. Diaphragm Breathing Techniques: Enhancing core stability and overall function. Manual Tissue Work: Relieving tension and restoring mobility. My ultimate goal is to help you move better, feel better, and empower you with tools you can use at home for your own rehabilitation.
Massage
Sports massage, bodywork & fire cupping for tension, recovery & mobility. This is a treatment focused session for recovery, maintenance, and performance support. It does not include Neurokinetic Therapy to find the root cause of dysfunction. If recurring injuries I highly suggest Neurokinetic Therapy option.
Lymphatic Drainage
Designed to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support recovery. This session integrates lymphatic drainage techniques influenced by Dr. Perry Nickelston of Stop Chasing Pain, including the Deep 6 Mojo lymphatic approach, along with clinical bodywork and fire cupping. Promotes fluid movement, tissue health, and nervous system balance. Ideal for swelling, systemic inflammation, post-workout recovery, or overall reset.
