In her heart, Andrea hopes that her treatments offer a space where each client can feel increasingly at home in their body. She brings a caring and compassionate approach to the table and is equally happy to offer any variation of light, moderate or deep pressure. She listens to her clients’ goals for treatment as well as their explanations of symptoms to guide her. She will perform a short assessment, where relevant, to clarify the tissues involved in pain. She has successfully helped to manage or resolve postural concerns, tension headaches, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, tennis and golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve entrapment symptoms, hip pain, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, thoracic outlet syndrome, trigger point pain, stress tension, anxiety, insomnia, and more. Techniques used vary with each treatment and may include Swedish massage, myofascial release, gentle joint mobilizations, trigger point therapy, Golgi tendon organ release, PNF stretching, passive stretching, and pin and stretch. She is always happy to offer homecare and remedial exercises to enhance well-being and encourage the resolution of symptoms. On a personal note, she loves walking and being in the woods, dogs and all animals, and learning about wellness and healing. She strives to stay current with evidence-based massage therapy practices. She feels it is her duty to share, according to current research, the “side effects” of massage therapy may include restful sleep, fewer headaches, less pain, improved posture, lower stress levels and a stronger immune system.
