WHY BOOK WITH ME?
WHAT I DO: I HELP YOU TO HEAL
Working with a therapist is all about TRUST. Please take the opportunity to learn more about me and how I strive to earn that Trust.
First and foremost, I am a Master Myoskeletal Therapist (MMT), as well as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). My treatments fall under the category of massage. My receipts are accepted by all insurance providers. I can provide an excellent cookie-cutter, traditional, therapeutic or relaxation massage, or I can provide so much more...
Although I have extensive training in many modalities and techniques, my best patients are those who want to get and stay healthy.
Chronic Pain? Injury? Accident? Stress? Work/Sport Performance?
Mobility Issue? Common/Extraordinary Posture Issue?
My Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy (MAT) is intended to reduce or eliminate pain. Most pain (85%) is idiopathic – unknown origin, comes and goes, moves around, changes intensity. We know that the body compensates for various issues and injuries, often by tightening muscles for protection. When I properly align the body, tissues relax, pains are reduced or eliminated, and issues lessen or disappear. This therapy is Very Effective.
Because of it’s gentle nature, MAT is very effective for treating Injuries, Posture issues, Performance issues, and Mobility issues – it is just as appropriate for the Elderly and Frail as it is for the Athlete and Weekend Warrior.
MAT is very complementary with other Modalities and Treatments, and is often a good alternative to them. For example, I can treat almost any issue a physical therapist or chiro can, just differently – gentler, and some say, safer.
I have more training in a short time than most massage therapists get in their entire career. This allows me to cherry pick the best techniques and customize treatments for each patient. “When all you have is a hammer, everything tends to look like a nail.” My toolbox continues to grow – If I am not training, I am reviewing. Note: I only do Evidence Based Treatments, and Nothing Invasive!
I am often the one called on to treat the owners, managers, and staff, as well as their families. I treat massage and physical therapists, nurses, and more. (I have Therapists who bring me their family members and BFFs for treatment - but they won't allow me to use their names!).
