My specialty is therapeutic massage such as sports, medical and deep tissue massage. I offer what I like to call a Therapeutic Massage or a Customized Massage that is tailored to each individual. I work with men, women and children. I have been a massage therapist for more than 20 years. The highest achievement set for Massage Therapists.

Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. Graston Technique , Medi-Cupping and I recently completed 18 credit hours in Orthopedic Assessment of the shoulder region. What is a therapeutic massage? That is the question! What is my type of massage? How is my massage different from all the others? Let me explain, I offer a very specific massage.
I don't do a fluffy spa type massage. Yes, I can do that, but it is not what I like to offer. My favorite practice is the customized massage. After discussing what is bothering my client I go to work assessing the situation and gathering information to put a treatment plan together for them. Typically during the session I massage parts of the body not a full body massage. I use techniques such as pressure points and fascia stretching.
The massage may be deep, it may be painful but I offer advice on how to minimize that problem after the client leaves. Therapeutic Massage is for Wellness and for getting the body in its peak state for performance.
To begin, I suggest clients commit to at least 5 visits. After those five visits we re-evaluate how the client is feeling and move forward from there. Prenatal massage is therapeutic bodywork focusing on the special needs of the expectant mother. It helps her to prepare for the physical demands of carrying and delivering her baby. Pregnancy massage is the all natural way to help alleviate the common complaints of pregnancy.
