Massage

When the body gets working appropriately, the forces of gravity can flow through. Then, spontaneously, the body heals itself. - Ida Rolf


I incorporate massage into my treatments in a variety of ways:

• Trigger Point Release for pain and injury
• Fascial Release for postural balancing
• Relaxation Techniques for calming and chronic pain
• Facial massage for acupuncture face-lifts

My massage practice includes techniques from many different styles.

Pain Neutralization Technique: This exciting work created by Steven Kaufman, neutralizes painful muscular triggers through a gentle process of muscular stretching.

Structural Therapy: Based on the work of Ida Rolf, structural therapy works through the fascial planes of the body to restore proper posture, flexibility and strength.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy: This work uses very gentle pressure to release tension and correct distortion in the tissues surrounding  the Central Nervous System. These gentle releases can reduce pain and improve overall health.

Swedish: This technique uses long gliding strokes and muscle kneading to relax, detoxify and oxygenate the system


I believe the combination of massage and acupuncture can quickly move energy and bring profound change and healing to the body.
