About the Somatic Movement Therapies
Massage and Bodywork Techniques
With over 5000 hours of training and certifications from a number of different massage and bodywork programs, I draw on an array of techniques to address your needs. From years of teaching kinesiology and massage modality classes, I have an in depth understanding of anatomy and offer specific work to alleviate chronic muscle and joint pain. I also have years of clinical experience helping clients recover with sports injuries, whiplash, headaches, arthritis, surgeries, and accidents.
The type of treatment I give you will depend on your goals and your condition. You can choose from the following techniques:
-
Swedish massage for deep relaxation-stress relief
-
Deep tissue for chronic muscle pain and recovery from injuries/surgeries
-
Craniosacral for headaches-trauma-whiplash-neck pain
-
Lymphatic drainage for swelling from soft tissue injuries
-
Neuromuscular patterning for changing posture and movement
Neuromuscular patterning (NMP) is my specialty. It integrates bodywork with active movement techniques for better results. In a NMP session, I direct the client to do specific core muscle isometrics or movements to engage specific muscles while I do hands-on release techniques to lengthen overworking muscles. Working together with our active participation boosts effectiveness
and produces longer-lasting results.
The benefits of NMP include
-
improves body awareness and core engagement skills
-
realigns posture and cultivates economy of motion
-
relieves chronic pain from muscular tension
-
reduces and prevents repetitive-use injuries
-
improves joint flexibility and range of motion
-
improves dance and athletic performance
