My practice is designed to help you with musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This can be from an accident or injury, chronic overuse or repetitive strain from daily activities or just the effects of poor posture.The goal is to eliminate the pain and help you develop "self help" strategies to remain pain free and vital. Some examples of conditions I treat are whiplash, neck pain, thoracic outlet syndrome, headaches, back pain, shoulder dysfunction, hip pain, carpal tunnel, "sciatica" and TMJ dysfunction.

Do you feel aches and pain more often than not? Are you living in chronic pain or sudden onset? I use very specific techniques to address specific muscles and the underlying causes of why you may be having pain. I also do relaxation massage and some gentle techniques to help the nervous system reset itself toward relaxation and balance. I may also give you some pointers in improving your posture to lessen aches and pains. I have been practicing Massage Therapy and Bodywork for 26 years.
