Benefits of Massage:

I believe massage and bodywork are the key to recovery for many types of injuries and pain.  Therapeutic massage is my specialty and therefore clients looking for massage focused on relaxation would be best served with another therapist. 

Many clients can see meaningful improvements with issues not resolved by other healthcare modalities in that therapeutic massage can break up scar tissue, increase blood circulation to injured muscle and connective tissue, eliminate myofascial trigger points (knots), and increase flexibility and range of motion.  Clients suffering from chronic headaches caused by neck tension can find great relief over time with regular visits.

Each of my clients have unique reasons for coming in and I evaluate the big picture including work situations, repetitive strain injuries, postural problems, stress, and client preferences.  I can then tailor the bodywork to meet their goals for the session.  I may also make suggestions for self-care at home based on my extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and my continual interest in wellness and nutrition.

I am nationally board certified and have a professional studio in my home just a few blocks from downtown Red Wing.
