Ms. Aviva Geismar

“I integrate a range of treatment approaches including deep tissue massage, therapeutic movement, trigger point work, Swedish massage, postural analysis and orthopedic assessment techniques. I enjoy discovering the most effective approach to enhance the well being of the whole person, taking into consideration anatomical and functional information as well as emotional and psychological considerations. I work with clients handling injury or illness as well as those working to manage stress. I am a movement educator and professional dancer, so I sometimes integrate movement work into my hands on treatment in order to facilitate overall well being.

I am a certified GYROKINESIS instructor. GYROKINESIS is a gentle yet rigorous movement technique that uses undulating spinal movements and breath to build connectivity, flexibility and strength. GYROKINESIS can be an excellent compliment to massage for people dealing with injury or hoping to increase or maintain their freedom of motion.

I have had the privilege to bring relief to clients recovering from frozen shoulder, car accidents, disk injuries, sciatica, scoliosis, trigger point problems, muscle tears, joint sprains, elbow tendinitis, TMJ syndrome, tension headaches and knee injuries. I have also worked with professional dancers, musicians and athletes at all levels of training.”
