Geriatric Massage Therapists in California

My ideal client is relieved to find my many skills are helpful for digestion, fertility/ hormonal, incontinence issues, alignment and sports performance problems, post surgical scarring/ restrictions/ pain, sleep/stress related problems. My ideal client also wants compassion, insight, to be listened to and given help for the issue(s), self care homework/ exercises, and explanations of what is going on and how to get better. They are responsive to gentle/firm/clear insightful treatments that restore function, movement and comfort. They are ready to get real improvement.

You'er in pain, you've been to several different therapists with no luck. Even the MD finds nothing wrong - no breaks, no tears, no pathology. It's frustrating and annoying to live with this. You might be able to trace the pain to something that happened years ago - an accident, a fall, even surgery. Ever since then something has not been quite right. And now you're ready to get it taken care of.

You've been to doctor. Nothing shows up on the X-ray. You've been told nothing is wrong. That's good! It means there are no breaks or tears, that there is nothing organically wrong. But it still hurts! That means the pain is most likely soft tissue. It's something that can be released! You can reclaim your spunk. Problems of mobility and pain can usually be traced to some old injury, even from 20 or 30 or more years ago. Auto accidents, ski injuries, falls - they all take their toll on the body. That physical trauma can be released easily and gently, giving a person more FREEDOM and RELEASE from pain!

By active stretching I help my clients soften their muscular fascia restoring flexibility. I also use deep tissue therapy and myoskeletal therapy in some cases to release scar tissue in surrounding joints and areas difficult to release with common stretching. These techniques help realign muscle fibers for better mobility. Continuous treatment prevents muscle pain and restriction to re-appear.
