Education
and 
Training
 

The techniques I use are NOT typical relaxation massage. Instead, they are a customized combination of osteopathic therapies I have learned and continue to learn from Pursuit Physical Therapy and other professional organizations as noted, below. This approach to treatment is based on the philosophy that all the body's systems are interconnected, and treatment needs to consider and address them all to be successful. Mobilization is key to regaining range of motion and good health.

I limit my use of these manual therapy techniques to the scope and practice of massage therapy.
