THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE : MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Relieve pain, release posture, regain ease
IN ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN
Welcome.
I help people find more ease in their bodies as they navigate life’s unexpected, challenging, and exciting twists and turns.
Yes, there is a LOT of hope for feeling and functioning better.
Myofascial release helps the body build its resources, resilience, radiance, and restfulness.
Conditions and Issues Treated:
01
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Pain
I use external techniques for muscles of the face, neck, and jaw (masseter, buccinator, hyoids, sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, etc) as well as sensitive intra-oral techniques (working inside the mouth with sterile gloves, with the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles and fascia) to provide relief and restore function of the jaw. This can be due to either acute strain from dental procedures or from long term habitual jaw clenching and teeth grinding.
Clients receiving Clinical Botox Therapy for jaw tension are excellent candidates for this work, as over time it helps the muscles to be less prone to habitual clenching and tension.
02
Whiplash, Headaches, Neck Pain
Headaches, neck tension, and stiffness—whether from whiplash, postural patterns, your profession, or stress— can disrupt daily life. Through a precise approach related to your individual pain and postural patterns, we use intelligent and detailed massage in specific locations to deeply improve these issues. Outcomes over time: acute pain relief, long term pain prevention, healthier aging through better head/neck posture, tissue wellness.
03
Frozen shoulder, rotator cuff issues, sciatic pain, piriformis syndrome, plantar fasciitis, hand & wrist issues, post hip surgery rehab, scar tissue massage, general & specific back pain.
My approach makes a deep, palpable, sustainable impact, and is based on the groundbreaking work of Tom Myers, Dr. Jean Claude Guimberteau, and Drs. Janet Travell & David Simons.
Working this way addresses the underlying causes of myofascial restrictions while enhancing range of motion, structural integrity, and restoring fluidity to your body's natural movement patterns.
