My name is Christine Grimes, I am board certified (BCTMB), a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and a licensed massage therapist in the state of Maine (LMT).   I have recently opened a new practice in Auburn Maine and look forward to serving the Androscoggin county for years to come! 

I have 8 years of experience in practice as a medical massage therapist in BC, Canada and relocated to Maine in the Summer of 2021.   I graduated from a 2200 hour massage therapy program at Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy, Toronto, in 2012 and have engaged in evidence-based continuing education ever since, including graduate studies in pain management.  This thorough education included training in clinical skills like orthopedic assessment, myofascial work, remedial exercise, deep tissue and relaxation techniques, as well as academic health science courses, research, like pathology, neurology, anatomy and physiology, and nutrition.

 I have successfully helped hundreds of patients with symptom relief for the following conditions:

arthritis
sports injuries
carpal tunnel syndrome and other nerve compression syndromes, such as thoracic outlet syndrome, piriformis syndrome and tarsal tunnel syndrome
tension headaches
recovery from orthopedic surgeries, including joint replacements
whiplash and other motor vehicle collision related injuries
ankylosing spondylitis
Temperomandibular joint pain (TMJ)
lower back pain related to disk herniation and degeneration
Parkinson’s disease
Insomnia
