Hello! I'm Brooke and I'm here to help you on your journey to find pain relief. I have studied with great Erik Dalton and became an certified MMT from the Freedom of Pain Institute. I want to help you feel better.
Although many people seek massage therapy solely for relaxation, Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy will extend the benefits of your experience beyond relaxation and target your specific needs. I will conduct a professional assessment, including a postural evaluation, making an assessment of your daily activities, work, & lifestyle. Detective work is often needed to determine where the poor posture and pain originated from. It can stem from a culmination of our experiences, emotions, traumas, strengths and weaknesses. However, a lifestyle or ergonomic adjustment such as changing from a purse to a backpack, or sitting in a chair of proper height, may be necessary. A postural evaluation is extremely valuable.
Since structural imbalances often underlie chronic pain and dysfunction, I will determine which muscles are abnormally stretched and which are shortened before choosing the most effective techniques to correct the imbalance through bodywork to achieve a long-term solution. Specific massage techniques will be applied during this massage based on the assessment to restore your ideal alignment. This technique is beneficial for everyone. It is especially beneficial to athletes, office workers, service industry professionals and those with neck and shoulder tension, headaches, and low back pain.
The most common situations Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy works on relieving acute pain, creating profound relaxation, improving posture and easing tight muscles.
Depending on the severity of your pain and body alignment, optimal results may require multiple sessions. In most cases you will feel instant short term relief. With continued body work you will achieve long term results.
