Massage is a simple tool that can be used to assist in relieving physical suffering and transcends to assist in alleviating the non-physical distress, as well.  Utilizing massage as a pro-active measure is critical to success. As a massage therapist for over 15 years, I have always strived to encourage my clientele to take control and be zealous in all aspects of their health.  My massage protocol is designed to address issues before they manifest into larger concerns.  With this approach, I pride myself on succeeding where other therapies or remedies have failed.  There is no 'fluff-n-buff with therapeutic massage but the 'feel good' result is much longer lasting!
