Orthopedic massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that focuses on treating pain and dysfunction that arises in muscles and connective tissue like tendons, ligaments and fascia. It involves assessing and addressing soft tissue injuries, joint restrictions, and muscle imbalances to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall physical function. I combine orthopedic massage techniques with various therapeutic methods, the latest research, and my extensive understanding of the human body to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique goals.

Massage therapy is a crucial component of any athletic training regimen and recovery process. It involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and promote overall well-being. Athletes often seek massages to help increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility, and speed up the healing of any injuries. Regular massages can also help athletes relax both physically and mentally, allowing them to focus better on their training and competitions. No matter which athletic community you belong to- be it professional, recreational, dance, strength training, yoga or Pilates- I understand your needs and excel at providing the care you deserve.

My workshop, Embodied Anatomy, focuses on palpation and self-massage designed to help participants deepen their understanding of the human body and learn practical skills to improve their well-being. During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the structure and function of key muscles and joints through hands-on palpation exercises. By exploring the body through touch, participants can develop a greater awareness of their own anatomy and enhance their ability to locate and target specific areas for self-massage.

Through guided self-massage techniques, participants will also learn how to release tension, reduce pain, and promote relaxation in different areas of the body. This hands-on approach allows individuals to experience the benefits of self-care practices firsthand and empowers them to take an active role in managing their physical health. Overall, the anatomy workshop offers a unique blend of education and experiential learning that can help participants build confidence in their ability to care for their bodies and improve their overall quality of life.
