Medical massage can be a beneficial part of recovery after an auto accident. It typically focuses on alleviating pain, reducing muscle tension, and improving mobility. Here are some key points to consider:
Pain Relief: Targeted massage techniques can help reduce pain in areas affected by whiplash or other injuries.
Muscle Relaxation: Massage can ease muscle tightness and spasms, which often result from stress and trauma after an accident.
Improved Circulation: Enhanced blood flow can promote healing by delivering nutrients to injured tissues and helping to remove toxins.
Increased Range of Motion: Gentle stretching and manipulation can help restore mobility in stiff or injured areas.
Emotional Support: The soothing nature of massage can also help alleviate anxiety and stress related to the trauma of an accident.

Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing “trigger points” in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These “knots” are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
Orthopedic massage is a style of massage therapy focused on treating painful conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body. Because orthopedic massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. It involves releasing tense muscles, helping to stretch and lengthen tight muscles and tendons, and decompress rigid joints. My goal is to restore full health to the soft tissues of your body, both treating your specific conditions as well as improving your overall well-being.
Muscle Energy Technique (MET), is designed to improve musculoskeletal function through mobilizing joints and stretching tight muscles and fascia, to reduce pain, and to improve circulation and lymphatic flow.
