My philosophy of treatment and therapeutic approach is largely influenced by the ideas of Moshe Feldenkris who said,“increased quality of movement certainly increases the quality of life”. This can be understood in a few different ways. In its most basic form, physical movement is facilitated. In a deeper sense, this ease of physical movement can release stress and other emotional barriers that injury and pain often carry with them. Life should be a constant effort to move forward and to improve ones self, and the lives of others around us.
Massage therapy is important to your health maintenance or healing goals. Compare the old rule’s of 1999 to the new rules of 2025.
- Reducing or eliminating pain
- Improving joint mobility and stability
- Improving circulation (2025: with exercise or at a local capillary bed level)
- Improve immune system functioning (2025: through collaboration with nutritional professionals)
- Increase lymphatic drainage (2025: with vibration cupping)
- Reducing depression and anxiety (2025: according to the RMTAO)
- Reducing fascia and muscle tone (2025)
- Increasing body awareness
Massage therapy benefits people of all ages. While it benefits the injured, the ill and the stressed, the real strength of massage therapy lies in prevention.*
