Every condition page below is written from twenty years of hands-on experience. Each one explains how the condition works in your body, why conventional approaches often fall short, and what targeted therapeutic massage can do differently.
-
SciaticaThat sharp, burning pain down your leg usually starts with compression in the lower back or deep in the hip. Neuromuscular and myofascial techniques release the tension creating the pressure.
-
Piriformis SyndromeA small, deep hip muscle sits right on top of the sciatic nerve. When it tightens, the pain mimics sciatica — and most people spend months treating the wrong thing.
-
Neck, Back & Shoulder PainThe pain you've adjusted your life around — how you sit, sleep, and carry things. Targeted deep tissue and neuromuscular work addresses the patterns that keep it coming back.
-
Posterior Chain ImbalanceThe structural pattern behind most chronic pain — weak posterior delts and glute medius, tight anterior chain. Janda’s upper and lower crossed syndromes, the through-line behind neck, shoulder, low back, and lower-extremity pain.
-
TMJJaw pain that radiates through your temples, neck, and shoulders. Your jaw joint is connected to everything, and releasing the muscles around it can change the whole picture.
-
MigrainesMedication manages the acute pain but doesn't address the muscular and postural patterns triggering the episodes. Therapeutic massage works on the cause, not just the symptom.
-
FibromyalgiaThe pain moves, spreads, and exhausts you. What you're experiencing is real, and with the right approach — careful, responsive bodywork — your body can respond.
-
EDS & HypermobilityWhen your connective tissue doesn't provide the structural support most people take for granted, your muscles work overtime to compensate. Specialized work helps stabilize without overstretching.
-
ScoliosisYour spine has a curve it shouldn't, and the compensations your body builds around it are usually where the pain lives. Massage can't change the curve, but it can change how your body manages it.
-
Anxiety & StressAnxiety sets up camp in your body — the tight jaw, the shoulders around your ears, the knot that never leaves. Therapeutic massage helps your nervous system step out of high alert.
-
Sports InjuriesYour body carries the memory of impact. Even after acute pain subsides, muscles remain tight and movement patterns shift to protect the area, creating new problems down the road.
-
Biceps TendonitisThe tendon keeps flaring because the muscles around it won’t let go. Chronic biceps pain is almost always a pattern problem — tight front, weak back — not a tendon problem.
-
Pre & Post-Surgical RecoverySurgery is stressful on your body even when it goes perfectly. Scar tissue forms, surrounding areas tighten, and range of motion suffers. Massage before and after a procedure makes a measurable difference.
-
Plantar FasciitisThat stabbing pain in your heel every morning. Your plantar fascia is taking on load that your calves and posterior chain should be handling — and it's telling you about it.
-
Runner's KneeKnee pain that shows up a few miles in and won't let you forget it. The problem usually isn't the knee itself — it's weak glutes and tight quads changing how your kneecap tracks.
-
Tech NeckHours at a screen have reshaped your posture. Your head has drifted forward, your posterior chain has weakened, and your neck and shoulders are paying the price.
