Clinical Massage
"It’s the bodies! Each unique in its voice, each specific in its process to unveil and release what’s injured, physically, emotionally – often both. It amazes me, especially after nearly 30 years, how I still love practicing massage." Patty
Clinical Massage = Rehabilitation
Trauma seems to visit all lives, whether from accidents, surgery, sports, or even unkind, harsh words. This leaves a physical imprint that ranges from stiffness to chronic pain.

Clinical massage is rehabilitation. By using a wide spectrum of modalities, massage begins to:
-
Restore proper joint function as it releases hyper-tense muscles and clears accumulated toxicity in the muscle attachments
-
Improve circulation, restoring health and vitality through cellular nourishment
-
Stimulates and cleanses the lymphatic system, a major part of the immune system, which fights all illnesses from colds to cancer
