Clinical Neuromuscular Massage Therapy: Science-Based Care for Lasting Wellness
With over 20 years of experience, I bring a science-based approach to clinical neuromuscular massage therapy combined with Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) and Lymphatic Drainage. This integrative approach supports the body’s natural healing abilities, focusing on muscle care as the “organ of longevity.” Muscles do more than enable movement—they stabilize joints, support posture, and impact overall resilience. Inspired by the principles of Dr. Vladimir Janda and Dr. Leon Chaitow, I address muscle imbalances, chronic pain, and dysfunction to foster long-term wellness.
Pain is a powerful messenger, guiding us to areas in need of support and balance. My approach to therapy goes beyond symptoms, uncovering the root causes to support sustainable relief and recovery.
Understanding How Your Body’s Patterns Are Connected
Many issues, from chronic neck pain and jaw tension to hip discomfort and knee pain, are interconnected. Inspired by Janda and Chaitow’s principles, I treat the body as an integrated system. By combining clinical neuromuscular massage therapy with Neurokinetic Therapy and Lymphatic Drainage, I address muscle imbalances, joint health, and nervous system balance for holistic results.
Everyday habits, like shallow breathing, prolonged sitting, or looking down at devices, create tension patterns that can affect the entire body. These imbalances often show up as chronic pain, sinus congestion, or digestive issues and can disrupt movement quality in activities like Pilates, yoga, and daily life. By addressing these underlying patterns, I help prevent discomfort from becoming chronic, supporting long-term comfort and mobility.
This is where self-care becomes healthcare. By addressing these patterns now, you’re investing in a pain-free, resilient future.
Conditions I Help With Through an Integrative Approach
Through the clinical application of neuromuscular massage therapy, Neurokinetic Therapy, and Lymphatic Drainage, I help address a variety of interconnected conditions with a focus on alignment, balance, and the body’s natural healing capabilities:
Shallow and Lateral Breathing Dysfunction
Breathing is foundational to posture and overall health. Shallow or restricted lateral breathing impacts neck and core stability. By retraining natural breathing patterns through an integrative approach, I support relaxation, lung capacity, and posture.
Pelvic and Core Dysfunction
Pelvic and core dysfunctions, such as pelvic floor tension and core instability, can lead to chronic pain and compromised balance. I use Neurokinetic Therapy and neuromuscular techniques to strengthen and realign the pelvic area, establishing a solid foundation for movement.
Chronic Neck and Shoulder Tension
Daily stress and poor posture often cause chronic neck and shoulder tension. Combining neuromuscular massage therapy and NKT, I rebalance these areas to reduce pain and restore mobility, using Janda’s principles on muscle imbalances.
TMJ Pain and Jaw Tension
Utilizing Chaitow’s neuromuscular techniques alongside NKT, I address jaw alignment issues to relieve TMJ pain, reduce headaches, and improve sleep.
Whiplash Recovery
Restore mobility and flexibility following whiplash injuries. Clinical neuromuscular massage therapy and NKT together support recovery by reducing stiffness and pain.
Menopause Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome and Perimenopause
During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can cause joint pain, stiffness, and fatigue. My combined approach relieves musculoskeletal pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes balance to ease the transition.
Thyroid Support and Lymphatic Health
Through lymphatic drainage and neuromuscular therapy, I improve lymph flow, support thyroid health, and enhance immune function, promoting resilience and cellular health.
Lower Back Pain and Pelvic Alignment
Inspired by Janda’s principles, I address lower crossed syndrome and other alignment issues in the lower back, hips, and pelvis. My integrated techniques relieve pain and promote healthy posture.
Hip and Knee Discomfort
Reconditioning hip and knee areas affected by imbalances and chronic tension, I restore function and support natural movement patterns for lasting comfort.
Sinus Congestion and Chronic Inflammation
By improving lymphatic flow and addressing structural imbalances, I relieve sinus congestion and reduce chronic inflammation, particularly when connected to neck and jaw tension.
Digestive Issues
Addressing abdominal tension patterns through neuromuscular techniques and lymphatic drainage helps relieve digestive discomforts like bloating and constipation.
Pre- and Post-Natal Support
Provide relief for pregnancy-related discomforts, including pelvic pain, low back pain, and swelling. Post-natal support focuses on realignment, core strength, and addressing diastasis recti.
Scar Tissue and Post-Surgical Recovery
Combining neuromuscular massage therapy with lymphatic drainage, I improve mobility and circulation around scar tissue, enhancing recovery and balanced movement.
If you’re experiencing these or other conditions, my approach in clinical neuromuscular massage therapy, Neurokinetic Therapy, and Lymphatic Drainage supports your body’s natural healing processes, addressing root causes to create a path toward lasting comfort and mobility. Together, we can work toward resilience and well-being.
