Are the Following Familiar to You?
- My neck and shoulders are so tight, I'm getting headaches.
- I hold all of my tension between my shoulder blades; I can feel the knots and they are painful.
- My low back feels fatigued and sometimes it spasms.
You, like many other people, need someone to work through the stress balled up in your neck and shoulders or the anxiety that's built up in your lower back.

What a Treatment Plan Might Look Like
First, calm the nervous system and lay the foundation for the rest of the therapy to penetrate and integrate.
Next, gently knock on the tissue's door with a little Swedish (the mother of all massage) to let the muscles know that relief is on the way.
Then, ask permission to "drop in" to the deeper layers of tissue with the aptly named Deep Tissue technique.
Finally, toss in some myofascial release and/or facilitated stretching to round out the massage.
