Massage Therapy

The progressive mind-set of my massage therapy program is addressing our clients from their functional, professional and individual arrangements. It’s an exploration of what can be changed when we alter the client’s experience. A logical unfolding of the musculature and fascia tissue within a method that deeply senses and understands immediate, long term and even unexpressed needs. We call it Bodywork and KQ or Kinaesthetic Intelligence. We all know about IQ, but here we focus on body-centred intelligence.
Working closely with our chiropractors, each client’s care plan is part of a unique integrative approach. As a team, we help our client’s progressively move their postural arrangement from wherever they begin, towards a dynamic and more functional state of balance. In the short term, this means less pain and dysfunction and an improved ability for the body to accelerate healing. The end result is we care about our client’s long-term health and wellbeing through integration of both the structure and the musculature.
