~About Bodywork and who benefits from it:
“Bodywork” encompasses many different modalities, including massage, and offers a wide range of benefits. It can be successful in treating chronic aches, pains & tension or soreness due to accident or injury as well as stress reduction, creating a greater opportunity to heal. Most often, pain & tension in the body comes from some sort of trauma whether it’s from a fall, accident, surgery, chronic overuse pattern or stress. When this occurs, the body usually adopts compensation patterns which can add to the original discomfort. Bodywork is a very successful resource for treating pain & tension. The work I do has been successful in providing relief from TMJ, headaches & migraines, back pain (including sciatica), neck and/or shoulder pain (including whiplash & frozen shoulder), pain or tension in the extremities, lack of range of motion, carpal tunnel symptoms, tension, stress & anxiety and improving postural & structural issues.
