Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of massage do you do?
A: Mostly deep-tissue massage. I work slowly and thoroughly and don't rely on pressure to get the work done so there isn't unnecessary pain or tissue damage (a good massage should never leave you sore more than a day or two, if it does, your therapist likely did more harm than good). Pressure should be uncomfortable, but tolerable wihout bracing or resisting. It'll probably suck, but it shouldn't hurt. Always speak up if your therapist is using too much pressure.

Q: So should I see you instead of a chiropractor?
A: Absolutely not, we're opposite sides of the same coin. If you just come to me, then all of the imbalances are still there and anything I relax is going to re-tighten. If you just get adjusted, then anything that's tight is going to pull it right back out. The best way to capitalize working massage and chiro in tandem would be to see me first and get adjusted within the next 36 hours (this way your adjustment won't be as hard on you or your doctor, it will set in easier, and stay longer), although as long as you're getting regular massage and chiropractic care you're doing it right. Being adjusted and then seeing me a week later is still very beneficial.

Q: Do you offer any reflexology or reiki treatments?
A: Magic isn't real. My results are. Let's leave the voodoo to those who can't do manual therapy.

Q: Do you offer any discounts?
A: Yes! I offer an intro rate if it's your first time on my table (intro rates are $59 for an hour, $79 for an hour 1/2, $99 for 2 hours) Additionally, my intro rate is the flat price for any military, first responders, and 911 operators. I also have a referral program: if someone comes in and says that you sent them to me, you save $10 on your next visit!

Q: Is there anything else you recommend I add to my routine?
A: I tell all of my clients that while massage and chiro need to be part of your self care, if you aren't doing yoga you're wrong. "But it's boring!" Deal with it. It works, it's free, can be done anywhere, and it will teach you to relax and feel what you're doing to your body. Meditation and strength training are also important. If you have any dysfunction that limits your ability to do yoga and resistance training, work within your limitations. As always, please seek the help of a qualified professional.
