Barbara, our massage therapist, has completed extensive training in remedial massage, sports injury massage, myotherapies, anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology and  has practiced since 2007 in New Zealand and Australia.

She is experienced in treating a wide variety of client concerns and is skilled at intentionally adjusting her therapeutic  approach  to align with client feedback and responses. 

Barbara's primary remedial massage goals are:

• reduction of pain and soreness,
• the improvement of soft tissue health and muscle condition,
• the increase of range of motion,
• the release of muscle tension,
• the softening of muscle tightness,
• the promotion of blood flow and lymph health to maximize self-healing,
• minimization of scar tissue and adhesion discomfort,
• improvement of bone positioning and support,
• education regarding correct body posture and carriage, and
• tips on how to avoid future injuries.

Remedial massage also boasts an impressive list of secondary benefits including:

• relaxation of over-extended or improperly used muscles,
• increased sense of mental well being and calm,
• heightened awareness of one’s body leading to improved self-care
• and, as some say, an experience of newfound levels of energy.
