Even before the inception of Comfort Massage, my philosophy has been to
continually improve and refine my assessment skills. No matter how soothing a
massage may feel, if the injured or painful tissue is not properly identified first,
recent pain and injury will turn into a chronic, more difficult problem to solve.
From my commitment to education, I have learned the vital importance of
thorough assessment work followed by the willingness to use multiple
techniques. My continued priority is to provide “comfort through touch and education."
This comes not only from my effective touch but from the necessity for my clients to
do their homework. This is the final ingredient to facilitate their success toward
sustained pain-free movement. Whether you are an athlete, student, busy
professional or a mom or dad, pain-free muscle function is achieved from
thorough assessment work, beneficial touch, and client participation.
