I believe in JOINT MOBILIZATION

     I believe in massage as one of the most effective supports for health of the body.  Massage is a gift for both the giver and receiver.  My specialty is joint (shoulders/elbows/wrists, hip/knee/ankle) mobilization.  

     Many therapists will massage a body lying stationary on the table.  One can get the bulk of the muscles relaxed in this way, perhaps 40-60% of the potential relaxation of the body.  But muscles were made to move us at joints, and they do this through tendons which cross the joints.  By moving the body at joints I believe I can come closer to perhaps 90% of the potential relaxation of the body.
