When most of us think of massage, we think of oil and bare skin, like Swedish or Deep Tissue. But, what many people don't realize, is massage can take on many forms, from relaxation massage to clinical treatments for specific conditions (clothes on and without the oil). All massage therapists are trained for relaxation massage, but clinical work takes a great deal more time and education (as in years, not months).
Where I fall on this scale, is the latter, taking more than a hundred hours of continuing education per year. So what does all this hard work mean for you? I treat the root cause of the problem, not just your symptoms, providing lasting relief from your pain and dysfunction.

I perform hands-on body therapy that is highly effective in treating a wide variety of conditions, injuries, and even chronic pain. I employ a wide range of techniques targeting specific deep connective tissue, thereby, normalizing tone in tight and painful muscles, joints, and other body structures.
Plantar fasciitis is a painful foot condition condition that involves tightening of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot. Often the first few steps of the morning are the worst. In the past, typical interventions for plantar fasciitis pain involved stretching the plantar fascia, either by deep tissue massage, or the use of scraping tools.

I mentioned to Jim my left knee was bothering me. It bothered me for years. The best thing I did for my knee was to see Jim. Jim worked on my nerves and did some gentle re-aligning of my muscles. He is caring and knowledgeable at what he does. After an hour and a half session, I really felt an improvement on my knee. The dull pain was gone. It's been more than a week since I saw Jim and I am feeling great! Thanks, Jim!

I spent about six months going to a physical therapist for my sciatic pain. All they had me do were exercises that only helped a little. Then I saw an ad for James and decided to try something new. Well, within three visits my sciatica was no longer waking my up at night, and after a few more, it was all but gone. I wish I had found James a long time ago, it would have saved me a lot of sleepless nights.
