aMission: breathe efficiently, move fluidly, create balance within
Given up hope of ever feeling good again?
Living in pain after an injury? Or just living in pain? Have you gone to doctor after doctor, only to be prescribed painkillers that make you feel fuzzy-headed and wreck your liver? Tried physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, crystal healing, chakra cleansing, aura fluffing, yoga, pilates, past life regression--anything and everything to feel better, only to have it all fail? Good thing you're here now. |
Ermagerd, Marissa is the shizznit. |
All massage is not created equal.
Welcome to aMovement.
Soft tissue superhero
Relaxation massage is a wonderful thing. Hot stone massages are awesome. I know tons of people who swear by a good spa day.
But y'know what? That's not me, and that's not what I do. What I do? I get people out of pain. |
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. |
The difference
Like other massage therapists, I work with your body.
Unlike other massage therapists, I also work with your brain. (Mmmmm . . . braaaaains.) Not in a counselor-type of way, but the work I do creates new neural pathways in the brain to help you move in an efficient, pain-free manner. Through repetition, your brain learns to follow those pathways rather than the old ones. Your body follows suit. |

Not just rehabilitation
But wait! There's more!
Learning how to move efficiently and effectively isn't just good for recovering from injury, but for preventing it as well. With aMovement, we can teach you how to PREhabilitate your body!

Five hours to change your life
If you're not functioning *85-100% better within 5 visits, I'm missing my mark and we'll discuss referring you to another healthcare practitioner.
I'll admit, I've had to cry "Uncle" a few times, but not often, and it's (almost) always been as a result of something outside my scope of practice, such as a torn rotator cuff that needed surgery. I'm good, but I'm not that good. |
Like water through a riverbed, the human body wants to travel in the easiest way with the least resistance. Let us help you find your flow again. |
OMG, what are you going to do to me?
It won't hurt, I promise. At least, not much. Nothing outside the level of "good pain."
