I
practice medical massage which is the science of
applying specific pressure to various body parts in
order to make them function better. Using my palpation
skills I work with body parts in order to make them
function better. Using my palpation skills I work with
skin, fascia, blood vessels, muscles and all body
systems to improve total health. While massage is
relaxing, my emphasis is on healing. Massage is powerful
and affects the whole person, physically, socially,
emotionally, and spiritually. I use my medical knowledge
of body processes, in both diseased and healthy people
to treat injuries. |
