Michelle graduated Valedictorian of her class and has been a licensed massage therapist since 2000. She has focused her practice on the treatment of acute and chronic injuries and pain. Michelle specializes in corrective bodywork & massage to not only alleviate pain and dysfunction for the short term, but to help restore proper functioning of the body for longer lasting results. This is accomplished through the use of specific manual therapy/massage techniques, muscle lengthening and strengthening, and client education and participation. Each treatment is tailored to the individual needs of the client/patient. Michelle is dedicated to providing the best possible treatment possible to help others overcome pain and dysfunction.
In 2005, Michelle became nationally certified in medical massage through the Medical Massage National Certification Board. This certification process included 500 hours of advanced training focusing on the ability to evaluate for indications and contraindications, understanding of soft tissue pathologies, and appropriate protocols for treating those pathologies.
Michelle has worked extensively with chiropractors and physical therapists throughout her career. She is currently training with Brent Brookbush PT of the Brookbush Institute.
Michelle does offers relaxation massage, but it is not a spa like experience. There are no hot stones, essential oils, hot towels or other spa type add ons.
Standard pressure is firm with moderate depth to start. Deeper pressure will be by layers. If you want a lighter pressure, you will need to speak up. If you are seeking an extremely hard pressure, Michelle may not be the right therapist to meet your needs.
Michelle is excited to be working with RC Health & Fitness. Training, Recovery and Maintenance can all be accomplished in the same location. Please call to schedule and appointment or if you have questions.
