I work using techniques that warm the tissue up and allow me access to the muscle and fascia in a noninvasive way. My intent is release and relief, not pain. With that in mind, my methods generally give very little discomfort at all as I work with and against the grain of the muscle to get it to relax. Some go to a massage therapist for pain relief, some to relax, and some come to experience massage for the first time. I welcome everyone with a massage that fits that day's need.
