In Home Therapeutic/Medical Massage to improve your movement, flexibility, and posture for long-term relief.
In Lehigh Valley, PA
If nothing else, a massage is a place to let go, calm down, and relax. This is an important first step to allow the body to enter a mode of healing and rejuvenation.
I like to think of massage therapy as creating “windows of opportunity” for your body to realign its structure and reorganize your posture to a more neutral, easily held position.
The ultimate goal of therapeutic massage is to restore natural, comfortable patterns of movement and posture that are best suited to your body and to the demands of living.
You deserve a clear and simple path to feeling better, so you can enjoy life.
I have seen – and experienced – the way constant pain can wear you down over time. Its not fun!
It makes it hard to take care of yourself and can become an endless cycle of feeling worse… if nothing is done to change course.
I have helped hundreds of people in the Lehigh Valley feel better and stay better. I might be able to help you too.
My success comes from traditional massage therapy enhanced by advanced techniques, specific movement, and testing to make changes that matter to you.
Thats me!
This is how I deliver
Releasing long-held limitations in your muscle and fascia creates the opportunity for long-term change.
Introduce proper movement to lubricate joints and change patterns of muscle activation.
Your brain must accept new patterns for lasting change, which happens best when you are relaxed.
The clear path to feeling like yourself
Schedule now or reach out and I’ll review your situation with you to determine if our service is right for you. (I recommend scheduling a session first to reserve a spot).
During your first session I will take time to understand your history and the current state of your body before beginning to develop a unique approach for your situation.
Over the first few sessions we will gather data about how you respond to different approaches. By doing this, we will find out what works best for you and focus on making the most impactful changes..
Once you’re feeling *amazing* – you’re going to want to stay that way, right?
I will help you determine areas of focus to keep you feeling great for years to come.
Some things I might recommend: specific stretches, exercises, ongoing massage, or help from other professionals.
I needed relief from sports injuries. He was able to make a huge difference and went above and beyond to provide me with ongoing stretches and movement… I can’t recommend him enough!
I am an avid hiker and was struggling with a hammer toe and an unhappy hip. Steve helped me have an opportunity… to complete one of the most beautiful hikes in the country.
I had lost mobility in my hips and was having difficulty walking without pain. Through a combination of massage, manipulation and stretching he restored me to a full range of motion.
I don’t know! There are a lot of things that answer depends upon.
It is a very safe bet that your massage will feel good and you will leave feeling relaxed.
As for helping more complicated symptoms: here is a short list of common things that I have seen resolved or improved with massage therapy: chronic muscular aches and pains (neck, back, shoulders, hips, forearms, etc), sciatica, carpel tunnel, frozen shoulder, tmjd, movement restrictions, and chronic feelings of tightness. It has also been helpful for some of my clients sleep, anxiety, and depression.
I would love to discuss the specifics with you, and help you determine if this will be a good fit. You can schedule now and we will go over your situation before your appointment, or you can use the contact info at the bottom of the page to reach out to me!
In cases where I am unable to help directly, I will do my best to refer you to the appropriate provider.
A variety of techniques! I will start with what I think is best and adjust based on your feedback and what I feel is working for you.
I prefer to work by principles rather than specific modalities or systems – however, I do utilize components of the following:
I may incorporate cupping, manual lymphatic drainage, hot and cold therapy, as well as other special modalities depending on your needs.
I firmly believe that massage should feel good.
Your nervous system should be relaxed to get the most benefit – so I tend to avoid overly stressful or painful techniques.
I have plenty of techniques for people that respond well to deep pressure, and for those that don’t.
Communication is key so I encourage you to give feedback during your session.
Some techniques that are slightly uncomfortable may produce a positive effect, but there is a big difference between discomfort and pain!
Improvements in range of motion and pain levels should be noticeable during the first session or in the days following.
Some changes might come quickly. For others, it is more gradual.
Most changes only “stick” after repeat sessions. We always aim for the most improvement in the least sessions.
The patterns in your body come from many years of adapting to demands. While we can speed up the process with targeted work, the body will still take time to adapt to a new state.
