Therapeutic and Medical Massage Therapy
At Fostering Wellness, Massage Therapy isn't viewed as a luxury. It is an important part of your healthy lifestyle. Research supports the use of massage as an important tool in reducing pain and inflammation, in increasing energy and improving circulation, and in improving digestion. It helps treat physical injury and reduces stress and anxiety. Your session will be tailored to your needs and all medical concerns will be addressed.
Kelly strives to create a session that restores range of motion and function, but also provides an atmosphere that promotes relaxation and renewal. Your time is valuable. As such, your session will be a full 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes of hands-on therapy. You will not have time deducted for undressing or to allow for room clean-up. Appointments are scheduled with ample time in between clients for your benefit.
Observing, listening, and assessing a client's complaints are vital to creating a customized massage session. Kelly's background includes over 17 years of experience, including 10+ years working in a medical setting, focusing on specific muscular pathologies and helping patients regain range of motion and functional mobility.
In addition to being a Licensed Massage Therapist, Kelly also holds an A.A.S. degree in Occupational Therapy which helps her to assess and plan sessions to address personal activities. She is also certified in Medical Massage to better address her clients' specific difficulties. Currently, Kelly is also a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage practitioner (Vodder method).
