About THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE

Therapeutic Massage can be defined as any work that engages and effects the body to help negotiate its relationships, optimize its balance of mobility and stability, and which improves the overall function, awareness and experience of the individual.

At BODY IN FOCUS, this manifests as the use of manual therapy techniques, treatment strategies, and client education. We work directly with the tissues of the body (ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia/connective tissue, bone, etc...), incorporating postural and gait assessments, and use movement and awareness cues.
