Why therapeutic massage for women’s health?

Many common ailments that women suffer from such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, pelvic/menstrual pain and problems, PMS, digestive problems, pregnancy related pain, and scar tissue related to surgery can all benefit significantly from the release of fascial restrictions.

These restrictions in the connective tissue or fascia exert enormous pressure on organs, blood vessels, and nerve structures. The fascial pressure causes increased pain and discomfort, dysfunction, decrease range of motion, and less energy.  Through specialized techniques such as John F Barnes, Myofascial Release work, many of the above conditions can be helped and alleviated through non-invasive treatment.

In my practice, I work with pre- and postnatal lumbosacral pain and other muscular-skeletal issues which create excessive discomfort during and after pregnancy. As well, I some success with relieving symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, painful PMS and digestive problem. Once the fascial restrictions begin to release, patients can experience greater equilibrium in their alignment and less pressure is then exerted on their pain sensitive structures.  In this way, Myofascial release techniques can facilitate the effectiveness of whatever medical treatments the patient may be undergoing.
