Your Pain Questions Answered 

How can Lisa help with my specific pain issue?

I create fully customized treatments for migraines, herniated discs, TMJ disorders, post-surgery recovery, and chronic postural problems. Using a blend of deep tissue work, joint mobilization, and other specialized techniques, I target the root causes of your pain—not just the symptoms. 

Is your approach effective for long-term pain conditions?

Absolutely. I never use cookie-cutter routines. For chronic conditions or injury recovery, I design each session specifically for what your body needs that day, adapting techniques as your healing progresses. 

How do you create a safe environment for clients with trauma?

I have specialized training in trauma-informed bodywork, allowing me to create a healing space where you feel truly safe. Sessions are entirely client-led—you maintain control over pressure, positioning, and pacing at all times. My approach combines nervous system regulation techniques with gentle bodywork that respects your boundaries. Many clients with trauma histories share that our sessions are the first time they've felt both physically and emotionally comfortable during therapeutic work. 

Specific Techniques 

What is Structural Integration/Rolfing and how does it help?

Structural Integration (sometimes called Rolfing) addresses postural imbalances by working with your body's connective tissue network. This systematic approach realigns your body with gravity, improving movement patterns, reducing chronic strain, and creating lasting postural change. Clients often report better balance, increased flexibility, improved breathing, and significant reduction in pain patterns that have persisted for years. 

How can joint mobilization improve my movement and decrease pain?

Joint mobilization techniques gently restore proper movement to restricted joints that often cause pain and limit range of motion. Unlike adjustments that "crack" joints, these gentle techniques create neurological changes that allow muscles to relax and joints to move more freely. This approach is particularly effective for stubborn shoulder, hip, and spinal restrictions that haven't responded to traditional massage. 

What conditions does Craniosacral Therapy (CST) address?

CST provides relief for headaches, TMJ pain, fibromyalgia, post-concussion symptoms, and stress-related tension. This gentle yet powerful technique releases deep restrictions that other methods often miss. 

Is Craniosacral Therapy uncomfortable like deep tissue work?

Not at all. CST uses exceptionally light touch to facilitate your body's natural healing processes. Many clients experience profound relaxation and relief without the intensity of deep pressure work. 

How can visceral (organ) massage help my digestive issues and back pain?

Visceral massage gently releases restrictions around your digestive organs, helping to improve function, reduce bloating, and ease discomfort. Many clients experience relief from persistent back pain as organ restrictions often pull on the spine and surrounding muscles. This technique effectively addresses IBS symptoms, constipation, chronic digestive distress, and back pain that hasn't responded to traditional muscle work alone. 

Can lymphatic massage speed my recovery after surgery?

Yes—this gentle technique significantly reduces swelling, improves circulation to healing tissues, and helps remove inflammatory compounds, often accelerating recovery timelines. 

What benefits would lymphatic massage offer if I haven't had surgery?

Many clients experience improved immune function, reduced inflammatory symptoms, enhanced detoxification, and a profound sense of relaxation that supports overall wellness. 

How do your pregnancy and postpartum services differ from regular massage?

My specialized approach safely addresses pregnancy-specific discomforts like pelvic pain, sciatica, and postural changes. I use positioning and techniques designed specifically for the pregnant and postpartum body to restore balance and reduce pain.
