Deep Tissue Paradox
Collaboration is one
component of successful Deep Tissue Massage. Anna encourages each of her clients
to stay in touch with their body throughout a session, and “ride the edge
of intensity” to the best of their ability. Paradoxically, the more aware
and communicative a client is during a Massage session, the greater the impact
will be on their health and well-being. Deep Tissue massage is not about “zoning
out”, but rather, it’s about creating a heightened awareness of one’s
own body.
Background
Anna’s own experience with
bodywork led her to consider a career in Massage. Having suffered for 20+ years
from chronic pain due to untreated whiplash resulting from a car accident, Anna
finally felt relief after ten sessions of Massage Therapy. This experience served
as the basis of Anna’s approach to bodywork — collaboration between
the Massage Therapist and client, and a willingness to improve one’s own
body awareness.
Education
Anna earned her degree in Massage
Therapy in 2006 from the Cortiva
Institute – Muscular Therapy Institute in Boston. Her training at the
Cortiva focused on a range of massage techniques and approaches, inlcuding: Swedish/Therapeutic,
Sports, Structural Integration, Trigger Point Treatment, Myofascial Release, and
Deep Tissue.
Anna is currently engaged in 300 hours of structural integration
training at the CORE Institute
School of Massage Therapy and Structural Bodywork.
