Note from Jim:

*If you are currently using opiods we cannot treat you.

These are some of the more common things

we treat here at Muscle Therapy.

-Headaches and migraine headaches

-Recent "Cricks" and stiffness in the neck.

-Full body deep tissue massage therapy - although my techniques for deep tissue vary from common practices. 

(34 years = a lot of my own techniques.) I don't believe in brutal treatment. No one should be bruised, and while you might be a little sore the next day, you won't be writhing on the table during the session! 

-Low back complaints; schedule for an hour,  If it isn't helping in a visit or two, I will probably recommend another type of therapy from another healthcare professional.

-"Sciatica" - as the term is commonly used, can mean many different things. Sometimes, there can be other serious issues, like a herniated disc. (In cases where serious pain persists, I prefer that clients see a Chiropractor, PT or MD before making an appointment at Muscle Therapy.)

-SI pain - that is, sacroiliac pain that is of muscular origin. I've developed some new protocols for assessment and treatment, having refined them over the last 3 years. Sometimes requires several treatments, mostly hour long sessions.

-ITB issues, which are often caused by excessive pressure issues in the lateral compartment of the thigh.
