One thing that differentiates my massage from almost every other massage out there, is that I perform Rhythmic Strumming. A technique I have been developing over my entire career wherein I use my hands & knuckles to strum your muscle fibers. I do this not only to relax and warm the fibers of the surrounding tissues; also to establish an almost sonographic view in my mind’s eye of the entire muscle area. I can “see” dysfunction, tension and binding caused by myofascial adhesions using this strumming technique. 

A side effect of this technique is that I generate a significant amount of heat in my hands. It is very common for clients to express how much relaxing  energy and warmth they are feeling during my massage. 

The problem with many of the traditional deep tissue techniques such as Trigger Point Therapy and Active Pin & Stretch is that they do not provide any communication back to the therapist. And they are only effective on isolated areas of tissue. 

They often leave the therapist playing whack-a-mole searching for the root cause without knowledge of how everything is connected.

There is no dysfunction that exists by itself in a vacuum. Whatever is causing you pain or limited range of motion is doing so in a connected series of smaller dysfunctions stemming from a root cause. It is wrong to treat dysfunction without understanding the effect to the entire muscle, joint and area. 

Rhythmic Strumming provides the way for your body to communicate to me, a more complex understanding of what is needed for your full physical restoration.
