I will address your specific concerns by using appropriate techniques drawn from a range of therapy approaches, such as Clinical Rehabilitative Massage, Myofascial Release and CranioSacral Therapy. Whatever your ailment - injury, chronic pain, stress - your sessions will address both the symptoms and the causes.

Whenever possible, I'll give you tools and techniques that allow you take an active role in your healing and well-being. The goal is for you to feel better today and avoid discomfort in the future. You will receive treatment from me, Mary Ericson.

Clinical Rehabilitative Massage (also called Orthopedic Massage) is the use of assessment, treatment and rehabilitation protocols in order to more effectively apply massage techniques to a wide range of pain and injury conditions.
The myofascial release therapy you will receive at Centered Bodywork is that developed by John F. Barnes, PT.
This approach to myofascial release comprises a comprehensive set of techniques to safely, gently and effectively address pain and postural imbalances caused by myofascial restrictions.
At Centered Bodywork, myofascial release techniques can be used for an entire session or incorporated into a session along with massage or other types of bodywork.
The focus of myofascial release is our body's connective tissue, or fascia, which exists throughout the body.
An ancient technique, cupping uses suction to open and expand tissues, rather than compress them, as in most massage techniques.
By opening tissues in this way, cupping reduces muscle tension, releases accumulated waste products for the body to process, and calms the nervous system.
While cupping can be the primary technique used in a full body massage, it is often most beneficially used in discrete areas as part of a session incorporating other techniques.
Ancient cultures used hollowed out animal horns, bones, bamboo, nuts, seashells and gourds to purge bites, pustules, infections and skin lesions from the body.
