I specialize in working with local Maui residents, part-time Maui residents, and Maui tourists. We accept workman compensation and car accident insurance claims. A 2001 study showed that massage for back pain yielded more effective pain management than did self care or acupuncture.

Orthopedic massage involves therapeutic assessment, manipulation and movement of locomotor soft tissue to reduce pain and dysfunction. This allows the restoration of structural balance throughout the body so that we can focus on prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal dysfunctions. In plain English, it makes you feel better, faster, without pain.

It's objectives are to restore structural balance to muscle groups throughout the body and decompress arthritic or painful joints. Muscle groups shorten due to injury, prolonged poor posture or repetitive motions that cause pain. These muscle groups need to be released for pain relief to occur. Some examples of issues that are easily addressed with Orthopedic massage are: Whiplash injuries, Thoracic outlet syndrome, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, low back pain, hip pain, knee pain, tendinitis, plantar fasciitis.

Combining techniques allows for better results. One person may respond to cranial sacral therapy while another requires myofascial release and stretching. This is why clear communication between client and therapist is vital.
