Today, the benefits of massage are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain, headaches, TMJ disorders, neck issues, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, infertility, smoking cessation, depression, and more. And, as many millions will attest, massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness.
I offer exceptional therapeutic massage and am capable of a broad range of therapeutic techniques. Whether you want a stress-relieving and soothing restorative treatment, or a targeted sports massage or rehabilitative post-injury massage, we set the standard in quality and will always be present and intent on doing our very best to further your recovery.
I am now offering Structural Bodywork! “The idea in structural integration is to use connective tissue manipulation (myofascial work) and movement reeducation to lengthen the body and reorganize it around its vertical axis”
— Thomas Meyer
Structural Integration is a wholistic approach to somatic education involving manual therapy, that explores the possibility of change in how you use and experience your body. Through education, awareness, and therapeutic touch, you can release painful, stressful patterns of tension. Effortful habits are replaced with feelings of comfort, ease of movement and posture, and a sense of whole-body coherence.
"Lori was absolutely amazing. From the booking, I called in, to the end of massage. She is so sweet and knows exactly what she is doing. I was having shoulder and neck pain but after my massage I felt completely rejuvenated. If I lived in Capitola or closer area I would have regular appointments with her. Next time I am in town I will be booking with her for sure."
"Lori was able to find all the places that were stuck or impinged and helped to relieve them. I’ve had 1000 massages in my life and this was one of the best therapeutic massages I’ve ever had. I live in San Jose but drive over the hill for Lori’s expertise."
"Lori is ahhhmazing. I came to her in a lot of pain. Her magic hands found my sore spots and worked them out with the perfect balance of pressure, relaxing strokes and her soothing energy. From just first session Im feeling tremendous pain relief and plan to see her regularly."
"As a Chiropractor I would (and I have!) recommend Lori to my patients and friends. She is kind and compassionate yet professional and skillful and would be a great benefit to those looking for exceptional therapeutic body work!"
"She took care of my injuries better than anyone’s else has in the past. Leaving I had the best range of motion with little pain in my neck then I ever had prior to my injury. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone."
"Lori is amazing. She has a great feel for what is wrong and can really dig out the sore spots. I highly recommend her."
"Great massage with amazing skills to unknot those muscles."
"Lori is amazing. She has helped me immensely! I was experiencing a pinched nerve and was diagnosed with tennis elbow, and and compressed disk in my neck. I have had chronic pain for years, she has been able to relieve me of mostly all of my pain and I have far more range of motion in my neck, shoulder, and left arm. Awesome Lady!!"
"Lori is an amazing therapist. Her work is wonderful in every single way! If you need neck (or any work anywhere) done, she is your gal! Absolutely amazing!"
"Lori runs a beautiful massage clinic and is frankly the best therapist I have ever had! She is strong and knows how to move the fascia to help with pain and tension. She is easy to tell what’s bugging you and will actually take care of it. I feel like I’m on a cloud after my 90 min massage! Fergus is a great addition to the atmosphere too! Can’t wait for my next massage!"
