But the two main reasons are to gain greater freedom of movement and to live healthier longer.

Wow. Good stuff. Right?

Think about those two health benefits and consider the less healthy options—an early hip
replacement, chronic lower back pain, and stress that can eventually lead to things like
prostrate cancer and incontinence issues.

Not so good.

Maybe you have a groin or pelvic injury, or a constant tightness in your pelvic region,
and you keep putting off having professional massage work done.

Often the clients who find me through referral or word of mouth are ready for the type
of healing pelvic and groin work I do, and are eager to feel a significant improvement
in their bodies. They may have hit a wall in treatment with other therapists and know
something was missing, and are ready to try again.

A big part of feeling better is getting massage therapy for the problem areas you know
about, and having bodywork done so you’ll prevent future problems.

Groin and pelvic massage helps to open up and create space in hip joints, and relieve the stress that’s been building up.

In Seattle and our surrounding communities, people have the same stresses and problems that everyone else does in other parts of our country.

We just happen to live in a city surrounded by nature and are constantly reminded that we’re a part of nature.

I believe it’s in our nature to be smart creatures that solve problems.

Now is the best time to discover how much better your body will feel when you’re good to it and get the massage therapy you need.

What do so many of my friends and massage clients in Seattle have in common?

What one activity do they spend so many hours doing during the course of a day?

Sitting in the same position, and most likely in an uncomfortable office chair. Not just one day a week or sometimes, but day after day. And to be blunt, that shit accumulates in the mid-section of the body, as well as other areas such as shoulders, hands, upper arms.

You can feel it without even thinking about it all that much. Can’t you?

Over time, the body just holds onto this stress and strain, and one day an area in your back or hip gets pushed too far.

You go from uncomfortable to truly hurting, and you wonder how it happened.

Even if you just get up and do a few easy simple stretches, you can feel a difference in your energy level.

But having some deep tissue massage work done is more likely what is needed, especially when you’ve been ignoring those neck pains, shoulder twinges, and chronic lower back pain that just doesn’t seem to go away.

Daily tension gets ignored, and pushed down and held in places like the butt and pelvis area.

And since this is such a core area that affects your whole body’s movement, sooner or later, muscle and joint tension builds up and creates problems.

Sometimes when people say things like “That really gives me a pain in the ass.” they are being more literal than they think.

Please pay attention to your body throughout the day.

Listen to what it’s telling you.

Maybe it wants to stretch, and if you take five minutes to unplug from the wired world we live in and listen to the inner world of your own body’s rhythms, you’ll get rewarded with a deeper connection to your own life energy.

And won’t that feel great?

Healing massage is about many things, but there’s a basic truth: good massage requires forming a partnership. This means creating a safe space to do the deep healing massage work that you need and I can provide.

When you locate the specific areas you store your pain, you can begin healing them.

One place we store deep stress is in the pelvic region. People can gain greater movement in this amazingly important part of the body. Deep tissue massage therapy can bring some major release in the pelvis and groin area.

Take a deep breath,

and feel where it is, you store the stress and tension in your body.

If your pain is stored in the center of your body, you probably have pelvic issues that could use some work.

Working with many types of bodies and personality types at my office on Capitol Hill in Seattle , I understand how pain can block a person’s focus and prevent the free flow of energy that we want to always have moving through us at optimum levels.

We’ve all experienced our selves flowing and feeling so in synch with the world, just feeling great.

So we want to get to a place of feeling connected with this great sense of movement we carry within us.

I want to bring clients to that place within, and help them to be creators of their own healing. Sounds good? Right?

Anyplace a massage therapist works on, that holds deep trauma and stored pain can uncomfortable at first.

And since the tightness in an area of the body is so near the genitals, working near it can bring up all sorts of emotional and physical issues.

As I said in the first part of this article, this is a highly charged area for many reasons.

Our culture simply doesn’t support or even talk very much about the idea of healing and release work done in this area.

I want to see our blocks around this body area change, and I’m doing something about transforming this outdated mindset.

A good massage treatment for yourself is just as much a willingness to become involved in your own healing as it is a way to let go and feel healing touch that will stay with you. I partner with and join into the healing massage treatments with my clients.

We take a journey together, and the trip is about restoring energy and health to the places you’ve been storing all the lifelong pain, pressure, and problems.

Bodies are often smarter than we are. They want to be healed.

Let’s face it, we all want to feel better. As a massage practitioner I know this fact in a deep way. Clients come to me with a long list of stresses, strains, pains, aches, and just plain old built up body tension.

No only do I understand this, but the bodyworkers I often network with know this as well. People want to feel better, in every part of their body. Even in certain areas it might be difficult for them to talk about. Pain that comes up when they stretch or move a certain way that shouldn’t be so painful.

One thing that I’ve been discussing with my fellow healing profession workers is my shift in focus to groin and pelvic injury treatment.

Since this is a delicate subject, even talking about it with other massage practitioners can be like opening a can of worms that either calls for a lengthy discussion or becomes a conversation stopper.

You never know.

In our society, the genital region is taboo and working around this highly charged area is something most massage practitioners and bodyworkers just do not do. And I get it. I completely understand why groin and pelvic work isn’t all that popular with my fellow massage practitioners.

Let me put this out there: People truly need this type of elemental and integrative body work. So much of our culture’s stresses and long-term pains are held onto in the pelvic region.

Who knows if it began with the repressed way we’ve held things inside for generations, and it may date back to the whole formation of this great big crazy body of a country (the body inside our own minds, the body politic, the bodies of all these humans around us we come into contact with), but healing and release needs to happen more often.

Sexuality, body/mind connection, center of gravity, flowing sensuality.

When your body begins to feel more flexible, you can better express yourself in daily life, in relationships, and in all areas of your life.

In a city like Seattle, where the clinics and spas are packed with talented professional massage therapists, how do you choose your massage practitioner?

What do you need? A spa setting? A clinic? Hot stones or perhaps energy work?

Your needs are specific. What I provide is specific as well.

I specialize in treating injuries in the groin, pelvis, low back and hips. I have been focusing on this work since 2002 while also treating all the other types of injuries as well.

I had recognized at that time that I was afraid to touch people?s inner thighs during massage.

My work ethics, my pride, my professional standards and my ego were not very happy with this.

So I went to work getting more comfortable with doing massage in the groin and pelvic areas.

I started practicing on closer friends, trades colleagues and long-term clients of that time. At first, I asked lots of ?are you ok with this? questions.

Over time, I have been able to treat pelvic and groin injuries with not only confident specificity but with care, safety and compassion as well!

It?s very exciting to say all this considering, on the business end of my massage practice, I have been contemplating a niche.

Choosing a niche is like jumping off a cliff and I have niche-ed before and it did not go as well as I had planned.

And considering that niche ? this particular niche ? is like jumping off an even taller cliff.

Be-gad.

But the truth is, there?s a need out there for massage Practitioners that are adept in groin massage, and pelvic massage!

People get injured there! It needs to be treated. I do it well and, dare I say it, it?s one of my great passions to treat the pelvic and groin structures in my bodywork practice.

People that have received my work often comment on how the pain truly decreased in their low backs in a significant and lasting way.

I am adept at core-muscular treatment over-all but the pelvis, hips and thighs are where my skills and talents as a treatment specialist really shine.
