Why Clients Are Requesting More Groin Work
Thursday, August 5th, 2010 | Featured, Groin Injury, Health, Massage, Seattle | No Comments
There are a great many reasons why new clients come to me to have pelvic and
groin massage therapy done.
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.
Partner with Your Massage Therapist, Don’t Use Them!
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 | Featured, Massage, Seattle | No Comments
When I hear someone say they use a massage therapist, I cringe.
Ours is the healing profession that you join with, partner with, and come out more whole with because of this unique partnership. We don’t have a massage practice so we can be used by clients.
We’re in it so we can help, heal, and take care of people’s bodies in way they never could do for themselves.
My clients come to me and they receive bodywork from a skilled massage practitioner, and in my case, they receive bodywork and massage care from someone who specializes in helping people with pelvic and groin pain, lower back pain, muscle strain, and injury massage treatment.
There’s already enough using and being used going on in our world. Don’t add to it.
Create a new thought process, and create a healthier mindset toward your body and health.
You might use a toothbrush or a vacuum cleaner, but you open up and receive a massage from the best massage therapist you can find and work on your deep physical places and processes.
Massage practitioners are partners in care, and they become partners in healing.
While it may seem to some like I’m splitting hairs by focusing on this word “use” I’m not.
Ideas matter in our world, words matter, and who you have perform your bodywork matters a great deal.
Every one of you reading this in Seattle and around Puget Sound can decide today to begin working toward a healthier body, making better choices in healthy movement, and schedule a massage treatment. The rest is up to you.
Take care of your body and treat it well. It’s going to have to last a lifetime.
Finding (And Healing) the Deep Center of Gravity (Part 2.)
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 | Groin Injury, Health, Massage, Seattle | No Comments
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.
Finding the Deep Center of Gravity (Part 1.)

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.
