Thanks for visiting my site! I specialize in deep tissue orthopedic massage, sport massage, and Zen Shiatsu. I perform therapeutic, medical massage geared toward people who need extra support dealing with chronic pain and/or getting their body back to normal after a muscular injury.

I work with a lot of athletes (of all levels!) who know that regular massage is as vital as regular workouts for optimal performance and longevity in their sport(s).

My deep tissue and sports massge is integrative in that I also uitlize Zen Shiatsu (pressure point) techniques to deeply relax your body and reset the meridian system--just like acupuncture but without the needles! This is a perfect combination for optimal repair of hard working muscles.



Call or text me at 585-520-3319  or write to emtomkinson@gmail.com  with any questions

I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your path to better health, less stress, and greater vitality.

Welcome!

 

WHAT I DO:

ALL SESSIONS CAN BE 30, 60, or 90 minutes

  • SWEDISH / DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE This a popular therapeutic form of massage. The techniques-- effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, cross fiber and lateral friction -- are also used in the two following therapies.
  • SPORTS MASSAGE Includes pre- and post-event massage as well as injury prevention and performance improvement. Streching, muscle energy techniques, trigger point work, and myofascial release are all important parts of this sport-specific and customizable service.
  • POSTURE ANALYSIS and CHRONIC PAIN REDUCTION Most chronic BACK and NECK PAIN is caused by poor posture. Poor posture is often caused by habitual and occupational movement or restriction of movement. I can help you identify the root cause of your pain and help your body recover. The first half of the first session is dedicated to hands-off assestment and goal setting.
  • ZEN SHIATSU is a favorite for first-time massage clients because you remain completely clothed during the entire deeply relaxing treatment. I apply broad pressure along the back and limbs. Shiatsu is a japanese technique derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine. The word means "finger pressure" and I use thumb and finger pressure to access qi points similar to those in acupuncture. Benefits are undeniably healing.
