Allison Avery, LMT
Allison Avery has a degree in Psychology and is a graduate of Advanced Massage Therapeutics. She knew she wanted to help folks in some way but was unsure until her own journey with chronic pain that eventually led her to a career as a licensed massage therapist.
“Living in today's times can be very overwhelming and stressful and our bodies are constantly managing all of it. Whether the body manifests this stress as chronic pain, anxiety, or an injury, massage is a great way to decompress, become connected with ourselves, and shed the unnecessary layers we have picked up along the way.” Allison’s toolkit includes the John Barnes’ technique of Myofascial Release.
Allison is available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

THERAPIES
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage works to melt away muscle tension and increase blood flow. Provides relief from specific issues such as headaches or lower back pain. This option can be tailored to needs of each client for therapies such as chronic pain and injuries.
Kinesio Taping
The goal of kinesio taping is to provide support of muscles while also giving mobility. Taping can help speed the healing process by working muscles with movement to also provide increased circulation.
TMJ Assessment and Massage
Intraoral massage increases ability to open mouth maximally and increase range of motion in neck. During the session we will also address neck and shoulder pain that can assist in TMD issues. TMJ massage will also help with those that suffer from headaches, migraines, all over head, neck, and shoulder pain.
Personal Injury Care
Personal Injuries such a motor vehicle accident can leave your body in dire need of skilled bodywork. Our team is able to assist you in your care. With a referral from your doctor, we are able to work with the insurance company to give you the care you need.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy includes various manual techniques adapted to your specific needs. The main focus is on the complementary light touch techniques of myofascial release, cranio-sacral therapy and visceral mobilization. Trigger point releases and positional releases can also be incorporated in the treatment.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety."
Integrative Reflexology®
Integrative Reflexology® activates the zone reflex points and meridian points, facilitating beneficial responses in the nervous, electrical and chemical systems. Integrative Reflexology® is a form of foot, hand and ear reflexology that uses massage techniques to stimulate reflex areas, along with thousands of nerve endings to achieve therapeutic effects throughout the body.
Common feedback includes: improved sleep, improved digestion, less pain and congestion, increased sense of calm, and greater energy among many other benefits.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release therapy (MFR) was developed by John F. Barnes, PT to specifically address the fascia, the connective tissue that runs like a three-dimensional web throughout the body. MFR involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This session will come after your initial assessment as we continue to work on releasing fascia.
