Specialties
Massage Therapy can be supportive for a broad range of complaints and conditions, including injury recovery, chronic pain, pregnancy, mental health, and physical conditioning. It is not a replacement for medical diagnosis and treatment, nor a quick fix for an acute condition. For many clients, massage therapy is a helpful intervention during challenging times, recovery, or for helping to mange chronic conditions. Andrew works with clients as they are, and strives to help them achieve their goals. All are welcome regardless of their age, health, issues, size, or identity. Time is allotted for taking a health history and determining the appropriateness of massage and how best to adapt the session for each client. Sessions can be done undressed and appropriately draped, or clothed. Areas included are based on client comfort and goals. Traditional Zen Shiatsu sessions performed on a futon on the floor are also available. Andrew has been teaching massage therapists and students since 1999. He shares his passion for learning in various subjects including: massage therapy, anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, pathology, sports massage, pregnancy massage, research literacy, and Zen Shiatsu.
