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.
Pressure, pace, and flow are just a few of the elements that are adapted throughout the session, as well as the use of hands, fingers, thumbs, forearms, and elbows (and knees & feet for Zen Shiatsu). There are many different modalities marketed in massage therapy, such as Deep Tissue, Sports, Myofascial, Neuromuscular, etc. All involve different variations of interacting with the client and applying contact, and none have any evidence of being more effective than another. What does improve client outcomes is creating a safe environment of informed consent for the clients and the therapist, where knowledge and skill are used to work with the clients, listening to the clients and their bodies throughout the session.
Also important to outcomes is the experience and understanding in working with different populations of clients. Andrew can work with pregnant clients throughout all three trimesters and beyond. He can also work with oncology clients and clients with a history of cancer. Andrew has also studied Hospice Massage. Massage therapy can be adapted for almost everyone, regardless of their current condition. Andrew believes in bringing the benefits of skilled, compassionate touch to as many people as possible.
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.
