Clinical Massage Therapy

I offer my lifetime skills as a clinical massage therapist. I specialize in diminishing chronic pain conditions, arthritis, orthopedic issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, knee and leg problems, postural distortions, neck and back pain, TMJ, headaches, etc. I offer pregnancy massage, and I also enjoy giving relaxation massages as well.

I like to perform postural assessments and do orthopedic regional testing of joints, if appropriate. I love my work in massage therapy, and I offer individual approaches to assisting people reach their goals of improving movement and decreasing pain.

I am proficient with a wide variety of techniques, and I may employ a variety of these techniques in one session.

From light pressure to deep pressure, deep tissue to cranial sacral unwinding, to intra-oral techniques, to neuromuscular techniques, to myofascial release techniques, to contract relax to structural integration, to Swedish massage techniques.

I've practiced so many techniques, and it all depends on what may be required to assist you in your rehabilitation process or again, simply to relax. Medical massage, yes! Sports massage, yes, Injury treatment, yes! I offer billing to a few insurance companies where I am a preferred provider. Give me a call or schedule an appointment online through my website.

  I came to Luata Bray feeling that my body was hardening into a concrete casing of pain. Though I'm only 52, I'd had joint problems for decades that resulted in a hip replacement in 2007. Now the other hip was degenerating in the same way. Even my orthopedic surgeon did not know the cause. When I started having deep muscle and soft tissue pain (to the point of not being able to sleep), I knew I had to act on a co-worker's recommendation to see Luata Bray. Luata started with the most thorough, systematic examination of my body structure that I've ever had, at the end of which she told me exactly why my hip joints had worn out at such an early age and what I needed to do to halt the destruction. In the eight months since, Luata has literally put me back on my feet. It dawned on me one day that this was how I remembered feeling when I was 12. She has unknotted so many painful snarled muscles in my body that I find I'm discovering a whole different side to my personality--laughing, relaxed, buoyant, ready for challenges. As Luata says, it is a journey. But it is one that she takes with you, supporting you with her strength, her thorough knowledge of the human body, quirky sense of humor, and, above all, her otherworldly skill with her hands. I could go on. But instead of reading more, you should make an appointment.
