Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I pride myself on listening to your complaints, aches and pains, immediately addressing your issues and providing you a customary massage session with a blend of several modalities to give your body what it needs. I come from the corporate world and understand all of the horrible habits and bad postures "we" tend to have. I also offer you 15 years of experience in reviewing, analizing and presenting personal injury demand claims to insurance companies. My practice has attracted US Olympic gold medalist atheletes, professional football, and MLB players and also “Silicon Valley Syndrome” engineer sufferers, fibromyalgia patients, & carpal tunnel syndrome surgery candidates. Sports massage provides you with the restorative effects of massage therapy and the corresponding psychological benefits which are crutial for your continued athletic success. So too is an awareness of your mind-body connection. Massage therapy can provide you with an awareness of your body that few other therapeutic modalities can match and you will experience an overall difference from the inside out. My knowledge and experience with professional athletes and body posture and awareness is why my work produces results. I am passionate about my work and being a part of my clients health and well-being is a great satisfaction to me. The body is very forgiving and when I begin to see the changes the body takes on after benefiting from the therapeutic massage session(s), well that's What I Love About My Job!

The experiecnce I has in Julia's table was amazing. I told her exactly what my concerns were and she hit all those troubled areas. I left feeling fabulous and renewed, exactly what i was looking for. I actually feel taller after the work she did on my shoulders and neck. I have scheduled my monthly massages for the next 6 months and have reffered a few friends already. Can't wait for my next visit with Julia.

This was not a traditional massage. As a competitive soccer player, Julia @ Therapy Hands has provided me with an increase range of motion in my hips and legs. i am now pain free. the knowledge behind Julia's work shows. Deep tissue, resistive stretching and trigger point is what my sessions consisted of and my performance has increased. Maintaining balance within my body has forced me to proper posture and proper mechanics. Highly recommend Julia and her distinct work!

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Every massage therapy session is customized to the areas that may be causing you pain or discomfort, and will be focused on as a top priority. You will be asked about your goals and any pain happening in your body at the time of the session.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    10 tips for a Great Massage Be as receptive and open to the massage process as possible. Don’t eat just before a massage session. Let your body digest your meal first. Be on time. If you arrive in a frenzied, rushed state, it may take longer to relax. Take off only as much clothing as you are comfortable removing. If you don’t want to remove your clothing, wear clothing that will be comfortable during the massage and will allow the massage therapist to touch and move the areas of your body you expect will need to be massaged. Privacy - The therapist will either leave the room or otherwise provide privacy while you undress. A sheet or towel is provided for draping during the massage and the therapist will uncover only the part of your body being massaged, ensuring that modesty is respected at all times. After the massage is finished, you will be provided with privacy while dressing. Communicate with your massage therapist Before the session, give accurate health information and let the massage therapist know your expectations and reasons for the massage. Allergies to Oils, Lotions, Powders – The therapist may use oil, lotion or powders to reduce friction on your skin. If you are allergic to any oils, lotions or powders, tell your massage therapist, who can choose a substitute. Some massage therapists play recorded music during the massage session. Others find music distracting. If it’s provided, let your massage therapist know if you have any music preferences or if you would prefer they turn off the music. Some people like to talk during a massage, while others remain silent. Tell your massage therapist what you prefer. During the massage session, report any discomfort, whether it’s from the massage or due to any problems or distractions related to the environment, e.g., room temperature, music volume, lighting, etc. Give feedback to the massage therapist during the massage on the amount of pressure, speed of hand movement, etc. If anything happens that you dislike or seems improper, you have the right to ask the massage therapist to stop. If necessary, you also have the right to end the session. Don’t be afraid to discuss any apprehensions or concerns. It’s important that you be as comfortable as possible during your massage. Your massage therapist is a professional dedicated to do his or her best to help you feel at ease. Remember to breathe normally. Breathing helps facilitate relaxation. People often stop or limit their breathing when they feel anxious or a sensitive area is massaged. Relax your muscles and your mind. Tightening up by contracting or hardening your muscles during the massage is counterproductive. Let your massage therapist know this is happening. They may need to adjust the massage technique they use and may also be able to help you relax the affected area. If you find your thoughts are racing during the massage, one way to be more body-centered and to quiet your mind is to follow the hands of the massage therapist and focus on how the touch feels. Drink extra water after your massage. Don’t get up too quickly and do allow for some open, quiet time after your massage session. If you’re dizzy or light headed after the massage, do not get off the table too fast. It also may take a little time to integrate or absorb the results of the massage session. Be prepared to schedule several massage sessions. Massage has its greatest benefits over time. The therapeutic effects of massage are cumulative, so the more often you get a massage, the better you will feel and the more quickly your body will respond. From one session to the next, relaxation deepens as the chronic patterns of stress in the body are affected and released. If you’re getting massage to address chronic muscular tension or recovery from a soft tissue injury, more than one session is usually needed. Julia I. Tabarez, CMT Therapy Hands
