Introduction: Me and the massage therapists at Free Bodied are skilled at relieving pain by honing in on trigger points and working out adhesions. We help our clients not only get out of musculoskeletal pain, but also teach self care to keep the pain from returning. Here is what a few clients are saying (from Yelp): "Leah is a massage magician. I don't get in as often as I would like but she is the best massage therapist I have been to. To me, I find her work to be more therapeutic than most massages, which tend to focus only on relaxation. I actually feel better, more aligned and improved, when I leave Free Bodied. Also, I love her online appointment system and she follows up via email a couple days later to see how things are going. I can't recommend her enough." - Laura G., 2015 "Leah and Kami have been very helpful in my process of recovery from a broken collar bone and ribs. I am grateful for their knowledge and skill and enjoyed working with them. Also, last year Zina and Nancy helped me recover from a foot injury, thanks again. All four of them do excellent work" - David S., 2014 "An old back injury combined with an 1,800 mile road trip from Ohio sent me looking for a good massage therapist. I selected Leah because of all the glowing reviews and I have to say she is truly deserving of the five-star rating. I have visited dozens of massage therapists all over the country and Leah is, by far, the best I have ever experienced. I plan to use her services anytime I am in or near Salt Lake City." - Robert S., 2012 It is so rewarding to see a client after a massage stand taller, notice a huge difference in sensation (mainly pain relief!), and see their calmer, more grounded posture.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A new customer fills out a short intake form and we would talk about why you are getting a massage- pain in your neck, just relaxation, post sports rehab, etc.. Then we'd get to work. I'd leave the room while you undress to your comfort level and lie on the table under comfy sheets. I always check in during the massage to see how the pressure is. After the massage is over, I usually go over any exercises or stretches specific to your goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I don't just treat the symptoms and I have extensive training in postural massage therapy & trigger point therapy. I received an Associates Degree in Massage from The Swedish Institute in NY, which requires 1000 hours of training. Utah only requires 600 hours. I also have extra certifications in: "Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians" Workshop 4 Trigger Point Therapy courses Structural Integration for the Head & Neck 2 Lower Back Pain Workshops Nutritional Therapy Workshop From the age of 8, I started helping friends and family through massage, but the reason I started giving massages was because I wanted to receive them! I was lucky enough to work on snowboarding friends who constantly suffered from whiplash, and I learned a lot in those years. I primarily use a combination of trigger point, myofascial, and swedish to help relieve pain, and my training as a modern dancer also informs the self care advice I give.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I help relieve low back pain by uncovering where the tightness/shortness lies, and then lengthening that area. Sometimes it's the hamstrings or the hip flexors, and sometimes it's the back just screaming out because of an acute incidence. Most neck pain is from postural imbalances (or an old injury creating the imbalance), and lengthening the front of the neck and pec area have proven to not only relieve neck pain, but also headaches, shoulder tension, and upper back pain.
