Last week, I earned my Orthopedic Massage Certificate from HACC. 🙌
I won’t lie, it was an intense and challenging week, but I came home with so much valuable knowledge and hands-on training that will help me better support my clients.
Orthopedic Massage uses Muscle Energy Techniques, a type of bodywork where the therapist and client work together through gentle contraction, relaxation, and stretching of muscles to help address chronic pain patterns and improve mobility.
This work can be especially beneficial for those experiencing chronic pain, tension, or long-term injuries involving the:
✅ neck
✅ shoulders
✅ low back
✅ hips
✅ knees
✅ ankles
These techniques can be incorporated into a therapeutic massage session or offered as a standalone service. Most of the work can also be done over clothing, so clients do not need to fully undress if that feels more comfortable.
If you’re curious about whether this approach may be supportive for you, feel free to ask at your next session. As always, I charge based on time scheduled, not by service type, so we can decide together what will best support your needs that day.💚
