Newest Wellness Service: Trigger Point Therapy

Truckee Massage is excited to welcome Kelsey to the team! She previously worked in Tahoe City but is now expanding her therapeutic skillset by offering her first specialty service catered to fit each individual’s problem areas. As an athlete who is very familiar with pain, healing, and injuries, she can effectively listen to the body and let it lead her to release points.

 Kelsey just received her Neuromuscular Therapy Certificate, a 450 hour program. The foundation of this program is based on understanding the body’s structure as it relates to function. Her new skill set includes using orthopedic tests to narrow down where the pain is originating from, trigger point therapy, myofacial release techniques, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to help the muscles communicate more effectively with the nervous system. 

Trigger point work is incredibly effective for getting to the root of tension and providing significant release. She unfortunately must get a clean-up surgery for her ankle in November and will not be able to give regular full body massages as it requires standing. To keep her busy and introduce her new exciting knowledge to clients, we now offer a service for her to address some of the most important trigger points in the shoulders, head, face, lower legs and feet while working from a stool. She works very slowly and intuitively listening to the body’s needs and verbal communication with the client. Tools such as guasha stones, cups, CBD, sports rub and hot stones can be utilized to enhance effectiveness of the session. 

 The Customized trigger point service has limited availability now and will pick back up again starting 11/23. Kelsey looks forward to working with you!
