Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips

The Rossiter System
I spent a week with Richard Rossiter recently to hone my Rossiter System techniques! Even though I do this work in my practice often, I have more, precise techniques and postures to help you to improve your quality of life and increase your agility and mobility by releasing chronic pain.

The Rossiter System is an intense form of connective tissue stretching. For you to receive maximum benefits, you must be ready (emotionally and physically) to eliminate pain from your body. You must do the locks correctly. You must go just beyond the “delicious discomfort” zone for up to 20 seconds for up to 3 repetitions and for up to 3 different stretches.

The Rossiter System techniques, by itself, or used within the Structural Integration system systematically addresses your body to help you find your own organic, natural alignment. When you are in your natural alignment, you are free of pain and you move with grace and freedom. If you are ignoring pain, taking pain medications, and are deciding whether to get surgery (like knee, hip, back, carpal tunnel, etc.) surgeries, bodywork addressing the connective tissue can help alleviate pain and provide you a feeling of being light and free in your body.

These intense stretching techniques can be used on most all people ready to do the work! It allows for immediate and long-term relief of soft tissue injuries and chronic structural pain.

For All Military

salute-to-us-flag_fullAcupuncture and chiropractic services are now provided at the San Diego military healthcare facilities and “outside” of the military healthcare system. Work within their guidelines/procedures in order to receive these services in the local community.

Be daring and ask your military healthcare provider about seeing a massage-bodywork practitioner in your area if you are experiencing chronic pain, considering or recovering from surgery, healing from injury, or wanting to add another harmonizing therapy to improve your current health situation (a great complement to yoga, talk therapy, etc.).

Currently, the military healthcare system has not recognized massage-bodywork services as a healing therapy. Share with your military healthcare providers the benefits you received from massage-bodywork therapies. And, hopefully, eventually, massage-bodywork therapies will be incorporated into the healthcare system and hospitals like acupuncture and chiropractic services.

I have reasonable session rates for active duty, retired, veteran, and government personnel.

Information about My Practice

I would like to partner with other health practitioners (orthopedic surgeons, dentists, doctors, chiropractors, counselors/therapists, coaches), health facilities (gyms, exercise studios (karate, yoga, dance)), and small businesses in the city of San Diego.
