Testimonials - Miracle of Touch

3/16/2019

0 Comments

 
I am always amazed at the miracle of touch. I never know if what I am doing will make a difference, so it is always nice to receive feedback that I helped to reduce pain. As a massage therapist, I don't do anything "magic" - I simply help the body into the parasympathetic mode, or into a state of relaxation, and the body can begin to heal itself.
One regular client said that he considered me one of his healthcare providers - along with his doctors, physical therapists, and other providers. That was one of the best compliments I have ever received! I would love to work together with other helathcare practitioners in meeting your needs. -Heidi

Testimonials from Clients

"I began therapy with Heidi about two months ago, and I have seen good improvement in my flexibility and circulation. I've broken the seventy-year-old barrier and my muscles and joints have gotten stiff and sore from injury and over-use, plus the circulation isn't as efficient as it once was. Heidi has done a lot to improve my overall well-being and lift my spirits in general. She's easy to talk with, listens closely and thinks before speaking. I've worked with several massage therapists for health reasons over the years; my profession was a very physically demanding one and I incurred much injury and tissue damage before retiring. 

Heidi continually adds to her knowledge database, uses her books and the Internet to learn about specific issues pertaining to her clients, is one of the more knowledgeable therapists I've found and is my favorite. I'm sincere when I say I am grateful to her for her innate need to understand the human body, her (ongoing) help, her ability to communicate on a deeper level and her compassion. These are the things I find important in a medical professional, and that is where she excels  Thanks, Heidi!"
-Jim M. (March 2019)
​"My experience at Renewal Massage Clinic has been such a blessing as I was recuperating from chronic sciatica and hip bursitis. I had been seeing a physical therapist and was released from his care with a slight amount of relief from pain. Heidi was successful with doing positional release in the area along with her healing touch massage over several months of therapy. Now, free from pain, I feel like I have my life back again and will be forever grateful to her and her knowledge and expertise."

"The opportunity to have Heidi work on my sports induced issues was helpful. She has a calming and reassuring disposition that makes the process smooth. Being afraid she took the time to explain what was happening with my body and how I could assist in the healing process as she massaged, found pressure points and moved the legs and back. I am hoping for a return appointment."
-Stephanie P. (Aug. 2018)
"Heidi came to my  rescue last Friday. . . . I was awakened by severe back pain. . . I received no help from my physician and was left to experience continued severe pain over the weekend. I decided to call Heidi . . . . [She] had family visiting . . . . [yet] was very empathetic and responsive to my needs. . . . She massaged my back for only about 15 minutes.I experienced almost instant pain relief.  I went home from the massage and fell asleep. The pain was gone and hasn’t returned. . . . She is a hero health care provider.

5 Ways Massage Can Improve Your Health

2/17/2015

From the AMTA Website, 21 February 2014
Massage therapy can play an important role in your health regimen. Get the details on how you can benefit from regular massage therapy.


Five Health Benefits of 
Massage Therapy

Control stress

The longterm effects of stress can take emotional and physical tolls. Massage therapy may relieve stress and conditions associated with it, such as tension headaches.

Increase immunity

Medical research indicates that massage therapy can help boost the immune system by increasing the activity level of the body’s natural "killer T cells,” which fight off viruses.

Mental health and wellness

Research suggests that symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression (all associated with mental health) may be directly affected with massage therapy.

Pain management

Pain can negatively affect a person’s quality of life and impede recovery from illness or injury. Recent findings highlight the role of massage in pain management.

Improve physical fitness

Elite and recreational athletes alike can benefit from massage therapy--massage can reduce muscle tension, improve exercise performance and prevent injuries.

DR. MEHMET OZ
KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Denver, Colorado 
September 2014
Picture
Dr. Mehmet Oz is a well-known cardiologist, researcher, author, and TV personality. He shared his personal experiences with massage and is an advocate of having massage therapists in hospitals.
Highlights from his presentation:
After surgery, massage therapists provide touch in a painless way. During surgery our bodies have been subjected to trauma and pain. Through massage we let the body have pleasure sensation in addition to healing benefits.
Massage is a way to "reboot" the body through relaxation. Sleep is when we produce growth hormone which is what we need in healing our body. Massage helps put the body in a state of self-healing.

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD)

Book Now
Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is one of the most powerful massages I know to affect change in the body. It is a very safe and effective technique that helps stimulate the lymphatic system to function more efficiently and is useful for many conditions where lymph flow may be compromised.

Benefits of Manual Lymph Drainage

  • Reduce swelling by moving the interstitial (between cells) fluid into the lymphatic system. Sometimes I have observed immediate reduction in swelling as I have worked on a client.
  • Clear toxins from the body by facilitating waste removal at the cellular level and assists with bringing nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
  • Reduce bruising by clearing out the cellular waste.
  • Calming effect on the autonomic nervous system. Many people have reported to me that they sleep better after a MLD.
