“The principles found in Hilot are based on the unique relationship between blood vessels and nerves, the proprioceptive mechanism, and how the energetic systems (also found in traditional Chinese medicine) are accessed via the neurovascular bundle, the connective tissue housing blood vessels and nerves.

Over my forty years of practicing massage therapy, I have developed a very specific form of soft tissue proprioceptive retraining, a treatment that vastly improves joint mobility, muscle performance and range of motion, after an injury. Many times an injury to soft tissue results in neuromotor dysfunction: pain, muscle spasm and inflammation. Inflammation, in turn, affects neighboring muscle groups, compromising the body’s ability to function normally.

My treatment addresses both localized inflammation and reactive neurovascular dysfunction associated with underlying muscle, joint or tendon pain. I develop plans for my clients that include evaluation of the neuromotor dysfunction, targeted goals for treatment, and specific interventions to address their disability.”
