Foam Rolling versus Myofascial Release One of the biggest challenges of my job involves explaining to people what I do. I have a massage license and a physical therapy license. Most people know what a massage therapist and a physical therapist do. However, when I say I perform myofascial release, most people look at me […]
As an experienced runner and RN, I spend a lot of miles and time on my feet. I have worked with Carrie now for 3 sessions and have had great relief of ongoing hamstring pain that has literally slowed me down for over a year. I tried foam rolling and other massages but nothing beat the relief Carrie was able to help me to achieve through myofascial release.
Most helpful one hour of therapy I’ve had in a long time.
I’ve been so happy with the oils that Matrix Therapy custom created just for me. Two of my biggest issues are with relaxation and focus, and Carrie worked with me to find the right mix of essential oils to help me with both.She created two inhalers for me for energy and focus, which have helped immensely. She also created a butter I can use at night to help me sleep. All have been extremely helpful, and I’m much more focused and relaxed, even though my work stress remains the same. Matrix … Read more
I have benefited from Carrie’s expertise with aromatherapy on several issues and have been very happy with the outcome! Carrie was able to make me a cream to apply to my joints that has greatly improved the discomfort I felt in my feet and ankles when getting out of bed in the morning. Even better – and I find this truly remarkable – I work in the healing arts and have found that the diffuser preparation that Carrie made for me seems to improve my ability to focus on the patient, and improved my… Read more
Myofascial release has been amazing! Carrie is extremely professional, warm and talented. She is very intuitive when working with clients and has a way of listening to the body that is profound! I have been working with Carrie for several months now and have seen lasting positive change with my neck pain. My pain is the result of a car accident in 2007 and I’ve tried everything under the sun. Myofascial release has been life changing.Another very important aspect of this modality is that it t… Read more
Carrie is a natural at what she does. She is a truly talented healer, with the sweetest, most gentle energy. I’ve seen her for multiple services throughout her evolution in the body work field. She has been my massage therapist, and most recently has done a Myofacial Release session with my newborn and I, which was a very memorable and special experience as a new mother. Both my baby and I respond very well to her. The way I feel walking away from one of her sessions is as if she pushed a rese… Read more
Carrie works on pets! Our 18 year old dachshund mix is starting to show her age. Her back is starting to get stiff, and she’s not super trusting of new folks. Carrie was so patient and gentle with our little dog! And after the session, she felt terrific. Thanks Carrie.
Carrie has delivered immediate relief to some of my pain areas, ie. lower back. She also helped me with suggesting self-help measures that are also alleviating some of the health issues.
I like to go to Crossfit/exercise but I was having a lot of pain in my right leg during certain movements. I had seen PTs at my gym “helping” other people and it looked really painful. I had been afraid to try them. So I went to Carrie . . . myofascial release really helped with the pain I was having, improved my ability to work out and was gentle. The sessions are very relaxing and effective. I highly recommend going to see Carrie if you are having any pain.
Please keep in mind that this is NOT a deep tissue massage. This is a specialized massage that promotes flexibility. I have a debilitating degenerative spine condition, which causes my body to seize up to the point where I almost can’t move. This “massage” is more like physical therapy in a way, because for the first time in YEARS, I have full range of motion in my hips and arms after one session. Miraculous! This is going to make me a wellness addict.
