About Helen
My Approach
At Helen's Healing Hands, I take a people-focused approach to massage therapy. I believe that no one should live their life in pain. I specialize in medical massage and rehabilitation, but any problem you have is worth solving. I have helped hundreds of locals get back to feeling like themselves again. From the cricks in your neck to sciatica to plantar fasciitis, I've seen (and fixed) a lot. However, if you bring me something new- great! I'll try my best to help using everything I've learned. We may even learn something new that could help others down the road.
What to Expect
When you come in for an appointment (medical or not) we will talk about what is bothering you, and start there. Your first appointment will focus on your main problem areas and allow me to asses what else may need work in the future. So if your main issues are say, neck and low back, I will focus a majority of my time on correcting those areas. (other areas of non-issue may not get worked at all.) Basically, if it ain't broke don't fix it! Your appointments will continue like this until there are no more outstanding problems, and then we would switch to a preventative maintenance schedule.
Before and After
Self care at home is just as important to your overall health. Before your appointment please try to hydrate well. Dehydrated muscles are much harder to work with, and you may not see as good results because of it. (and end up more sore!) I always give personal recommendations at the end of your massage, which will vary by person. The one constant however, is hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Hydrated muscles are happy muscles!
