Training:
Although Mary is trained in dozens of techniques, Medical Massage, a purely science-based approach as taught by Dr Ross Turchaninov, is the most effective in alleviating pain and dysfunction. It's foundation is a strategic analysis and application advanced techniques, including: Lymph Drainage, Cutaneous Reflex Zone, Segment-Reflex, Connective Tissue/Myofascial Release, Advanced Neuromuscular/Trigger Point, Cyriax's Procedure, Periosteal massage, & Post Isometric Relaxation.
Neural Reset Therapy is another intriguing approach Mary incorporates that uses scientific principles to get restricted muscles to reset neurologically through very specific gentle movements. This technique is a wonderful addition to any treatment and is particularly helpful when direct treatments are not possible since opposing muscles or even muscles on the other side of the body can be used instead.
In addition, Mary is trained in the use of Dolphin microcurrent devices for pain, scar treatment, and wellness. Traditional TENS units blast the nervous system with stronger currents to disrupt pain signals but have little therapeutic effect. In contrast, microcurrent (in amounts similar to static electricity or the body's own signals) have been shown to improve cellular function and reduce inflammation.
Mary is also certified as a Coach, Yoga Teacher (RYT200), Qigong Instructor, and Healing Foods Educator.
