The Massage Experience

Body in Motion Massage offers a sophisticated, multi-modality approach to healing that bridges the gap between relaxation and rehabilitation. Susan specializes in an integrated treatment style that combines the structural focus of Orthopedic and Medical Massage with the subtle, restorative power of Craniosacral Therapy. By assessing the unique needs of the locomotor soft tissue and the rhythmic flow of the central nervous system, Susan crafts a bespoke session for every client. Whether you are recovering from a motor vehicle accident, managing a sports injury, or seeking to restore structural balance, our treatments are designed to reduce pain, release deep-seated restrictions, and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal.

Massage Types Defined

Orthopedic Massage
This is a clinical approach to bodywork designed to fix specific physical issues rather than just provide general relaxation. It begins with a functional assessment to identify which muscles, tendons, or ligaments are causing your pain or limiting your movement. By using precise manual techniques to treat these “locomotor” tissues, Susan works to pull the body back into its natural alignment. This structural balance not only helps you recover from current injuries (rehabilitation) but also “tunes” your body to prevent future wear and tear (prevention).

Medical Massage
This intensified massage is a results-driven therapy focused on helping the body recover from specific physical trauma. Unlike a standard massage, this is an outcome-based treatment tailored to resolve issues like muscle strains, sports injuries, or whiplash from motor vehicle accidents. By addressing the physiological effects of stress and injury, Medical Massage reduces pain and fatigue, helping you regain your strength and return to your daily activities faster.

Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that focuses on the health of your central nervous system. While Orthopedic and Medical massages focus on the muscles and bones, CST focuses on the “rhythmic flow” of the fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord. By releasing these deep internal restrictions, CST helps soothe the nervous system, reduces the physical effects of stress, and boosts your body’s natural immune response. It is a powerful tool for those dealing with chronic migraines, neck pain, or long-term fatigue where traditional deep-pressure massage might be too intense.
