This is the AMTA home-page for Ron Reach LMT and Indigo Sun Deep Massage. If you are looking for muscular pain relief at the deepest and most immediate level, you have come to the right place! Welcome!
Many people have tried various types of massage therapy (deep tissue, neuromuscular, Swedish) seeking relief from muscular injuries, fibromyalgia, sports soreness, etc., and have been ultimately disappointed with the results.
Believe me, I know your frustration. As well-intentioned as most types of massage are, most modalities 'miss the mark' when it comes to truly helping you with your muscular problems. For years, I practiced deep tissue and NMT massage, but I was never really satisfied with the results I was getting with my clients. People would come to see me week after week; they would receive relief for a day or two, but then their problems would return, until they came to see me again. I was not satisfied that this was the only way.
In 2005, I began study with John Barnes, an internationally recognized physical therapist who had developed a system of bodywork called Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR). I began incorporating the amazing MFR techniques into my practice, and after taking many seminars in MFR, I switched over to practicing MFR exclusively.
Using gentle-but-deep sustained pressure, MFR releases the structural dysfunction within the connectve tissue (fascia), restoring the nerve pathways to their original state, improving circulation, and opening up the lymphatic system to aid in the body's natural detoxification. With continued MFR therapy, the muscles become unrestricted, fully functional, and the regular aches and pains once experienced begin to disappear.
MFR can also correct postural distortions, which may have been the root of your muscular problems to begin with. On your first visit, we will analyze your posture to make sure your body alignment is where it should be, and we will design your treatment sessions to include corrective techniques to address these issues.
