Professional Body Work and Speciality Massage

The massage therapists work in cooperation with Dr. Ruggiero and Dr. Anderson to assist patients back to wellness.  We believe that by massaging the body, utilizing a variety of techniques and pressures, there is tremendous benefit to this goal!

Ron and April Carroll (husband and wife) are both licensed massage therapists, professional Reflexologists and highly skilled Reiki Masters. They both have a great deal of experience and are trained in many other techniques and styles. These styles are used in conjunction as an integrative approach with chiropractic and as individual stand alone therapies.

Ron has a background in Martial Arts, which enables him to bring many Asian therapies, such as Thai Yoga Massage, Shiatsu, and Acupressure to the clinic.  April was a Massage/Reflexology Instructor for several years enabling her to bring a great deal of knowledge and variety of techniques and styles to the clinic.  We approach the body first from an “energy” system and utilize Traditional Chinese Medicine and Reiki using Acupressure and energy work techniques to open energy to congested areas where there is pain and/or injury. This assists the body/mind/spirit to open areas to a more specific muscle work.

We utilize many deeper muscle techniques to aid muscles, tendons, and ligaments to restore themselves to a pain free, more flexible nature.  We believe all massage work is valuable. Lighter techniques, such as Cranio-Sacral, Lymphatic and Swedish, and Raindrop and Aromatherapy Massage enable the body to increase blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to the cells and tissue and allow the body a deep sense of release from stress in which it can heal from many imbalances. These also help the body in removing wastes and toxins there by increasing the body’s immune system to fight disease and infection.

A “feel good” massage is to help you feel good in many ways!  Side-Lying Massage is great during pregnancy or times when you are unable to lie on your back or belly.  Reflexology is extremely effective in managing stress and for targeting specific systems of the body to restore balance and health. We utilize Foot, Hand, Ear, and Facial reflexology in a massage and as stand alone treatments especially in pain and stress relief and control. All of our treatments are based on a pain scale in order to put you in charge of the amount of pressure at any time.  We know that pain has no value in a massage and everything can be handled in an easier, gentler manner and that a pain over a 6 or 7 on a pain scale of 1-10 is a signal that damage can occur and is not helpful to our goals to assist you in recovery.

All our therapies offer your level of comfort as far as clothing goes. You dress down to your own comfort level. We also offer fully clothed therapies such as reflexology, Thai Yoga, and Shiatsu, where Ron works with a client in loose comfortable clothing and lays on a floor mat and takes you through a series of compression and gentle stretching movements that releases body and mind! We utilize Aromatherapy to assist us in aiding the body.

Finally we believe that health and recovery should feel great and bring joy to your body and mind! We treat each person as an individual and we would like you to feel free to ask about the type of treatment that would be best for you and discuss all the issues you are dealing with to help you enjoy your life to the fullest.  We look forward to meeting you and hope we can be of assistance to you and your family!  Please check out our workshops designed to help you treat yourself and your loved ones and find out more about our unique therapies.
