Jim Thurmond – Transformational Bodywork

Specialties

Transformational Bodywork uses a powerful combination of orthopedic massage, neuromuscular reeducation techniques, and gentle (or as deep as you want it) deep-​tissue massage to relieve pain, release tension, and restore function.

My techniques:

* Improve orthopedic conditions, including low back and neck pain, hip and knee degeneration, and rotator cuff injuries

* Reprogram and restore elasticity and suppleness to chronically tight or injured muscles.

* Correct postural imbalances such as scoliosis or kyphosis, which often cause chronic pain and sports performance problems.

*Break up scar tissue adhesions which are often the cause of pain from old unresolved injuries.

*Reduce tension and stress and restore the body and mind to well-​being so you can lead a more active satisfying life.

«What makes you different?»

*I use an integrated set of techniques that go far beyond temporarily relieving symptoms to restore the body to optimum function.

*When desired, I will instruct you in the most advanced injury rehabilitation and prevention, self-​help techniques you can use to speed recovery and prevent future injuries.

*My techniques provide superb clinical results for people in pain with a therapy that’s profoundly comfortable to receive and can be modified to be done fully or partially clothed.
