What is the nature of the Lisa’s specialties?

Shiatsu and myofascial release differ from the majority of massage modalities in that their focus on the muscle system is secondary to their focus on the connective tissue and nerve systems respectively. Benefits to the muscles are gained because problems in these systems can also have a great impact on optimal muscle function.

Because the connective tissue houses the nerve system, shiatsu work and myofascial release are very synergistic modalities. Lisa uses an efficient approach to myofascial condition assessment using shiatsu treatment as an assessment tool, by working along the meridian paths of Traditional Chinese Medicine to assess muscle and connective tissue dysfunction. Issues are then targeted with myofascial release techniques and deep tissue muscle work.
