Our massage therapists have a minimum of five years of work experience. Each therapist is individually screened and tested to ensure a high level of competency.

We work with massage therapists that love what they do and have a high level of skill. We place value on those massage therapists that, beyond the Swedish and Deep Tissue massage taught in massage school, continue to acquire additional training or Certifications in the following:

• Craniosacral Therapy
• Myofascial Release
• Trigger Point therapy
• Sports Therapy
• Medical Massage
• Orthopedics
• Pre / Post Natal

** Very important ** We teach all our therapists to be conscious of energy hygiene.

An example of a therapist’s non-energy mindset, is when afterwards the client may be left feeling tired, acquires new pains or spasms, feels nausea, develops a headache, or is experiencing a feeling of being drained. These are outcomes that seldom happen in our office. Our goal is pain relief, spasm release, rejuvenation and relaxation. Without negative side effects.

Our massage therapists have a great bedside manner. Massage Therapy is provided in a professional setting within a Chiropractic Office.

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is a very popular form of massage therapy. It is soothing, pleasant to the body and is the least resistant massage to receive. It usually involves the whole body, including the neck, back, torso, legs, arms, and head.

Massaging the head promotes fluid flow throughout the body and can often alleviate headaches and TMJ (temporal mandibular joint) dysfunction / pain.

A Swedish massage involves stroking and rubbing the body with gentle techniques often with oils to allow for a comfortable friction-smooth massage.

It is good for relieving stress and anxiety and can help promote activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. That rest and relaxation feeling we often feel after a good night’s sleep.

This style gets its name from a 19th-century Swedish physiologist, Per Henrik Ling, whose system of medical gymnastics included massage. Johan Georg Mezger (1838-1909) coined a reduced set of techniques of Dr. Ling’s system as the “Swedish massage” system.

The Swedish massage is known for four major therapeutic techniques called Efflurage, Petrissage, Tapotement and Vibration.

Efflurage is a Swedish massage long stroking – gliding technique that usually captures the whole length of the muscle from origin to insertion points on the correlating bone.

Petrissage is where the therapist kneads the body. Thumbs, knuckles, or elbows are often used to apply pressure on to the muscle fibers. Skin rolling, squeeze and wringing are all part of the petrissage technique. With petrissage the overall direction is from proximal to distal, as opposed to effleurage, in which the direction of the overall technique is from distal to proximal length of the muscle being worked on.

Tapotement is a rhythmic percussion on to the muscles with cupped hands or the edge of the hands in a rapid alternating hitting of muscles.

Vibration in Swedish massage technique often achieved with a hand-held tool such as a percussor or topical vibrator. Usually, the intensity of the shaking can be adjusted as needed on such machines which offer a very good therapeutic value.

An important consideration with a Swedish massage is the correct hands-on placement during the session to not incorrectly use strokes with a client / patient as to cause a build-up in the sinuses. Often the person lying down on the table can get stuffed in the nose and cannot breath, which is the result of incorrect application and direction of strokes.  If this happens to you during your Swedish massage you need to find a different therapist to work with. All our therapists are well aware of this potential unpleasant side-effect.

Alex was born in March 1972. At the age of 7 he started to experience frequent headaches with all the conventional symptoms of a Migraine headache. His particular headache resulted in him experiencing auras, nausea and sensitivity to light with no particular trigger to the onset of the migraine.

After years of treatments, therapies and medications, his headaches were no better and Alex continued to experience them all throughout childhood and into young adulthood. Some years the headaches would come monthly, some years every two to three months and some years weekly. His headaches were incurable, there was nothing that could alleviate the symptoms and head pain. Until he experienced cranial manual therapy, which resulted in the complete eradication of his life-long Migraine Headaches.

At the age of 16 Alex noticed a mild deformity in the right side of his ribs, a slightly lower right shoulder and the experience of constant lower back pain. Although mild, a diagnosis of Idiopathic Adolescent Scoliosis had been labeled.

At the age of 18 he was involved in a serious car accident that exacerbated his lower back pain. Throughout the years Alex had tried a multitude of conventional treatments but continued to suffer on and off with lower back pain, even throughout Chiropractic school and beyond.

In 2015 and fifteen+ years out of Chiropractic school, Dr. Kaminsky participated in his first and life changing Craniosacral Therapy seminar and he was fascinated, intrigued and hooked. It all made sense, he was immediately astute to its methods and since that first seminar, and as a result of trading sessions of Craniosacral Therapy with his colleagues, his back pain subsided and till this day has never returned.

Dr. Kaminsky decided to enhance his skill-set to better serve his patients. He began reaching out to other craniosacral therapists, cranial osteopaths, and many types of leading practitioners from various fields for advise and consultations He also enrolled in Upledger continuing education seminars with a focus on mostly hands-on manual and alternative therapies.

And, as he gained knowledge with his own health issues, he has learned to help more and more patients achieve great health results.

Dr. Alex Kaminsky is headache free and low back pain free, and has committed himself to a life of learning, teaching and treating patients. His emphasis is on the patient’s stored patterns of the body and each individual healthcare needs.
