Ailments Treated:

Back Pain - "Low/mid/upper back pain: Specific protocols to strengthen, soften, balance and decrease pain and increase efficacy."

Headaches / Migraines - "See "Neck Pain" with additional work sometimes including jaw (masseter) and temporalis work."

Tendonitis - ""itis" means imflamation. I find, in my work, many times it is not inflamation but bone on bone irritation caused by tightening of muscles on one side or the other. I soften tight muscles for balance."

Background

I have been practicing PUSH Therapy exclusively for over seven years. I am inspired by the results I achieve with clients. The more complex the symptoms, the more interesting and challenging I find the work; it draws me to my highest level of focus, skill and knowledge. I continue to grow and learn by being a part of PUSH Trainings. I am the most senior Training Assistant in Chicago. My opportunity to work and participate in the trainings with Michael Takatsuno , the founder of PUSH, has been essential to my continual growth and understanding of this amazing body of work. I continue advanced anatomy study to continually grow in my understanding of the body and how it functions and increase the efficacy of my work. I am still humbled at the changes I am able to make for people with my study, knowledge and delivery of PUSH Therapy.

 

What is PUSH?

PUSH is a specialized muscle therapy developed to eliminate pain and tension in soft tissue to eliminate tightness, pain and limited range of motion using a targeted technique called Soft Pressure Stimulation.

• Powerful and immediately effective, clients feel and see immediate changes right on the table.
• Clients learn Self-treatments Techniques, PUSH Core Strengthening and PUSH Mobility Training to support the results they desire.  The shared goal of PUSH Therapy is chronic pain elimination..getting to the cause NOT just treating the symptoms.
