She is also certified in Neuromuscular Therapy, Traditional Chinese Massage Therapy, Clinical Massage Therapy and is a certified Infant Massage Instructor. She is currently clinical massage therapist at an area clinic where she provides therapy through physican referral and also maintains a private practice in offices located on the North Shore of Lake Superior. I begin each therapy session by determining the client's requirements and expectations and then matching those to my skills. As the session proceeds I am attentive to the client's responses to techniques and respond by modifying technique and pressure as necessary. I do not ever use a memorized massage routine.
Every session is different because every client is different.
During most sessions a blend of several therapies is used. The particular combination and adaptation depend on factors that are unique to each client. Training in both China and the United States has resulted in my therapy being a blend of both cultures. Since Carol often provides therapy to people with special accessibility needs, her office and equipment are specifically arranged and designed to accommodate these needs. For example, therapy equipment is designed to make transfers as smooth as possible from a wheelchair to a table and back.
