Dunn specializes in sports massage, geared toward active people and athletes who need relief from sore muscles and tightness after exercise or competition. Deep pressure massage helps speed their recovery. Dunn has seen a great increase in employment of massage therapists who travel with athletic teams. She personally helped set up a massage program for the Olympic athletes at the Atlanta games - more than 200 therapists provided massage to the participants. The pulls of gravity, age and life itself weigh on the spine, says Dunn, increasing stress and throwing the body out of balance.
Massage helps reduce stress and restore that balance.
