 Welcome to Healthy Foundations Massage

    ​

   My name is Keith Wilson and I’m a Certified, Licensed Massage Therapist.  Here at my practice, I believe in helping people feel better by providing a therapeutic massage that suits your needs.  Whether  you need some stress relief, have chronic pain or tight, overused muscles, massage therapy can help.  I have over thirteen years of experience providing therapeutic massage.  My experience includes 3 1/2 years working at a Chiropractic office providing massage therapy in conjunction with chiropractic care.  At Healthy Foundations Massage, you will receive the care and attention you deserve, in a relaxed and safe environment.  If you  would prefer your massage to take place in  your home, I can come to your house.   

 

I have been certified as  a Neuromuscular Massage Therapist by the International Academy of Neuromuscular Massage Therapy.

​

I am pleased to announce that I am now offering the John Barnes method of Myofascial Release!  I have completed 60 hours of hands seminars in myofascial release techniques. This slow-release work targets your fascia or connective tissue that wraps around your muscle fibers and encapsulates your joints.

 

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

As taught by John Barnes, PT, this work uses gentle pressure applied over a length of time on a particular body area.  The crucial "time element" is necessary for the desired results. Don't let the term "gentle pressure" deceive you into thinking it's not effective. Fascia is very resistant to deep tissue pressure-. The application of gentle pressure applied over a 5-6 minute period is very important in this work. 

​

SWEDISH MASSAGE

The most common type of massage.  The therapist uses oil or lotion to reduce friction.  Swedish massage utilizes smooth gliding strokes and gentle kneading of muscles to facilitate a feeling of relaxation.

 

DEEP TISSUE

A variation of Swedish massage, Deep Tissue massage works deeper into the muscles and tissue. Chronically tight or injured muscles may develop "knots" or adhesions in the muscle fibers, causing pain and limiting mobility. Deep tissue work seeks to break up these adhesions thereby relieving pain and restoring movement.

 

BASIC SPORTS MASSAGE

While Sports massage is a broadly used term, it refers to the application of different massage strokes combined with movement and stretching, for physically active people.  I prefer to use the term Basic Sports Massage which involves deeper work combined with some stretching and movement.  Even if you are not an active person, you can enjoy the benefits of this therapeutic massage when integrated into a full body massage session.

 

NEUROMUSCULAR MASSAGE

**Certified Neuromuscular Massage Therapist**

Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT) uses a type of deep tissue, direct digital pressure to release areas of tension in muscles.  The work is very slow and specific with the intention being to release these tense or strained areas in soft tissue that cause muscle spasms and pain.
