Michelle Williams

Education:

• Capp’s College, Mobile, Alabama, 1020 hour program, graduated 03/05

Specialties or Training:

• Swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy, Thai massage, Myoskeletal Alignment Technique, and orthopedic massage.

Favorite Modalities: I love working with the orthopedic and Myoskeletal Alignment techniques. These techniques are, in my professional opinion, the best options available for long-term pain mitigation, postural balancing, and neuromuscular health.

Philosophy on Healing: The body is its own best healer. I merely offer it suggestions when it is having difficulty finding the way.

Exceptional Results: One client came to me with rotator cuff issues. He was preparing for surgery, and decided to try massage therapy as a last resort. After one session, his pain was reduced enough that he decided to hold off on the surgery. After eight biweekly sessions, he postponed the surgery indefinitely and was able to maintain his shoulder health with monthly massage.

Another client came to me with an achy spot under his shoulder blade that had been agitating him for almost two years. At the end of the session he said he felt little difference in the spot. I told him to give it some time, that he would probably feel some difference over next several days, and it would likely take multiple sessions to fully address an issue that had been ongoing for such a length of time. I saw him a week later. He told me that several hours after our session he reached out to grab something, heard a loud pop in his shoulder, and the pain was instantly and dramatically reduced. With ongoing sessions the pain completely resolved.
