Modalities and Techniques

Trigger Point Therapy

A trigger point is a hyper-irritable, tender spot within a taut band of skeletal muscle that produces localized pain and, often, referred pain to other areas of the body. Known as muscle "knots," these spots can restrict movement and are often caused by acute trauma, repetitive strain, or chronic stress. A trigger point release, often following some time dedicated to myofascial release, is performed by holding sustained pressure to a single point. Trigger points can present as localized discomfort or may radiate to other structures of the body. Trigger point release often feels initially intense, with quick and powerful relief following shortly. Many clients report some amount of immediate improvement following the release of their trigger points.

Remedy Rea, LMT

  Remedy first became interested in massage therapy 10 years ago as a young single mom.

With very little community or family, she began seeking career paths that would meet her tiny family of two's needs for not only survival, but flexibility, nourishment, and a deep sense of purpose.

It took nearly 10 years before Remedy was ready to take steps towards her career as an LMT. She's worked as a preschool teacher, farmer, nanny, front desk manager, barista, birth doula, and as the vintage buyer at Psychic Sister (you can still find her there on Tuesdays).
Through her varied experience, Remedy gained a variety of experiences and skills, all of which cultivated her into the person she is today and shaped her craft as a massage therapist.

 

A deep believer in the healing power of tending and listening to the quietest parts of ourselves, Remedy is an intuitive practitioner and strives to follow the hidden and hushed in tandem with the seen and spoken.

Her joy as an LMT lies in the big, small, and everywhere-in-between moments of trust that truly make her work magical.

In her free time, Remedy is a singer, dancer, reader, and writer. She loves quiet mornings her cat Danny, walks in the woods with her dog Cowboy, and spending time with her daughter, Fern, and fiance, Blue.

Remedy is a lover of the slow and timeless beauty of the earth, old and handcrafted items, tall trees, bright flowers, homecooked meals, gentle gestures, and the small miracles found in the day-to-day.
