Congratulations to Sue Coughtry, BS, LMT Newly Certified in Orthopedic Massage
  
Sue Coughtry, one of our multi-talented Licensed Massage Therapists on staff is newly certified in Orthopedic Massage through The Center For Pain Management,  a national training and research organization created and run by author and teacher James Waslaski, LMT, CFT.  Sue Coughtry is currently the only LMT offering this type of massage in our area. The training consisted of a 100 hour certification program with hands on seminars and case studies with a focus on balancing the muscles around the joints and bringing the muscles back to their normal resting pain free positions.  The technique improves posture and relieves pain from injuries, poor posture, arthritis, and repetitive use issues.  The work is pain-free and very effective.

 

"As a Certified Personal Trainer I am able to teach the client how to effectively prevent problems from returning.  This program has given me many new tools for my toolbox to help clients free themselves from pain." -Sue Coughtry, LMT
