WHAT IS THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE & BODYWORK?

An essential component of a modern, comprehensive medical treatment plan, therapeutic massage and bodywork offers life-changing pain relief and healing for those recovering from breast cancer, mastectomy, liposuction, joint replacement, surgery, and other painful musculoskeletal injuries, diseases and conditions. Through therapeutic massage and bodywork, we can work to relieve your pain, improve your range of motion and help you overcome the physical and mental obstacles to feeling like yourself again.

The Spurgeon Method®

Originally created by Sally Spurgeon and Jennifer Shulte-Denman to help women following mastectomy surgeries, The Spurgeon Method® became popular after The Chopra Center began offering it at their world-renowned location in Carlsbad, CA. It has proven invaluable not only in helping recovery from breast cancer surgeries but also in promoting and maintaining healthy breast tissue and helping women to become aware of changes in their breasts as they age. It is beneficial for a wide range of breast concerns, including lactation issues.

A pilot study of The Spurgeon Method® conducted in May 2022 on Post-Mastectomy patients by Cindy Veasey, an Occupational Therapist from A T Still University, AZ Dept. of Health Sciences, found statistically significant improvement on all subjects who received the treatment.

The findings are to be presented at the AOTA conference in April of 2023.
