Orthopaedic
Massage Therapeutic Bodywork Kinesthetic Educators–Minneapolis
OMTBKE clients get
results
DATA ON THE benefits of massage point clearly to its value as a legitimate part of
the holistic approach that comprises medical care today. “Whether the touch is gentle
or deep, or whether the work focuses on a specific part of the client’s anatomy or
energy, massage and bodywork can play a major role in a person’s well being,” said
Juli Anderson of Orthopaedic Massage Therapeutic Bodywork Kinesthetic Educators (OMTBKE)
in Uptown, Minneapolis.
One of the key components to getting clients on the road to improved health
is making an accurate assessment of their condition. Therapists at OMTBKE use the
A.R.T. model to evaluate each client’s asymmetry, range of motion, and tissue texture
abnormalities to determine which treatments will be most beneficial.
OMTBKE therapists use the manipulation of soft tissue structures to prevent
and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress. Clients who regularly receive
treatments also notice improvement in the function of their muscular, skeletal, circulatory,
lymphatic, and nervous systems.
Maintaining a healthy body through regular massage and bodywork provides an
increased rate at which clients recover from injury and illness. “In addition, our
clients often experience heightened awareness and greater personal understanding
of their body’s form and function,” Anderson added. “People come to us because we
get results.”
The skilled and experienced therapists at OMTBKE draw from a broad and eclectic
range of styles, techniques, and modalities. They work individually with each client
to customize sessions to meet their therapeutic goals. The techniques utilized include
orthopaedic assessments, trigger point therapy, cross-fiber frictioning, deep tissue
techniques, myofascial release, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.
Range of healing techniques
OMTBKE therapists may also use combinations of healing/energy modalities.
Combining several techniques can speed healing, decrease pain and stress, and increase
vitality. These modalities may include craniosacral therapy, reiki, therapeutic touch,
somato-emotional release, visualization, and feldenkrais/HANNA.
The OMTBKE clinic is conveniently located in Uptown Minneapolis. The staff
provides a professional, respectful and courteous atmosphere which supports the body’s
natural ability to heal. “The areas that really set us apart are our holistic approach
to healing and the wide network of resources and referrals,” Anderson said.
“Taking the holistic approach to healing involves the consideration of a wide range
of factors that may be effecting the client’s health,” Anderson explained. “OMTBKE
draws upon the expertise of numerous practitioners in various fields to ensure that
the client receives the treatment necessary to maintain or regain optimum health.”
OMTBKE staff are insured and accredited professional massage therapists who
maintain the highest standards of excellence and quality in therapeutic massage and
kinesthetic education. All practitioners maintain enrollment in various professional
associations.
