got knots? Massage Therapy

Felicia Gaines Sachs

I am Felicia Gaines Sachs, a massage therapist whose primary concern is caring for the health and wellbeing of my clients by providing individualized solutions using one of humanity’s oldest forms of therapy. Massage not only heals both physiological and emotional symptoms, but also helps prevent a wide variety of ailments. Being a member of the yourwellnessnj.com network gives me the opportunity to share ideas that benefit you with providers whose services complement mine. I hope that you will get to know us all.

My desire to help others dates back to when I was very young. My awareness of how powerful touch could be coincided with that desire. I would accompany my mom as she volunteered, providing support during physical therapy sessions for children with disabilities. I can remember wanting to help too. The peace that came over my elderly grandma who had depression while we sat holding hands was clear to me. It was only after I was in the midst of a successful career as a public relations professional, that I realized I could actually fulfill my childhood desire through a career in massage therapy. I was lucky enough to be able to pursue that career and leave the corporate meetings behind.
In the United States, back pain has become the leading public ailment. For many people, back pain considerably impairs their ability to perform and enjoy the things they do on a daily basis. Massage has proven to be an effective means of preventing back and joint pain. My selection of massage options will help you live a more relaxed and pain free life.

In addition to back pain, I see many rotator cuff issues. Limited range of motion can affect you from how you reach for your coffee cup to how you perform when playing a sport you love, like tennis or golf. Your everyday activities can be influenced by shoulder pain.

If you are an athlete; a yogi or a cyclist, runner or swimmer, massage can not only relieve pain and stiffness associated with injury but can also improve performance by maintaining the health of your muscle tissue.
Massage is also a powerful tool for dealing with stress and emotional events. A nurturing massage promotes feelings of physical, mental and emotional well being and can alleviate depression and anxiety. The emotional balance that massage therapy provides can be just as vital and valuable as the physical benefits.

I also offer pre and post natal massage as well as instruction for infant massage (which can relieve colic and improve their sleep cycle). It is so important to be comfortable during this exciting time in your life and to feel confident about providing comfort for your baby.

And then of course there is massage for the purpose of relaxation – an escape from the daily grind, a one-hour vacation for the body and soul.

From healing for an injury to a luxurious treat, I offer a massage for you at Healing Through Bodywork LLC located inside Lawless Chiropractic & Wellness Center, 654 River Road in Fair Haven.

Massage is for everyone! You just have to take that first step and call or come in to schedule an appointment today.
