Manual Therapy
I cannot tell you how often people ask me "what kind of massages do your massage therapists do - shiatsu, deep tissue etc.". It's not a bad question, but it is like asking an artist "what kind of brush strokes do you use?" The answer is "whatever is necessary" - but let me put it to you this way: All of the PTPT massage therapists are gifted practitioners with the ability to know what kind of massage you may need on top of being highly educated in their field. One person might need what I call "one layer off" - to take of a layer of tension and tightness that is stopping them from feeling loose and focused. Another one of you may need specific trigger point therapy for your neck and lower back. The communication between massage therapists and physical therapists at PTPT gives the client one step up in receiving the best massage they have had in years.
For patients who have been evaluated by the physical therapist, massages might focus primarily on the muscles that have been overworked (e.g. upper traps or low back muscles) to speed up the "stretching phase" of their therapy.
For clients who just want a really good massage, feel confident that you will receive the highest quality of professional care here at PTPT. Please don't hesitate to share with our therapists what works or doesn't work for you. At PTPT, we work TOGETHER to get the results you are looking for.
We make sure to first define your areas of concern, taking into consideration your age, gender, history and sensitivity levels. Our expert therapists use a variety of techniques that easily and efficiently unravel years of stress and tension. With a full menu of therapies, including shiatsu, deep tissue, trigger point work and more, we can treat a systemic issue or a specific joint in question. Our therapists will restore your movement and overall well being.

Meet Jennifer
Jennifer intuitively began her massage career as a child, massaging family members in need of relief. After listening to her passion she attended and graduated from California Healing Arts College with a degree in Massage Therapy in 2001 while attending Wheaton College and earninga degree in Spanish studies.. Gravitating towards her healing degree, she took courses in myoskeletal alignment with Eric Dalton - combining and explores a variety of modalities such as deep tissue, shiatsu, lymphatic and craniosacral massage to customize the perfect massage.
Craniosacral gently works with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragm, and fascia, easing the restrictions of nerve passages, allowing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord to be optimized, and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position. Craniosacral therapy helps to treat mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ Syndrome, and for chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.
Jennifer is also training to use aromatherapy with her massages to help relieve pain, stress, anxiety, and many other symptoms.

Meet Marcia
While working in the field of nursing I found myself in need of a career change with more flexibility and purpose. On my search to find this new field I investigated several ultrasound tech, x-ray tech, and Massage therapy. I always say "Massage chose me, I didn't choose it." I love that fact because I am compelled by passion. I have been in massage therapy for seven years, and I still go to work everyday like it’s something new. I try to stay open to all the different experiences the field offers especially working with Vivian at Prevent the Pain. Working in physical therapy has been the most rewarding. I feel my work really make a difference. It fills my heart with joy when I hear a patient say they feel better than they did before they came to PTPT. When I work my magic it’s the only thing you want to hear.
I am a married mother of four children who feels this life experience helps me to relate to a broad array of people young and old. I love reading books in my free time and listening to CDs while driving. Raised on the Westside I have been enveloped in different cultures. I believe laughter is the cure. So expect a good joke when you come to see me.

Meet Jason Adams
Jason Adams, MM/RYT/LMT - master of music, registered yoga teacher, licensed massage therapist.
When pro musicians overstress their bodies and minds, they turn to therapist Jason Adams to help relieve their injuries. Through education, personal training, & therapeutic massage, Adams helps professional musicians restore their physical and mental performance to optimum levels.
With his diverse training in multiple fields, Jason is quickly becoming well recognized by the music industry. Working with musicians who are under intense physical and mental strain—classical violinists who practice/perform hours a day, pro guitarists with shoulder/spinal injuries, and more acute and localized injuries like TMJ or carpal tunnel problems—Adams is sought-after by those seeking his experience and insight into music-related injuries.
His extensive study in classical and jazz music—saxophone, flute, clarinet, piano, voice, guitar, and percussion—lends Jason a unique insight into the specific stresses that musicians undergo each and every day during their practice, recording, and performance sessions. Jason blends this music background with his training in yoga and massage therapy, bringing a very introspective and intuitive knowledge base to his practice.
Practicing yoga for more than six years, Jason is greatly interested in how yoga and music can affect each other. As a result, Adams completed a series of articles for the Saxophone Journal in 2005. He has since been in demand nationally with hisYoga for Musicians lectures, having appeared at numerous symposiums and conferences. His series discusses some of the beneficial aspects that yoga—specifically Hatha yoga, breathing exercises, & meditation—can provide to a musician. In addition to his lectures, Jason is currently writing a text focusing on incorporating yoga into musical practice and performance.
Jason has focused on Therapy for Musicians, which incorporates his background in massage, yoga, & postural awareness. He incorporates Zrii supplementation to his work as well.
