A Physical Therapist in Oak Park Who Refers and Accepts Referrals From Massage Therapy of Oak Park

“I am firm believer in soft tissue and hands-on therapy. I do some kinds of hands-on or soft tissue work with most of my clients, but I have a limited amount of time. If they can get even more as part of massage therapy, this can have major therapeutic benefits. In fact, anyone who is in physical therapy can benefit from therapeutic massage.”

“When clients come to see me after being at Massage Therapy of Oak Park, they are more prepared for therapeutic exercises. Massage and physical therapy complement one another. If I have 30 minutes to work with a patient and he or she comes to me after receiving therapeutic massage, my treatment is more effective.”

“[Massage Therapy of Oak Park] can focus on an area that I can’t or don’t have the time or knowledge to address. In particular, with his advanced training, Rick has the ability to identify the tissues that need to be released. He has the techniques to get into specific muscle groups, such as the subscapularis.”

An Art Therapist in Oak Park Who Refers and Accepts Referrals From Massage Therapy of Oak Park

“Rick’s grasp of the nature of intention and witness consciousness allows him to simply facilitate and support the inherent drive of the mind/body system to right itself. In particular, his work with cranio-sacral and myofascial release, as well as the techniques of Upledger have given me a profound respect for the parallel path that both art therapy and massage therapy are traveling. These deep methods unlock the body’s own wisdom in the same way as image making does.”
