AMANDA RODGERS
Registered Massage Therapist
Amanda Rodgers, RMT, combines stretching, deep tissue and trigger point techniques in all of her treatments. She believes in collaborative care with the client, to restore function and mobility.
Amanda's physical therapy practice is strongly influenced by looking at the body as one whole unit. It means more to her than noticing how one body part aligns or misaligns with the rest. It is mindfully assessing all the many details of your current situation, certain pain points, and designing a treatment plan that meets you where you are. Amanda has a passion for working through goals with clients, whether that is recovering from acute or chronic pain, a sports-related injury, neurological pathologies; or postural imbalances.
Amanda's aim is to help each person achieve their greatest potential for function, health and wellness using body awareness education. Her style of massage combines stretching, deep tissue and trigger point techniques. A variety of assessment tools, stretching, massage techniques and custom treatment plans are used to assist in achieving treatment goals.
