Special note to folks in pain
Phone and e-mail consultations are not available at this time, but Amber is taking new clients at her office in Louisville, Kentucky.
Please note that we do not have the resources to refer you to a therapist in your area. Therapists can be found through several websites including the following:
NeuroMuscular Therapy Training
St. John NeuroMuscular Therapy Seminars
Precision NMT
National Association Of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists
International MYOPAIN Society
Orthopedic Massage Education and Research Institute
Also call local massage schools for referrals to skilled massage and neuromuscular therapists in your area. Most therapists have been trained in the “press and hold” method of trigger point therapy. That's okay; just communicate about the level of pressure you need. More pain is not necessarily better therapy! A quality therapist will always welcome your participation in your own healing.
