THE THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES AND SERVICES THAT ARE ALL INCLUDED AND CAN BE MODIFIED IN EACH TREATMENT

Every session at BODYBRAILLE begins with you—your wants, needs and what will allow you to have the best experience and work toward improving your mood, energy, pain, posture, performance and recovery.

Before we begin your massage we evaluate your goals, areas of concern and comfort to develop the treatment plan that best meets your needs. Most sessions combine several therapeutic techniques into a single treatment.

The following are some of the therapeutic services your therapist may use during your visit. Together, they create a dynamic experience designed specifically for you and are all inclusive.

What Is BodyBraille?

Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial release massage therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that uses sustained pressure and slow stretching to release tension in the fascia (connective tissues). It helps reduce chronic pain, improve blood circulation, restore mobility, correct postural imbalances, and increase range of motion by relieving tightness and restrictions in soft tissues.

Anchored Compression Stretching

Improve your posture and balance your muscles with anchored compression stretching. We use special techniques to stretch your tissues in the correct order to achieve maximum injury prevention and flexibility.

The BodyBraille Difference

Experience the body and mind in perfect harmony. Our patent-pending, vibrating, infrared therapy table enhances cognitive function and aids in electromagnetic field detoxification. 

PEMF A.K.A Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy

PEMF A.K.A Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate the body's cells and tissues. These pulses can help support circulation, promote recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve overall cellular function.

Deep Tissue massage

Targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to relieve chronic tension, improve mobility, and address areas affected by repetitive strain or long-standing muscular tightness. Pressure is always adjusted to your comfort level.

Swedish Techniques

Gentle, flowing techniques that promote relaxation, improve circulation, and calm the nervous system. Often combined with deeper therapeutic work to create a treatment that is both effective and deeply relaxing.

Trigger point release techniques

Trigger point release techniques focuses on relieving tension in specific tight knots within muscles, known as trigger points. These points can cause pain locally or refer pain to other parts of the body. The therapist applies steady pressure using fingers, knuckles, elbows, or tools to release the muscle constriction. This promotes blood flow, reduces discomfort, and helps restore normal movement and flexibility.

Prehab, Rehab and Performance Enhancement

Once the body is qualified, learn proper self care and exercise techniques to further progress and minimize risk of future injuries.

Infrared light therapy

Infrared light therapy uses deep-penetrating light to promote healing, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve muscle and joint pain. Delivered through the treatment table during massage, it helps ease stiffness, support tissue repair, reduce muscle tension, and encourage relaxation, making it beneficial for recovery, pain management, and overall skin health.

Sports Massage

Despite its name, Sports Massage isn't just for athletes. It is designed for anyone whose muscles are stressed by exercise, repetitive movement, or an active lifestyle. Your therapist may combine stretching, mobility work, and targeted muscle techniques to support recovery, improve performance, and reduce the risk of injury.

Therapeutic Facial Massage

Focuses on the muscles of the face, jaw, scalp, and neck to relieve muscular tension, encourage circulation, and promote relaxation. Particularly beneficial for jaw tightness, headaches, facial tension, and stress that builds throughout the day.

Muscle Energy Technique

Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a type of manual therapy used to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tightness, and relieve pain. In MET massage, the therapist guides the client to actively contract specific muscles against gentle resistance, then relaxes them while the therapist stretches the muscle to a new range. This cycle of contraction and relaxation helps reset muscle length, improve circulation, and release tension without aggressive force.

Intentional Alpha Brainwave Breathing Techniques

Intentional Alpha brainwave breathing techniques aim to guide the mind and body into a relaxed yet present state often associated with Alpha waves (8–12 Hz). The core practices include:

Breathing Techniques:

• Slow rhythmic breathing: Inhale for 4–6 seconds, hold briefly, exhale for 6–8 seconds.

• Focused awareness: Maintain attention on the breath, relaxing muscles on each exhale.

• Visualization: Imagine calm waves or light to deepen relaxation and encourage Alpha activity.

Massage Elements:

• Gentle, rhythmic strokes: Slow, flowing movements across the back, neck, and shoulders that sync with the person's breathing.

• Pressure points: Light pressure on temples, scalp, and the base of the skull to stimulate relaxation.

• Integration: Coordination of touch with breath cycles to reinforce the brain's shift toward Alpha patterns.

Together, these techniques are used to promote deep relaxation, stress relief, pain relief, improved posture, performance, heightened creativity and emotional wellness.

What to expect in your first appointment, helpful tips and a list of common issues we can dynamically improve.

Your first session will include a medical history review, soft tissue evaluation, posture analysis with optional before and after treatment pictures, emotionally related concerns, and a brief presentation on how the BodyBraille methods work and we do EVERYTHING DIFFERENT.

For example: most people in need of relief from pains, stiffness, trauma, emotional conditions, and suboptimal posture should NOT be facedown during a massage. Until the body is assessed and qualified to be placed face down.

Not doing so can often cause the posture and discomfort to worsen in the long run.
Helpful Hint: gravity and tension from the front of the body greatly contributes to the strains and pains In the back side of the body.

After we asses your concerns, goals and issues found in your tissues-that are often related to unresolved issues from the past and internal conflict, you will learn how to breathe during your massage. So you can optimize your mind and body's ability to relax and release All forms of stress and tension when being worked on.

Once you have been properly prepared we will begin your BodyBraille Massage while you are relaxing on the PEMF infrared heated treatment table.

Helpful Tips:

Please drink 1/2 of your body's weight in ounces of quality water each day.

We need your tissues HYDRATED so we can maximize your evaluations, breathing, results and overall experience.

Proper hydration, nutrition, healthy thought patterns, breathing and quality movements are the bricks in the foundation of all fitness, wellness,health and healing; and it is easiest to breathe as needed, relax and be worked on when you are hydrated and face up on the treatment table.

When patients show up hydrated and follow my simple breathing techniques it allows us to do what we need to do to improve your posture, mobility, emotions, energy, compensation patterns, aches, strains and pains.

Addressing these issues will allow us to optimize your mind and body's ability to perform pain free, and have a much faster recovery rate from all forms of exercise and stress.

REVIEWS

I am a Physical Therapist and had been experiencing chronic neck and back pain for years; had been to every health care provider imaginable and was still suffering terribly. After my first visit with Erik I was 75% improved and after the 3rd visit I was 90% pain free. I go back for tweaking as needed. I learn something new at every visit as Erik has a wealth of knowledge. He is a wonderful practitioner with a great spirit! I could not recommend him more highly!

- Julie Shalen Metz

This experience really goes well beyond a massage. I wouldn't even call it that. This is truly healing your body. Regular massages don't have long termed benefits. This does. Wow. Unbelievable.

- Daniel Heuer

I can't say enough about Erik and his genuine desire to facilitate healing. I received a trigger point massage which was amazing!! I had been going on 3 hours of sleep 4 days in a row....my stress level was through the roof due to personal and professional issues, and Erik was able to completely assist me in de-escalating my negative state. I walked out of his office feeling rejuvenated and refreshed and more aligned with life and feeling good again. I've slept better the last two nights since I was treated by Erik and feel much more relaxed and in tune with my body and mind. Tremendous thanks and appreciation, Erik!!

Grant has been such a blessing in my life! Like so many other people have said, have gone to countless other providers in search of relief for chronic hip and back pain.

None of them were able to figure out how to properly treat me, leaving me frustrated and hopeless for ever finding relief. Grant has changed all of that! Not only was he able to alleviate pain and discomfort in my body, he also helped mentally shift the way I relate to the sensations in my body.

I work as a mental health counselor, and treat trauma survivors. Having that background, I knew my body was likely storing trauma and I was curious how it all may manifest on his table. Grant was able to recognize trauma emerging somatically, and not only help release stored physical pain, but also hold space and have empathy for emotional aspects as well. He was sensitive to issues that emerged and maintained professionalism throughout. He truly seems to care.

Grant is a wonderful human and a gifted healer!

- Delise Morris

I'm an almost 65 year old woman who had knee surgery followed by a painful IT band issue. I was in pain for 7 or 8 months, having trouble walking and exercising and taking pain meds every day - and this was after physical therapy. Nothing seemed to work and I was losing hope, thinking I'd have to live with the pain for the rest of my life. Then someone mentioned myofascial release to me and I found Grant, who has a deep understanding of physiology and has honed his craft to an extent that allows him to help in ways most doctors don't really think or talk about. He uses a number of modalities and explains everything thoroughly. Plus, he showed me how to walk differently and has given me exercises and stretches that have been perfect for my age and where I am physically, which didn't really happen with physical therapy. After the first couple of sessions, my pain was reduced, my breathing and energy levels were higher and I had hope. Now I'm walking so much better and close to exercising like I want to. Grant is empathetic and really cares. I am so grateful.

- Valerie Gelbaun

Grant is a true expert in his craft! I have suffered with neck and shoulder pain for years. I've tried massage, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and so much more offering only temporary relief if any at all. Grant treats your pain and muscle tension holistically, taking the entire body into consideration when determining your path the healing and developing your healing plan. I highly recommend Grant to anyone who wants to put an end to their pain once and for all. I'm so glad I found him.

- Tina Dumas

"This process is incredible. My posture and mobility as a runner has significantly improved. Because I'm an analytical person and a scientist, I appreciate the level of detail on the physiology Grant shares throughout the treatment. He's incredibly professional, thoughtful and patient.

Relax, breathe and trust the process."

- Mary Gertz

"Grant is a fantastic provider! I have had chronic low back pain for some time. As a physician, it made it difficult for me to stand for surgeries. He has helped to get rid of my pain in only a few appointments and I have not felt this good in many years. He's an excellent communicator and explains the process well. He is very professional, dedicated and kind. He was so helpful, I sent my son to see him. I highly recommend."

- Lisa P

"This process has greatly improved the health of my body and mind. As a physician, I had just about given up hope that there were any other options out there for me. After exploring numerous different types of physicians and modalities, I finally found relief in working with Grant.

Highly recommend."
