Kate Gerencer LMT Therapeutic Massage, LLC

I truly enjoy helping my clients with their goals of pain relief, stress reduction, relaxation, increased range of motion, proper alignment, etc. by restoring balance to muscles, fascia, and other soft tissue including scar tissue. 

I specialize in acute and chronic pain relief, including for workplace and accident injuries. I like giving focused massages for various areas of pain including the neck, shoulder, upper and lower back, hips, gluteals, legs and arms. And for conditions such as Headaches, TMJ Disorder, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, IT Band Syndrome, Piriformis Syndrome, Sciatica, Scarring, Oncology Massage and more.

Some of the therapeutic techniques I use are Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release Therapy, Swedish, Cupping, Scar Work and TMJD Intra-Oral Therapy. I also suggest clinical stretching and strengthening exercises, pressure on trigger points, and other self-treatments to lessen pain and maintain progress between massages. 

I enjoy giving luxurious and beneficial Relaxation/Stress Relieving massages, too. Zen Shiatsu and  Reiki are also offered.  See more about these on the Services & Rates page.

TESTIMONIALS

“WOW! I came in with pain in a very specific spot that had come on very quickly. Kate listened, asked questions and got to work. She hit pressure point after pressure point. After just one session, I had regained almost all mobility and the pain had significantly decreased.
She was very generous with her time and knowledge - even giving me some stretches and self-massage tips to continue doing at home. It is obvious that Kate is very passionate about the human body and helping people take care of theirs.
Additionally, Kate is taking very serious COVID precautions. I will definitely be returning. Thank you, Kate!” Caitlin R.

I have had therapy with many massage therapists over several decades and this experience with Kate was exceptionally healing. She tailored the therapy to my needs and I definitely will go to Kate whenever I need relief from muscle and joint pain and stress relief. I had never experienced Reiki and it was deeply relaxing.
