Massage Therapist Mish Curtis offers three foundational, effective techniques, as well as several specialty treatments. Her broad expertise offers many benefits to her clients.

SWEDISH MASSAGE is the most common and well-known technique. It is usually applied with oil and incorporate long, smooth, slow strokes along with kneading, friction, compression, percussion and vibration. This system of treatment provides relaxation to the mind and body along with increased cell nutrition, improved circulation, and may reduce swelling, speed healing, lower blood pressure and reduce stress.

DEEP TISSUE is a technique that focuses on deeper layers of the muscle tissue. It aims to release chronic patterns of tension, reduce adhesions and scar tissue and increase general blood flow to the fascia, tendons, ligaments and muscle tissue. Slow deep strokes are used with pressure applied with the fingers, knuckles and elbows. This technique often feels good immediately after the treatment and for days after it, although soreness is common.

SPORTS INJURY MASSAGE is used to help active people and athletes to prevent injury and recover quickly from workouts and to maintain optimal condition. Depending on the time of next activity, this technique can often feel invigorating and can be used to prep the body for an athletic endeavor. Compressions, range of motion and stretching are used to prepare the muscles for demanding activities.

Mish also combines other techniques in her massages including: Hydrotherapy, Aromatherapy, Foot Reflexology, Hawaiian massage and Reiki energy work.

MISH CURTIS, Massage Therapist
Mish comes from a dance and theatre background, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Dance at Southern Oregon State University in 1990. Her combined fascination with kinesiology, the mechanics of bodies in motion, and the process of physical recovery from injury led her to study therapeutic massage. She graduated from Brennekie School of Massage in 1994 and began a 10-year employment at an Athletic Club in downtown Seattle. During this tenure, she developed her style which incorporates a combination of techniques including: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports Injury, Reflexology, Lomi Lomi, Reiki, Aromatherapy, and Hot Stone massage. Mish looks forward to assisting a new clientele who are looking to strengthen, rejuvenate, recover, and revive their spirits through bodywork.

In her spare time Mish roams the trails and parks with her husband and her golden retriever, takes Tango and African dance classes, choreographs and performs at various venues and is an aspiring collage and mixed-media artist.
