Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Meet Alanna Carlson
Licensed Massage Therapist
As a Massage Therapist, I recognize my clients as the individuals they are and treat them with compassion. My ultimate goal is to help individuals find their path to a pain-free life through Integrated Positional Therapy and therapeutic massage techniques.
In 2010, I graduated from the Hesser College Portsmouth NH Massage Therapy program. Since then I have been practicing in New Hampshire. Currently, I am the only Massage Therapist in the state of New Hampshire to be certified in the Lee Albert Protocol, Integrated Positional Therapy.
When I am not working with clients I can be found outdoors or making art. I am an animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and an avid mountain biker. If the weather is unfavorable, I am often creating paintings or other art pieces. Because of my active lifestyle, I understand the importance of enjoying an array of activities while remaining pain-free.
Integrated Positional Therapy:
The Therapy for Chronic Muscular Pain
The certification, which followed 300 hours of study, is based on a treatment method developed and followed by Lee Albert, a neuromuscular therapist at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in the Berkshires.
Integrated Positional Therapy is a gentle yet effective therapy for the treatment of chronic and acute muscular pain. This treatment includes careful observation and evaluation of posture followed by placing the affected muscles in a position of comfort for 90 seconds. When the pain vanishes from the tender point, the stressed tissues are at their most relaxed. Positional Release Therapy achieves its benefits by automatic resetting of the muscle spindles. This combined with gentle stretching allows relief to be both immediate and long lasting. These techniques are very effective in the treatment of pain due to injury, stress, postural distortion, and chronic neuromuscular conditions.
