Been seeing Elena for over 12 years, and began consistently 4 months ago. I’m fairly active, and from my 20’s on have suffered from chronic contraction of the spinal erectors, which limits full range of motion and disrupts muscle mechanics. Staying consistent with Elena has relieved the tension, affording me full range of motion, when nothing else worked. This is especially critical for strength training, sports and other physical activities. I’m actually stronger and have much more stamina during physical activity because I can move properly. In contrast to the countless massage therapists I’ve seen over the years, she understands the intricate balance of the muscular system, and she is adept at finding and treating the source of local and referred pain alike. Excellent therapist in my experience.
