FAQs

We treat patients as individuals and not just another diagnosis. We optimize results using targeted therapeutic massage techniques.

THE TRAGER APPROACH – Our specialty, this integrative therapy was discovered by Milton Trager, MD in the 1940’s and developed into the 1990’s. Both highly relaxing and clinically potent, Trager blends soft tissue mobilization with gentle rhythmic movements to quickly release muscular tension and patterning and rebalance the nervous system.

STRAIN COUNTERSTRAIN – This positional release technique, used at Seattle Manual Therapy was popularized by Dr. Lawrence Jones, D.O.PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION – Uses to stretch and normalize muscle function.

MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE – This soft tissue approach helps to align the spine and restore joint and muscle function.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE – Use of this three-dimensional technique releases muscles and fascia. It can bring relief from chronic pain or discomfort resultant of sports injury, trauma or auto accidents.

VISCERAL MANIPULATION – With this hands on approach, visceral manipulation works on organ disturbances to restore health.

SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION – This is a therapeutic massage technique used for balancing the motion and movement of muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue.

NEUROMOBILIZATION – Patients find relief when impingements are mobilized and irritations of the nerve are freed. Function is improved and pain is reduced.

BACK PAIN – Relief for low back pain, mid back pain and upper back pain can be a reality. Disk problems, postural problems, limited movement and stuck vertebrae are conditions helped with the Trager Approach, Manual Therapy, Myofascial release, and other medical massage techniques.

NECK PAIN – Neck pain can exert itself suddenly or be a nagging presence aggravated by circumstances beyond our control. Often, there isn’t a way around long seated commutes and hours seated at desks. All too often posture is compromised by extended time spent at the computer and pain is the result. Neck pain can come suddenly, resultant of an auto accident and whiplash, sports injury, or even individual anatomy. Together, we can explore the origin of your neck pain and bring real relief using Trager and other manual therapy techniques.

HEADACHE – The causes of headache pain are diverse, accordingly we seek and treat the origin of the headache pain. Patients treated at Seattle Manual Therapy have found relief from the following kinds of headaches: tension, migraine, cervical, cluster, chronic, menstrual, and sinus related headaches. Neural, trigeminal, and sub occipital nerve headaches are also conditions that can be treated with various kinds of therapeutic massage techniques used at Seattle Manual Therapy.

TMJ Disorders – Local physicians, chiropractors, and dentists often refer patients to Seattle Manual Therapy because of Joe Rodin’s specific expertise in treating jaw misalignment, clicking, popping, and limited opening. He uses individualized intraoral and extra oral treatments, Trager Massage, and a diversity of Manual Therapy techniques.

FIBROMYALGIA and CHRONIC PAIN – Joe addresses fibromyalgia and other chronic pain syndromes, including, complex regional pain syndrome, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. His methods have the benefit of gently reducing symptoms with a low risk of triggering common inflammatory flares.
