Matisse's therapy is an integral part of my ability to perform as a musician, and my ability to work long hours at a computer.
Matisse's therapy provides me with long-term relief for tight muscles in my back, neck, and shoulders. My muscles would tend to tighten and knot due to computer activities and my musical activities. I play trombone and piano, and both of those activities require extensive muscle control and flexibility, and have muscles holding awkward positions for relatively long periods of time. I can't have any knots or soreness. Other masseuses do not have the deep-tissue technique that Matisse employs to really get to the heart of the problem.
In addition to her massage therapy, when I asked Matisse for recommendations for how I can prevent the problems from re-occurring, she provided tips on flexibility exercises that I can do daily to help keep my muscles limber and flexible.

In our busy life, working, family and other obligations we need to take care of ourself so we can help others. When I first went for treatment with Matisse I was in so much pain all over my body and Matisse worked on me until I got better. Matisse has a beautiful heart, healing hands and I would recommend her to all my friends and family.

My mother raved about what a great massage therapist Matisse was, so, after my car accident I immediately called Matisse. She was able to help alleviate the severe pain that I felt in my neck and lower back within a short period of time. I truly appreciate the time and care that she takes when giving a massage. Matisse is really intuned with what my body needs and I continue to recommend her to my friends, family and colleagues

I went through massage school with Matisse. Since the first day of class, she was the "go to girl." That is, she was the one who, after the intense classes, would explain the lessons to many of us in simple layman's terms. The extent of her understanding of the human body has contributed to her success as a massage therapist and teacher. Active as she is, Matisse has experienced more than a few accidents and injuries, resulting in a deep compassion and empathy for her clients. I would recommend Matisse to anyone. She has a heart of gold and an elbow of iron!
