massage Therapty
with carol alvarez

at Sun & Moon Yoga, Arlington

Practicing in Arlington since 1994 with a Physical Therapy Degree from my native Bolivia, my approach to healing is a blend of traditional Swedish massage coupled with orthopedic, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy and deep tissue massage techniques for relaxation, pain management and muscle retraining. 

I find special interest in the care of pregnant women, promoting infant massage and supporting recovery after birth. Currently, I am expanding my practice to care for people with cancer.  As a breast cancer survivor, I experienced first-hand the benefits of lymphatic massage, taping and other massage techniques to treat radiation-induced fibrosis and consequent loss of elasticity, shortening, and contracture of tendons, ligaments and muscles.
