Conditions

What Tissue Alchemy helps with.

Tissue Alchemy is often the work people find after they've already tried what was supposed to work. Below are the patterns that come through the door most often.

"Most therapists are content to simply provide a massage. Sharon takes the time to understand what's going on and explain what needs to be done to get you back to balance — she's even given me techniques I can do on my own. She truly cares about her clients."

Michael L., on his feet all day

"She was adept at finding the sources of my problem areas and resolved things efficiently — she's not a therapist who'll ask you to come back two or three times for one issue, she really hones in. A true professional, and it's obvious she cares about her craft."

Zach C., wildfire dispatcher

"I described my chronic roar of pain and she had a plan of action — she told me where she was going to focus, and did the work. To see progress is something I didn't think was ever gonna happen. Sharon listens, and she knows what she's doing."

J., chronic knee pain
  1. Arthritis

    Joint pain that's been chalked up to wear-and-tear often has a fascial component nobody's touched yet.

  2. Tendonitis

    When a tendon keeps flaring up, the trigger often isn't the tendon itself but the fascial restriction pulling on it.

  3. Chronic neck pain

    Neck pain that returns no matter how many times it gets worked on usually has a deeper anchor somewhere in the chest, shoulder, or jaw.

    Read more →
  4. Frozen shoulder

    Adhesive capsulitis is slow, painful, and frustrating. Patient, layered fascial work can shorten the timeline.

    Read more →
  5. Sciatica & piriformis

    Pain that runs down the leg is often a deep-hip problem masquerading as a back problem.

    Read more →
  6. TMJ

    Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, ear pressure. The work often reaches further down the body than people expect.

    Read more →
  7. Plantar fasciitis

    The plantar fascia rarely lives in isolation. Calves, hamstrings, hips, and even shoulders can be feeding the pattern.
