San Diego Restorative Massage

Spa & MassageOwner Verified

About

Specialty massage practice for clients 55 and over, run by an AMTA-member California Certified Massage Therapist out of Suite 3 at 4732 Point Loma Ave in the Sunset Cliffs section of OB. Her 2006 Associate Degree in Holistic Health from IPSB — the long-running San Diego bodywork school — was layered in 2021 with a second Associate Degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant, a clinical cross-training that mirrors the rehabilitation orientation of geriatric-welcoming adjustment work at Ocean Beach Family Chiropractic | Chiropractor. Session work targets arthritic pain, muscle stiffness, and range-of-motion restoration rather than general relaxation, with a client base that typically books standing appointments every 4 to 6 weeks for maintenance between higher-intensity medical care. The PTA credential means she reads post-surgical mobility patterns and compensatory gait issues using the same diagnostic vocabulary spoken at Point Loma Physical Therapy, which makes cross-referrals workable in either direction. The most demanding work handled here is long-term pain management for seniors with multiple comorbidities — the clients whose arthritis, prior surgeries, and medication-related tissue sensitivity require session modification that generalist therapists rarely have the clinical training to execute safely.
