Bodywork and Movement Therapy
Bodywork and Movement Therapy
My name is Nicole Nelson, and my goal is to help people move better and feel better. I am an ACSM-certified exercise physiologist and licensed massage therapist with an MSH in Exercise Science and Chronic Disease and 10 years of experience teaching Exercise Science at the University of North Florida.
I draw on both research and practical experience to create comprehensive, effective, and safe treatment plans.
Have you ever wondered why the relief you feel after a massage doesn't last? Maybe the same pain patterns return in a day or so?
I am a huge believer in the power of massage for managing pain and helping people feel better, BUT massage therapy, like most passive therapies, has its limitations. Truth be told, massage alone won't "fix" most people. Rather, the path to feeling better often involves a blend of passive and active therapies.
What works for some doesn't work for others. As such, a successful bodywork session needs to be tailored to the individual and may require a variety of approaches. Some of the bodywork techniques I use include trigger point therapy, cupping, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), and myofascial release techniques.
To ingrain the changes we make during a bodywork session, some purposeful movement is often needed. I'll work with you to develop a customized exercise plan designed to improve your strength, flexibility, mobility, and overall well-being.
Whether you're an athlete recovering from an injury or someone struggling with chronic pain, I offer personalized treatment plans to address your specific needs.
I have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including golfer's/tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, neck pain, knee pain, headaches, plantar fasciitis, back pain, shoulder/rotator cuff injuries, and TMJD with associated bruxism (teeth grinding).
Perhaps one of the nicest aspects of Full Nelson Massage Therapy is its convenience. I bring the therapeutic experience to you! As such, you can enjoy a massage in the comfort of your own home, with no need to rush to your appointment and no need to travel after our session.
