Magen Charters is a Registered Sports Massage Therapist (RSMT) with advanced training in Sports Massage Therapy that goes beyond the standard RMT curriculum. Her education included additional study of biomechanics, injury assessment, athletic performance recovery, rehabilitation techniques, and sport-specific treatment approaches—areas where many Registered Massage Therapists have not received formal instruction unless they have pursued further education. Her practice emphasizes a multi-modal therapeutic approach, integrating methods such as sports massage, myofascial release, cupping therapy, hydrotherapy, taping, personalized rehabilitation, and injury-specific exercise programs to provide treatments that are both supportive and preventative. While RMTs are not qualified to provide a medical diagnosis, Magen draws on her advanced training and clinical experience to observe contributing factors and design treatment plans that support her clients’ goals for recovery and wellness. These assessments may complement information received from other health professionals, giving clients a broader understanding of their condition. With years of hands-on clinical experience and advanced education, Magen takes a results-focused approach: she refers clients to other professionals when appropriate, adapts treatment strategies when progress stalls, and encourages exploring new approaches when needed. Her philosophy is that care should lead to meaningful progress, rather than continuing without measurable outcomes. Each treatment is individually tailored, addressing the specific needs of her clients—whether for injury recovery, performance goals, improved mobility, or general wellness. Magen’s fees reflect her advanced education, additional training, and commitment to evidence-informed practice, aligning with current rates for highly trained therapists providing comprehensive therapeutic care with a focus on meaningful outcomes.
Jaw issues & Headaches
Massage therapy, including intraoral techniques, can be a highly effective way to address TMJ disorders and headachescaused by jaw tension. By relaxing tight muscles, improving blood flow, and reducing stress, massage therapy can help alleviate pain, improve jaw function, and reduce the frequency of headaches. If you suffer from TMJ-related symptoms or tension headaches, consider seeking a qualified massage therapist with training in intraoral massage to provide relief and support healing. Always consult with your healthcare provider to ensure a comprehensive approach to treatment.
(Foot Pain)
Massage can help with Plantar Fasciitis and other types of foot pain, especially if it’s caused by tight calf muscles. Tight calves can put extra strain on the foot, leading to discomfort or pain that mimics plantar fasciitis. Techniques like deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy can relieve tension in the calves and feet, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing, whether you have plantar fasciitis or simply tight muscles causing foot pain.
Piniched nerve, tingling, hot cold sensations, burning
Massage can help with neurological pain by promoting relaxation, reducing muscle tension, and improving circulation to affected areas. It can help decrease the intensity of pain by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. Additionally, massage may reduce nerve compression and increase mobility, which can alleviate symptoms like tingling, numbness, or shooting pain associated with neurological conditions.
Forearm & Elbow Pain
Massage can help with tendinitis by improving blood circulation, reducing muscle tension, and promoting healing. Techniques like deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy can relieve pain, increase flexibility, and break down scar tissue.
