Susan Younger
Background/Massage Techniques: Susan K. Younger has been a licensed Massage Therapist since 1998 and began massage therapy as a second career after decades in design, architecture and corporate facility management. Her prior education was a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa in 1974.
After receiving her basic Swedish Massage Training from the Austin School of Massage Therapy, Susan continued with advance training in Myofascial Release certification from the C.O.R.E. Institute of Tallahassee, FL July 1999 and Myofascial Structural Integration certification in June 2000 from the C.O.R.E. Massage Institute of Knoxville, TN.
She counts the Anatomy Trains course work from Tom Myers as the most inspiring training that helps her visualize the connections throughout the body from head to toe. Often with this work you are able to understand that an ache in the shoulder or neck is as much effected by issues in feet and legs and not only isolated to the area most associated with pain.
All of her work is based on Myofascial Release and Structural Integration. Even in chair massage she is able to uses these techniques. Susan integrates other modalities she has added to her work throughout the years including Ortho-Bionomy, Acupressure, Trigger Point and Reflexology. This training gives her a unique perspective to work with clients to help them understand their own body and what issues they want to focus on in any session.
After years in corporate work environments she understands the pressures of overwhelming commitments and the effects of extended time frame spent sitting in front of a computer have on an individual to create tension we learn to ignore until it leave you feeling debilitated.
Susan is a professional member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP).
