Ms. Feist also specializes in deep tissue and trigger point massage for injuries and chronic muscular aches and pains.  For both athletes and folks suffering from muscular limitation and dysfunction, Ms. Feist teaches trigger point self massage and believes that it is important not only to educate, but empower people to “heal themselves.”

“Giving folks the tools to help themselves, by teaching simple self-massage trigger point work with a ball, is incredibly rewarding, and an important part of my practice,” said Ms. Feist.

Sports and therapeutic massage aren’t the only massage modalities offered at Concord Sports and Therapeutic Massage. For clients with anxiety and stress, Ms. Feist combines massage with special sound healing music, developed by Dr. Mitch Gaynor and others, to effect deep relaxation. “Sound healing is more mainstream now, and used in top hospitals around the country,” explains Ms. Feist.

“It is an important adjunct to the work I do.” Adults are not the only ones dealing with anxiety these days. As a Certified Pediatric Massage Therapist, she is comfortable working with children as well.

Ms. Feist is also a certified Infant Massage teacher, and qualified in Pregnancy, Labor and Postpartum Massage.

Ms. Feist is a member of Concord Indies and Concord BNI.
