Hello, and thank you for visiting my website.

 

I'm Jc Drobac, a certified and licensed massage therapist, in private practice for the last 11 years, working in chiropractic offices and health clinics, maintaining a home studio in St. Paul and a studio in Northeast/Southeast Mpls. 

 

I am a current member of ABMP

(Association of Bodywork and Massage Professionals).

 

I received my diploma in 2001 from the  

Minneapolis School of Massage and Bodywork.

 

If you're looking for specialized bodywork to support

a healthier you, I may be able to support your journey...

 

Massage therapy has a 2,000-year history of increasing longevity, flexibility and improved quality of life for its devotees--and each year, the numbers of those who discover these benefits grows.

 

Many of my in-studio clients originally arrive needing rehabilitation assistance 

from an issue causing pain or limitation. They might be seeking pain relief from a chronically painful neck or back, a restricted shoulder, TMJ or plantar fasciitis,

or painful menstrual periods.

 

Others choose bodywork because it can support maintaining flexibility, range-of-motion, general loosening of hypertonic muscle tissue

 or lymphatic flushing work before an upcoming event,

or just to keep them at their "everyday best" as a part of their self-care routine. 

 

What many soon find out is that therapeutic bodywork treatments can contribute to so much more than simple neck or back pain relief--or even a good flush release. 

It can add to the framework for a more balanced, all-around healthier life plan.

 

 

 

 

Experts estimate that upwards of 90% of diseases have a stress-related origin. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, bodywork can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into:

 

 

 Clients have often noted a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a treatment session. The emotional balance and "clearing" that bodywork supports can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.

Some of my clients had never experienced therapeutic massage before our sessions. Others have, some having had wonderful prior experiences,

while others may have had a less-than-ideal experience. 

Whatever your situation, it can all contribute to making our treatment sessions rewarding ones for you now.  

 

Regardless of your issues or symptoms, my approach to bodywork is that it is something always done

with my client and I working together

---never something done "to" a client.

 

 

 

 

I believe techniques and their depths/pressure should never exceed a client's level of tolerance or it's just counter-productive in too many ways. 

 

MILD discomfort may occur when working on troubled areas, but I encourage clients to communicate if they feel anything intolerable,

and I will often check in with clients to ensure their comfort. 

 

 

 

 

I work with a slow, but deep pressure that respects the fascia's (skin's) many layers, allowing any fibrotic tissues to open up naturally and at a pace that lets each client's body dictate what it needs (not the therapist choosing what depth they want to apply).  This deep application is (involving many fascia layers, muscle tissues, which supports lymphatic drainage and can decrease inflammation at the painful areas) done slowly which, in turn, doesn't trigger the already hypersensitive nerves that accompany any painful condition.
