Descending modulation plays a big role in how much pain relief patients get in massage therapy. How this works depends on biology and context.

We’ve all been told our whole lives we need ‘good’ posture: sit up straight, stand straight with shoulders back, and lift by bending the knees. It turns out there’s really no evidence for that advice.

Innerwaves is proud to welcome Claire Burley to our collective.

Claire was educated in Bozeman, Montana, graduating from the 750 hour LMT program at Health Works Institute in 2016. Massage, yoga, and meditative breath-work are some of her passions.

Her work is fueled by the belief that every being deserves to live in physical harmony with themselves. We only get one body— massage is a tool we can use to facilitate our best selves, to move with ease, to find personal peace, and to get more out of life.

She has studied modalities created by John Barnes, Brian Utting, and Erik Dalton.

Innerwaves is proud to welcome Garry Stephenson to our collective.

"I have been a certified massage therapist in Lafayette, Indiana for 7 years. During this time, I have acquired well over 10,000 hours of hands-on massage therapy; here is how I began. I enrolled at Ivy Tech Community College in the summer of 2012 trying to find a new purpose in my life as I neared retirement. I was driven to become a Massage Therapist. I graduated in 2015 after 3 years; 9 straight semesters of studying all that Ivy Tech offered in health care with a focus on Anatomy. My degree reads: “Associates of Applied Science in Health Care Specialist.” My major was (is) Massage Therapy. I have attended many seminars, acquired many Continuing Education credits, practiced many massage modalities, and become a distinguished massage therapist.

My massage is eclectic, focusing on restoring the natural balance of the body's soft tissue and kinesthetic awareness. My pressure begins with gentle firmness and ranges between light, medium, to extra-firm pressure; never creating pain or upsetting the nervous system. My massage is patient, not forcing change but rather inviting it. I have strong awareness, natural intuition, allowing me to feel and sense what the musculature wants and needs from me each session to promote healing. No matter what a client presents to me, I can help. 100% focus on you, 100% of the time. Keep in mind that the benefits of massage are cumulative."

Garry's modalities include:

Swedish massage

Cranial sacral therapy: migraines, head and neck tension

Myo-skeletal release

Myo-fascial release

Sports massage for recovery

Hip, sacrum, pelvis, gluteal, sciatic nerve pain

Trigger point therapy

Stretching for increasing range of motion

We'd also like to welcome our newest Massage Therapist, Willow Silverayne.

"Hey, my name is Willow! I've lived in Lafayette, Indiana for a few years now. My little family has since made a home here!

Back in 2012, I received my diploma for Massage Therapy from Everest University in Tampa, Florida. I had an amazing educator--Henry J. Steffes, Jr--who helped shape me into the person and practitioner that I am today. I then went on to study the French language at Austin Peay State University. While enrolled at Austin Peay, I studied abroad at l'Université de Québec à Chicoutimi.

I'm a member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. My continuing education focus so far has been Sound Therapy from the international sound healing practitioner and Licensed Massage Therapist, Rosie Warburton. I'm excited to bring all the healing techniques that I've learned to the Lafayette community through Innerwaves Massage Therapy!

Willow's modalities include:

• Swedish Massage
• Deep Tissue Massage
• Hot Stone Massage
