General Info
Amber Suders, CMT, CPT, PTA As a body worker in the Hampton Roads area for more than 8 years, I have had over a thousand clients. Whether they come to me for physical therapy, group exercise instruction, or massage therapy, I have experienced age ranges from 10 to 96 years of age, and worked with all the pathologies common to these age groups. Being a medical massage therapist and personal trainer, my primary focus is looking for muscle, bone, and fascial imbalances in the body which commonly cause dysfunction. These parts of the body can be corrected with stretching, strengthening, myofascial (muscle/connective tissue) releases, increased range of motion, and/or realignment. I want to clearly define that I do not perform chiropractic services or grade 5 mobilizations; however, there are many other ways to align the body or manipulate muscle groups to encourage the body’s natural ability to align itself.
