  In 2005 I had a very bad fall off a roof while I was working as a low-voltage subcontractor and dislocated and fractured my left femur. That led to major nerve and muscle damage in my left foot and calf which has gotten worse as I age. Then, in 2016 due to my 2005 fall, I had a left full hip replacement and completed 7 months of physical therapy.  In 2009, I had had enough of freelance graphic design and some other jobs which I had started to do again. After some soul-searching, I enrolled full-time at BTI (Body Therapy Institute) of Massage in Santa Barbara, CA. I was fortunate enough to study with John Harris while he was still alive. I now have over 700 hours of certified massage training hours and am a licensed massage therapist (LMT) in Santa Barbara, Goleta, CA. My massage modalities include Deep Tissue Massage, Barefoot Deep Tissue Massage, Ashiatsu, Shiatsu, Compression Massage, Sports and Injury Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Massage, Neuromuscular Release, Swedish massage, Relaxing Massage, Reflexology Massage, Chair Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, and some Asian bodywork and others. I also offer a Healing Massage for Depression and Anxiety. As soon as I have over 1000 hours of certified massage training I plan to get my national massage license. I now work on call at a spa and have my own massage practice, Riktr Artistic PRO Massage in Santa Barbara, CA. located at 827 State St Suite 20. BTW it is also an Art Studio...

  Scraping therapy is a form of manual therapy on soft tissues where a small tool is used to scrape over soft tissue (fascia, ligaments, tendons, and muscles). This aids in breaking down scar tissue that results from trauma or overuse. Scraping therapy also helps promote a better healing environment by improving circulation in the acute area. Some advantages of scraping therapy include pain relief, a decrease in overall treatment/recovery time, and a reduced need for anti-inflammatory medication. You may benefit from scraping therapy if you’ve been experiencing neck pain, back pain, sprained ankle, torn tendons/ligaments, or chronic pain.
• Myofascial Therapy
  Most manual therapy techniques utilized in physical therapy are compressive in nature (soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, joint mobilization, Graston Technique), MFD works in the decompression of adhesions; reducing inhibitions of fluids and nutrient exchange. It is effective in decreasing stiffness and pain, improving tissue health and increasing mobility.
