About
Evolve Bodywork is the private practice of
Lydia Emery CMT, MLD-C
Helping clients for over 16 years with specializations in Pillossage, Neuromuscular Cupping, Trigger Point work and PNF Stretching. My style utilizes a body-friendly approach to access and release the deeper, more stubborn layers of tissue. I don’t buy into the “no pain, no gain” philosophy. Instead, I will work with your nervous system in order to facilitate communication between the mind and muscles. Each massage is customized to address your specific concerns. Together we will discuss your needs as well as come up with a result-oriented plan.
Your aches and pains advance. Your goals shift. Science progresses, and so should your bodywork.
