Are you suffering from muscular pain? Let Fran Golden of Health & Healing Neuromuscular and Therapeutic Massage get you on the road to recovery through the healing power of massage therapy.

Fran Golden is a nationally certified massage therapist who specializes in neuromuscular massage, body work therapy and reflexology. She is also certified to treat TMJ and postural distortions. She has operated her practice at 413 Kanuga Road for five years and concentrates on the medical aspect of massage rather than the relaxation aspect of it.

Massage therapy and the response it creates within your body can positively affect the body's ability to function properly. Massage can benefit your cardiovascular system; the lymphatic/immune systems; skin; nervous and endocrine systems; muscles; connective tissues; respiratory system; digestive system; and urinary system.

Golden works closely with area chiropractors and surgeons to help people overcome their aches and pains. "My work tends to be more pain relief and range of motion restoration rather than relaxation, although I do some of that as well," she says.

In addition to massage, Golden also teaches a Get Healthy, Stay Balanced class that provides clients with information about eating right to live a more healthy life. "It's about learning proper nutrition, foods to avoid and foods to incorporate in healing along natural lines," she says.

Health & Healing offers Swedish, deep tissue and hot stone massage, reflexology, Ion Detox, nutritional supplements, structural bodywork, chair massage and Christian counseling.
