Massage Therapist Kim Young C.M.T. |
I have lived in Jackson since 1992. I first visited in 1987 and decided then that it would be my home.
I knew that I wanted more specific knowledge in helping clients with injuries and clients recovering from and preparing for athletic activities. After graduating from massage school, I worked
full time for a physical therapist for 6 months. I then enrolled in 200 hours of continuing education courses dedicated to sports injury and orthopedic massage at the Boulder College of Massage
Therapy in Boulder, CO and later at Heartwood Institute in northern CA. At this point I have well over 1000 hours in training and continuing education. I am always learning as much as I can to
help my clients. In Sept. 2013, I had a lumbar fusion to repair an old injury that I did not discover until March of 2013. It was a pars fracture of my L4 vertebrae. It turns out, the vertebrae had been mobile for so many years, it had worn away my disc between L4/L5. This resulted in impinged nerves which limited the use of my left leg and core muscles. I have had an amazing recovery and have worked with amazing doctors and physical therapists along the way. While recovering, I made use of the time when I couldn't work, by earning a certification in personal training . This experience has taught me so much and has improved my massage therapy practice.
I have been practicing massage since 2001. I am very grateful for all of my clients and look forward to working with new clients.
Thank you, Kim Young
