Welcome to Valencia Bodywork

Megan Valencia is able to help you find the cause of your pain and work with you to release it. Many clients have had their issues completely resolved in a few sessions. In other cases, keeping a regular (monthly) scheduled appointment to do a couple stretches together is enough to keep the problem from troubling your daily life.

The musculoskeletal system of the body works within the constraints of a network of tissue known as connective tissue or fascia. This is the target tissue of my massage and bodywork. By creating more space in your fascial network, the muscles are better able to function the way they were meant to and in their full range of motion.  We can work together to create new (and better!) patterns of movement that support your more spacious body.

Testimonials

Megan Valencia is absolutely amazing.  I have used her Rossiter services on several occasions and the results were life changing. I am a power lifter and ultra runner and Megan has helped me successfully overcome several issues. Rossiter has been life changing and I highly recommend Megan!

“I saw Megan for general leg pain, that I have had for a long time. The pain limited my ability and desire to be active and sometimes made my daily activities difficult. Megan listened to me and her treatments helped me get back on track. My pain was reduced and that allowed me to start doing things like walking for exercise again.  I feel like my legs are loose and free and will know when that feeling goes away that I will need a “tune up”.  It felt really good to be heard and to have someone that could help.”
Jennifer McHenry, ATC, LATAthletic Trainer for City High
“My feet are doing fantastic! There were some days that were so discouraging and I thought oh no, this will just be the rest of life. But they did get BETTER! I am full speed walking and not a crumbling mess when I start walking. There are moments when I’m a bit touchy but i am soooooo in a new chapter. I have my life back. Thank you! We took an adventure I couldn’t have enjoyed as much without you. I had to RUN to catch the train. It was a close call. I haven’t been able to run in a year. Your work has renewed my ability to RUN!”

Here are some key takeaways to optimize your experience with the Rossiter Stretching Technique:

Be Mindful

Pay attention to your body’s sensations during walks and between sessions. Notice any changes or areas of concern to discuss with your practitioner.

Embrace the Challenge

Rossiter exercises can be demanding. Be prepared to work hard, focus, and persevere through discomfort.

Become an Active Learner

This is an opportunity to gain valuable insights into your body’s mechanics, posture,and movement patterns. Learn how to make positive changes for improved function.

Make Adjustments

Be open to modifying your environment or habits to support your progress. This could involve rearranging your workspace for better ergonomics.

Slow and Steady

Focus on quality over quantity. Perform each exercise slowly and deliberately, paying attention to areas that feel tight. Discomfort is a sign of progress!

Holistic Approach

As one area improves, imbalances may emerge elsewhere. Be aware of these changes and communicate them to your Rossiter coach for a comprehensive treatment plan.
