 Barbara Smith, L.M.T., A.O.S.
Barbara
is a graduate of the Massage Therapy Program at the New York College
for Wholistic Health Education & Research, with an Associate
Degree of Occupational Studies. Subsequent to passing the New
York State board examination, she established her private practice “Thera-Care
Massage & Wellness”. Simultaneously, Barbara assisted
a classmate in establishing a wellness center in Nassau County,
where she still remains an active professional.
Her belief that massage can effectively be used to promote, restore and maintain health is evident in her treatment protocol. In addition to practicing European massage and Amma Therapy©, Barbara maintains practice in medical, pregnancy, infant, reflexology and Muscle Release Technique â treatments. The Muscle Release Technique© and medical massage are treatments for specific physical problems. These are directed to specific muscle groups, focusing on deeper layers of muscle tissue and result in the release of chronic patterns of tension in the body.
In September 2005, Barbara participated in a seminar for therapists working with cancer patients. Concern in the past that massage may spread cancer has limited the ability for the profession to provide massage therapy for people in cancer treatment. This seminar outlined the steps necessary to work safely, skillfully and compassionately with people with cancer.
Barbara believes that educating the public in the understanding and acceptance of massage therapy is very important. Massage therapy can be effectively used to aid in the prevention of disease. Massage therapy is the “mind-body connection” bringing physical and mental health benefits.
