Chicago West Myofascial Therapy

Specialties

My business specializes in the relief and prevention of myofascial pain. Myo means muscle and fascial refers to the fascia that surrounds every skeletal muscle. Evaluating the reason WHY someone has muscle pain and correcting that as well as treating the muscles themselves is the key to pain relief. My focus is on educating patients; why they have pain, what can be done to correct it and prevent it’s return.

History

Established in 1987.

My business was started in Naperville, IL in 1987 after completion of my certification as a myofascial trigger point therapist and exercise therapist in Lenox, MA.

I have given lectures locally and in Europe about the benefits of myofascial trigger point therapy.

I share office space with drs of chiropractic and massage therapists.

Meet the Business Owner

Lezlie M.

Business Owner

I used to suffer from a chronic stiff neck and headaches which were often debilitating. I knew that my neck muscles were tight all the time but hadn’t found lasting relief from chiropractic, massage or medication. I learned of something called myofascial trigger point therapy and that it often eliminated headaches and neck pain. I flew from Chicago to Lenox, Ma to investigate a school that taught this therapy and to experience it for myself. There were no other therapists at that time that I knew of. After being treated and feeling the relief of pain and tightness in my neck, I knew I had found my calling. No one in the entire Chicago area was doing this work at that time.

That was in 1985. After graduating, I opened my practice in Naperville. I no longer have neck pain or headaches and am certain that it’s because I treat my muscles frequently and because I teach patients how to stretch, my muscles are stretched daily which means they remain flexible and pain-​free.
