Massage in South Jordan

As a mother of two children and a licensed massage therapist, Rebecca Overson believes that "pregnancy can be enjoyed, not just endured." While pregnant with her first child, Rebecca had a hard time finding a bodywork specialist with the skill, sensitivity, and expertise required to meet her changing body's needs. It was this struggle that inspired her to open Salt Lake Prenatal Massage, a place that would provide expert support to other women during and after pregnancy.

Holding certifications in prenatal and postpartum massage, as well as a BA in spiritual psychology, Rebecca uses her personal and professional know-how to guide a staff of other licensed therapists and a pregnancy fitness specialist. A staff member is also on hand to watch youngsters while their expectant mothers relax atop orthopedic body-support cushions.

Licensed massage therapist Jo-El Person eases tight muscles and subdues stress with 10 different soothing modalities. In addition to standard methods such as Swedish, prenatal and deep-tissue massage, she can stimulate circulation and treat ailments using various methods of hydrotherapy. Jo-El also realigns energy meridians with Shiatsu techniques by applying her thumbs, fingers, palms, and feet to acupressure points and soothes hyperirritable muscular regions during trigger-point therapy. Recipients of massage often experience a host of benefits such as soft-tissue healing, strengthened immune systems, and a bolstered sense of how 401(k)s work.
