Meet Kristy Tanner, Massage Therapist
A Passion for Therapeutic Bodywork
Through her years of caregiving work, Kristy Tanner discovered her gift for massage therapy; clients consistently noted her natural talent for providing relief through touch.
“I love the fact that when people get off the table, they feel much better; they have more movement.”
Education and Techniques Offered
After initially training in Arizona in 2006, Kristy returned to massage therapy education in South Dakota five years ago, making it her full-time calling. She specializes in therapeutic deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, TMJ treatment, and prenatal massage. Her approach is detailed and results-oriented, focusing on troubled areas while understanding how they connect to the whole body.
Building Lasting Client Relationships
While maintaining the utmost professionalism, Kristy creates a welcoming environment where clients feel heard and understood. Her intuitive bodywork, combined with careful attention to clients’ needs, has earned her a loyal following.
A Workout for the Body
Kristy views massage, especially her therapeutic approach, as a workout for the body. She educates clients on proper preparation, emphasizing the importance of hydration and nutrition before sessions. “Massage, especially the type of massage I do, is kind of a workout.”
She offers flexible session lengths from 30 to 120 minutes, though she recommends focusing on just one or two areas during shorter sessions for maximum effectiveness. Kristy’s toolkit includes specialized techniques like fascia release using a fascia blaster tool, which helps achieve deeper muscle release and increased range of motion more quickly than traditional hand techniques alone.
