Swedish deep tissue.
with each Swedish deep tissue massage we find out what you have been directly experiencing, do a basic postural and range of movement assessment, and then we perform a massage session targeting your bodies needs as well as your immediate concerns. We use both deep tissue and traditional Swedish techniques. Please wear soft comfortable clothes if work is to be done clothed. Emollients can be used as well
Trigger point myofascial.
Trigger point myofascial release is both a massage and also some bodywork. We begin with addressing your immediate concerns, and then do a basic postural and range of movement assessment. The work is done mostly on the massage table, and is usually done clothed. There will be some pain involved, although never too much, pain can restrict healing

Handcrafted Humans can help eliminate the causes of body pain and immobility by providing therapeutic massage . Our customers turn to us because our services can help alleviate discomfort from life's various injuries or ailments.

Chris is a life changing bodyworker. His myofascial release work can be both powerful and gentle, depending on the healing needs of the moment. He is patient and carefully takes into account my feedback and goals. I am no longer avoiding exercise due to frozen shoulder and hip pain, and can enjoy working out and ongoing improvement!

Over the past many years I have consistently benefited from Chris Brown's work with me. One notable result is that I can walk and run farther, faster, and with less fatigue now, at age 56, than I could five years ago; another is that I am free of the tension headaches I experienced often in previous. His work has helped me both to heal and to extend that healing on my own. I continue to consult with him regularly.

Christopher Brown CMT Why I Massage
I was that large guy that could push a car by himself, and I learned a work ethic that said give all you have. When I found myself so injured I was unable to work, I also lost a place to live. I was all the way at the bottom when I found therapeutic massage, which has helped me to heal multiple injuries and build an active life.
My doctors told me that my arthritic hip that kept me immobilized was untreatable. My long journey of healing led me to Functional Patterns of Oakland and to the National Holistic Institute, where I became a certified Neuromuscular Massage Therapist. Using the many modalities and tools I learned in school, I was able to correct the hip problem, address my mobility issues, and in my 50’s I am now the healthiest I have ever been.
I love my work as a certified Massage and Nueromuscular Therapist, inside Functional Patterns of Oakland, where I began my journey to healthy movement. I’m passionate about helping those who are interested in helping themselves to be pain free, mobile, and to enjoy the movement of their bodies
