What we do
Therapeutic Medical Massage in Boise and Restorative Exercise
Hi, my name is Emily Boudwin. I am a neuromuscular massage therapist in Boise, Idaho. I focus on your specific issues using therapeutic medical massage therapy and restorative exercise.
I know what it feels like to struggle with chronic headaches, neck issues, TMJ pain and migraines. As I've dealt with these issues off and on for many years.
When I work with a well trained massage therapist, one that listens to my needs, and then focuses the session on those specific needs, spending the length of time needed to treat my chronic issues, I find relief from my pain.
Massage with Emily
I will ask you very specific questions about your pain/discomfort/range of motion issues, how long you have had these particular issues and when it flares where does it start.
Your medical/therapeutic massage session is focusing on a specific area that you are experiencing issues with.
Our aim is to reduce your pain/discomfort during this session, help you gain greater range of motion, and help you understand the issues you are presenting with.


Medical Massage
Medical massage is focused on a specific treatment for a specific problem area that you are presenting with, E.g. headache
Emily Boudwin is trained as a neuromuscular massage therapist. She practices massage in Boise, Idaho.
Learn
During your massage treatment session you will learn about what I am doing during your massage and why. We will talk about your daily movement habits, E.g. walking, standing, sitting, computer work, sleeping, etc.
Restorative Exercise
Restorative Exercise focuses on helping you see how you are moving, then helping you to move better.
For example: when you sit in your office chair, do you sit on your tailbone, or on your sitz bones?

why we do it
I’ve been there
Life is stressful. It helps when we are prepared for what life throws at us. Sometimes, though, life isn't planned. I wasn't prepared to raise a special needs daughter, one who threw the book at me: epilepsy, food allergies, gut issues, adhd, autism, severe learning disability. I didn't know how to handle the chronic long term stress. Thus my body started presenting with chronic stress related problems: IBS, migraines, neuropathy, TMJ pain, headaches, gut issues, stiff neck, etc.
What has helped me?
Paying attention to my own body. Taking the time to "see" me. Giving myself permission to focus on my own health, mental/physical/emotional. Saying yes to what is good and good for me right now. Saying no to those things that are good, but not good for me right now. This last one has been a learning process. Over committing myself is extremely harmful to me and to those around me.
When you work with me, I am helping you to focus on "seeing" you. The first step to changing, adding something in, etc., is to start "seeing" yourself. You cannot make progress without first "seeing".
Neuromuscular Massage
In 2010, Emily Boudwin graduated from a 760 hour massage therapy program at Gwinnett College Sandy Springs GA, Summa Cum Laude. Six months of that year long program was spent learning and becoming certified as a neuromuscular massage therapist.
So what is NMT: "Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is a precise, thorough examination and treatment of the body’s soft tissues using regionally oriented protocols that are taught in a step-by-step process. These time-tested, hands-on techniques are built upon a science-based foundation and guided by clinical evidence."
