I’m seen here holding on to the bars used in Ashiatsu Massage to remain balanced while I let my feet do the work.
Hi, I’m Johnny Cochrane, a massage therapist centrally located in the Flathead Valley.
While Swedish massage is the foundation for most massage therapy, my treatments go way beyond the basics. In addition to Ashiatsu, I’m certified in neuromuscular therapy, sports massage, chair massage, cupping, kinesio taping, and Graston technique—a method using specially designed tools to gently break up scar tissue and improve mobility. I also incorporate essential oils, ice and heat therapy, and electric massage tools as needed to make sure you get the most out of your session.
I customize every session to match your unique needs, and I don’t charge for the add-ons like essential oils.
In fact, because I believe great care shouldn’t come with a bunch of extra fees, add-ons like cupping, Graston, and essential oils are always included at no additional cost. My pricing is the same across the board for everything from sports massage to Ashiatsu. So whether you’re working through an injury, prepping for an event, or just need to relax, I’ve got your back 😄. And Let’s work together to get you feeling your absolute best!
Three of My Most Popular Massage Treatments to Help Reduce Your Stress, Feel Your Best, and Help Keep You Active
Ashiatsu Massage
Ashiatsu, which comes from the Japanese words “ashi” (foot) and “atsu” (pressure), is a type of massage where the therapist uses their feet to apply deep gliding strokes and compression, as needed. The therapist typically holds onto overhead bars for balance. This unique approach allows for deeper, broader pressure than can be done using the hands alone. It helps relieve muscle tension, influence circulation, and provide an excellent therapeutic experience outside the box of the usual cookie-cutter massage.
Kinesio taping
Kinesio (short for kinesiology) taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a mostly cotton blend of elastic tape to the skin, in specific patterns. It works to reduce pain, influence circulation, and provide support but still allows a good range of motion. If it’s good enough for physical therapists and elite athletes, it’s good enough for us, right? The tape can be a great way to improve posture! Maybe most importantly, it’s something I can show you how to do for yourself, or others.
Chair Massage
Chair massage is a type of massage therapy performed while the client is seated in a specifically designed massage chair. During the 20-minute session, the massage therapist can treat mainly upper body concerns such as neck, back, shoulders, and arms. Kneading, compression, stretching, occasional cupping vibrational tools, and even doTERRA essential oils are used to reduce stress, renew tired muscles, improve circulation, and provide a relaxing experience without undressing or paperwork.
My Approach to Massage Therapy
My Holistic Perspective
I take into account not only your physical condition, but also any mental, emotional, work, or family stuff that may be contributing factors. I’m very thorough with first-time clients!
We begin by looking over your medical history and intake forms, discussing what you’ve tried in the past, and what I may offer to help you feel and think better. We’ll talk about your goals for the session. You’ll even be encouraged to choose what music you’ll listen to.
Let’s Talk About Music and Massage
Music can have a profound effect on the nervous system! My many years of experience, along with your preferences, will determine what therapy tools we’ll use. This may include Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point massage therapy, cupping, kinesio taping, ice, heat, topical pain relievers, and even doTERRA essential oils.
All are designed to alleviate tension, reduce pain and inflammation, and send you home ready to solve all the world’s problems! (Just one at a time please, save some work for the rest of us!!😃🤣)
