Maryann Burcar, AA, HHP, CMT, LMT (Owner and Certified Practitioner) earned her associate degree in Kinesiology, Health & Nutrition, 1000 hour Holistic Health Practitioner, plus over 1600 hours

Maryann previously earned a BS and MS degree in electrical engineering (magnetics) and worked in the wireless and communications design industry for 20+ years. It was during this time that she developed a chronic neck & shoulder problem that eventually got so bad that she could only turn her head about 20 degrees to either side.

The medical doctors only offered to inject it full of Botox but without addressing the root cause, she knew this would not be a long-term solution. She searched everywhere for help and finally walked into an integrative medicine clinic. The practitioner used these tools on her neck and shoulders and after only 4 return visits, she could turn her head to both sides with full range of motion. It was almost as if there had never been a restriction or problem there at all!

So, while still working full-time in engineering, she went back to college and earned the degree and certifications that would allow her to help others with frozen/tight musculoskeletal problems, painful joints or scar tissue.

Integrative Medical Massage is a customized, integrative therapy which focuses on preventive medicine and getting to the root of a problem. Your physician may often prescribe pain or muscle relaxant medications and suggest that some injuries are the result of old age and something that you will just have to live with.

It is not that your doctor does not want to heal you, it is more that their training teaches them to treat symptoms, most often with medications. Since the root cause is not treated, the symptoms may return or develop into a worse medical condition. Medical Massage also works well for accident injuries and with physical therapy treatments. It can release chronically tight tissue, reduce inflammation & improve range of motion.

Medical massage uses stainless steel tools/instruments, cupping (stretch/negative pressure), Rolf Structural Integration and other effective techniques to loosen or release tightness, scar tissue, injured or painful areas and help the body to heal itself.

Medical Massage works at a deep level and varies from light (new accident injury) to deep tissue work (older accident or long term tightness/pain). Preferences and evaluations will be discussed prior to your session. Common areas for treatment include: Neck, shoulders, back (upper/lower), arm, hip, leg, knee, elbow, wrist, and ankle.

Your customized appointment may include a combination of any of the following techniques: Rolf Structural Integration, Tui Na (Acupressure), Medical Cupping, Myofascia Gua Sha or Stephenson's Method.

healing abilities to recognize & resolve problems within the mind and body. Minute doses of a specific substance are given to the patient in order to bring about a safe, effective and gentle solution. “Arnica” is a common homeopathic remedy used today to help injuries heal faster.

Homeopathy is an integrative medicine that works with your doctor’s diagnosis, to encourage the body’s own

Dr. Samuel Christian Frederic Hahnemann, M.D. (1755 –1843), was a famous German medical doctor and the founder of Homeopathy. He was a humanitarian who cared very much for people and their well-being.

He became "fed up" with the invasive and often dangerous medical practices of his time (i.e. blood letting, purging, lobotomy). So he quit his traditional medical practice and began to focus on researching alternative medicine techniques from all over the world, looking for safer, more effective cures for his patients. Out of his extensive research homeopathy was born.

Dr. Hahnemann was called the “Father of Experimental Pharmacology” because he was the first physician to prepare safe medicines in a specialized way; proving their ability to cure diseases on human beings. Many physicians studied under him and he was greatly respected by his peers and the medical community.

Dr. Hahnemann supported the law of cure known as “Similia Similibus Curentur”, or “Like Cures Like”. This means that a remedy that produces symptoms in a healthy person will cure those same symptoms when given to a person in a diseased state.

When a homeopathic substance is ingested, the body senses the molecular structure and searches for a match within the system. When a match is located, the body corrects the problem and brings the system back into balance.

In addition to the symptoms, homeopaths examine aspects of the patient’s physical and psychological state, then homeopathic reference books, known as repertories are consulted and a “remedy” is selected from the Materia Medica, based on the totality of the patient's symptoms and traits.

Thomas Hanna used the term; "somatic education" to describe somatic movement awareness. These movements were created to improve motor control, making it possible to change, previously learned, dysfunctional muscular patterns. Somatic Movement, Facilitated Stretching and

Therapeutic Yoga all require slow, conscious attention during the movement, as it is key to the learning process. We can’t learn something new if we aren't aware of what we are doing. Your focus should be on the internal experience of the movement rather than on the end result, as this is how the nervous system learns new things.

If we practice a movement as if it were the first time we've done it; paying attention to the “quality" of the movement, we will become more aware of where the tight areas and be able to release them more effectively.

Somatic movement, Facilitated stretching and Therapeutic Yoga are all highly effective in improving body function, and recovering from various musculoskeletal conditions and disorders.

The personalized and custom Somatic Movement, Therapeutic Yoga or Facilitated Stretching sessions at RejuVitize are great for athletes, cyclists, runners or anyone who could benefit from a deep, assisted stretch that lengthens tense muscles and tissue.

Regular somatic movement, stretching or therapeutic yoga helps keep the muscles and joints lubricated (esp. the vertebrae); lowering the chance of injury and providing welcomed relief for the client.
