Meet the Durden Chiropractic Clinic Team

Massage Therapy

Kathy Lewallen, LMT, CMT

My experience has primarily been in clinical settings, helping patients with a variety of individual complaints and issues, from physical stress and tension, chronic discomfort from repetitive actions and habits, migraines and allergies, to depression and emotional trauma.  I offer an integration of modalities, including:

• deep tissue
• craniosacral therapy
• trigger point
• neuromuscular
• foot, hand, and ear reflexology

 I came into the profession of massage therapy after years of working as a pastry chef and in other capacities in the restaurant world.  I had been, for years, somewhat lacking in ambition and wondering if I would ever find that sort of passion in my work that I saw in others.  Up until my training, I had only had a few sessions of shiatsu (acupressure) and one of two massages and didn't realize or fully appreciate the tremendous benefits of massage therapy.  When I began my education and training, I found a place I didn't know I was looking for, and a passion that I'd never before experienced.  It completely changed my way of thinking and living and has given me an awareness of myself, both physically and emotionally, that had been missing. 

I feel it is important to provide a session that is calming and flows throughout, because I believe that relaxation is essential in reducing pain and stress.  I also believe our bodies become accustomed and acclimated to our way of living, and that often we don't realize the full extent of our discomfort until we've found relief.

In May of this year I moved to Georgia.  With the exception of a year or two in Austin, Texas and the same in Savannah, Georgia, most of my time has been in Lexington, Kentucky. 

 I hope, as a therapist, to provide you with my knowledge and skills as a trained professional, and hold that space in each session with compassion and intention, helping the body to heal itself.
