In
one form or another I have been in the medical profession all of my life, beginning
with:
Western Catheter - involved with manufacturing and distribution
of heart catheter needles.
Stim Tech - were transcutaneous muscle and nerve stimulators, now
called TENS Units. Involved teaching patients how to use attached electrodes on
different neural pathways to alleviate pain and how to operate the unit.
Seven years of college - was focused on becoming a Physical Therapist.
Six years of working with Physical Therapists at three different
hospitals resulting in approximately 3000 hours of experience.
I took time to raise a family and changed focus from Physical Therapy to Certified
Massage Therapist.
Education continued at Colorado School of Healing Arts to become
a Certified Massage Therapist which included:
- 700 hour certification program
- Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS) program with focus on
medical modalities which included certifications of:
* Lymphatic Drainage Massage
* Craniosacral Therapy
* Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy
Philosophy
My philosophy about massage is to make you as comfortable as possible while reducing
your pain. I believe it is wrong and unnecessary to increase your pain levels in
order to achieve the goal of healing. I have found that it is necessary to work
through the layers of skin, fascia, and muscle with a gentle but firm pressure to
allow your body the freedom to heal properly. I'm in the business of retraining
your muscles to return to a healthy state.

"I was referred by a massage therapist and friend to Anita Prevo. Anita took
the time to talk to me about my spinal cord injury and had a very knowledgeable
and compassionate approach. She has decreased my pain and reminds me that consistent
massage is vital to my well-being and healing. I trust her inside my home and she
is always patient and attentive. She is highly professional and has helped me understand
massage on a whole new level. Thanks Anita!"
Nichole C., Highlands Ranch, CO
"My name is Jim and I am a patient
of Anita Prevo, Certified Massage Therapist, and CMT Services. I had many injuries
from a very bad fall. I have had three surgeries and many months of rehab. The constant
shooting pain and stiffness in my neck and back was intolerable. Anita was referred
to me by one of the best neurosurgeons in Colorado. My doctor was confident that
Anita could help me through a process referred to as "deep tissue rehabilitation
and therapy." Her skill has been very important to my healing process. She
has helped reduce my neck and back pain a minimum of 65%. She is a professional
that knows what is causing the pain and has the skill to do something about it.
It is a pleasure to have Anita on my team."
Jim G., Castle Rock, CO
