Tia received her Massage Therapy Certification in February 2008 from Everest College in Fife. After school she was fortunate to secure a position at a local Physical Therapy Clinic in Bonney Lake enabling her to increase her treatment skillset dramatically. During her 7 years at the PT clinic she worked along side skilled Physical and Rehab Therapists and received invaluable education on working with Post Surgery and Chronic Pain. Establishing Treatment Plans for Joint Replacements, Shoulder Surgeries, and Whiplash Injuries is a profound passion for her. Using modalities like Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Guasha, Cupping, PNF, Lymphatic Drainage, and Passive Stretching, Tia excels at any injury which finds it’s way onto her table. She can be a deeper Practitioner and utilizes good forearm and elbow strength. Tia is excited to expand her Massage Training by taking the series of classes to become certified in Craniosacral Therapy in the near future. #MassageTherapy #MassageTherapist #MassageGiftCertificates #PuyallupMassage #DaySpaPuyallup #MassageTherapyPuyallup #MassageTacoma #MassageTherapyTacoma #FlotationTherapy #FloatTankPuyallup https://www.unlockingthebody.com/our-staff/tia-l-sheppard-lmt/
