Myofascial release is my passion!
What I Offer
Massage Therapy with Myofascial Release
When we get injured, have inflammation, or undergo surgery, it can create restrictions in the body’s tissues. These restrictions can put a lot of pressure on sensitive structures that can cause pain. Standard tests like X-rays, CAT scans, or electromyography may not detect these restrictions. Myofascial Release therapy is a hands-on treatment that uses different techniques and movements to address these restrictions. Colleen works one-on-one with patients to develop a unique treatment plan. She provides education on how to move the body correctly, treat oneself, and increase strength, flexibility, and awareness.
Colleen is trained by John F. Barnes, PT. He has been treating patients since 1960 and has treated patients from around the world. John F. Barnes began developing his Myofascial Release Approach® and teaching seminars in the 1970s. He has trained over 100,000 therapists and physicians in his highly successful Myofascial Release Approach®.
Equine Myofascial Release
Equine MFR specializes in myofascial release for horses, improving fitness, alignment, and overall wellness. Fascia, a three-dimensional web surrounding muscles and organs, can tighten from trauma or training, causing pain and restrictions. Myofascial Release uses gentle pressure to address fascial restrictions, different from massage or chiropractic manipulation, helping with pain relief and motion restoration.
About Colleen
I’ve been living in Wyoming for 38 years, and it’s my longest stay anywhere. I fell in love with Cody at first sight and decided to make it my home. As a single parent, I raised my children before marrying my husband, who had school-aged children of his own. Together, we now have four grandchildren whom we adore.
I am grateful that my career allows me the flexibility to be able to be a part of my grandchildren’s life. My family and I enjoy traveling. We decided a long time ago that we would rather take trips than buy gifts all year long. Making memories last longer than items. You can’t buy time. I realized how important it became to my kids when they still talk about their favorite trips. They also want to plan trips with their children.
Ultimately we will all go on a trip. We enjoy playing games, even the younger ones. As a family, we had game nights. We look forward to our time together. I realize that as we grow older our interests change. Like when we were younger some of our games were outdoors. Now that we have younger ones we have adapted to what the group can do.
About Massage By Colleen Andretti
I have been a massage therapist since 2008. I provide services in Cody, Wyoming. Through my years of practice, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience which I use to make a positive impact on the lives of my clients.
To enhance my skills, I prioritize continuing education by enrolling in classes to deepen my understanding of the latest techniques and trends. My approach to massage therapy has been greatly influenced by my mentor, John F. Barnes, who is a highly skilled physical therapist and massage therapist. With his expert guidance, I have been able to incorporate a physical therapy touch into my massages. This has helped me become more of a muscle therapist than a regular massage therapist.
I take pride in my ability to identify and target specific muscle groups to help my clients feel better and more relaxed after each session. I believe in the power of massage therapy to promote physical and mental wellness. That’s why I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and therapeutic environment for my clients to relax, rejuvenate, and heal.
