Inner Touch by Iryna Tarasenko

For nearly three decades, I have been helping people overcome pain, tension, and chronic discomfort by combining therapeutic techniques that truly work. My approach is not just about treating symptoms — it’s about understanding the root cause and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.

With a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from the National University of Physical Education and Sport of Ukraine (1995), I’ve built my practice on a strong foundation of medical knowledge, enhanced by continuous learning and experience.

Using a unique blend of massage therapy, osteopathy, kinesitherapy, kinesio taping, nutrition advice, and hypnotherapy, I work holistically to restore balance and function. Whether it’s relieving back and neck pain, improving mobility after injuries, or supporting emotional wellbeing, I know how to help — and I do so with precision, care, and lasting results.

Exercise gives muscles elasticity and strength, tones the body and normalizes metabolism, but after attending a workout, whether you are a professional or an amateur, the tissues of the body gradually accumulate metabolic products and a person may experience discomfort and pain in the soft tissues. There are several types of massage for athletes to make your workouts more effective and your body able to recover quickly within 2 main categories – preparatory and restorative. We need a preparatory massage, as the name implies, in order to adjust our tissues and organs to the load before competition or training. This is a short, shallow and fast-paced, tonic massage. It warms tissues well, improves blood circulation and prevents injury, whereas restorative is performed slowly, deeply and for longer. Its purpose is to relax muscles, tendons and fascia. It also removes metabolic products, enables tissues to recover and balances muscle belts.In general, massage improves tissue oxygen saturation, improves the conduction of nerve processes in muscles, reduces or stops the process of fibrosis in microtrauma, relieves pain, and improves the performance of athletes.
