Faith Schwartz
Licensed Massage Therapist
Hi, I'm Faith Schwartz, Licensed Massage Therapist since 2004, specializing in movement rehabilitation. I have a strong background with all age groups and conditions, including infants, seniors and athletes.
In my sessions I use deep tissue, Swedish, myo-fascial release, prenatal, stretch, lymphatic customized to your needs and preferences.
In my 22 years of practice, I've worked with clients recovering from injury and surgery, employees staying ahead of injuries, and those wanting to maintain wellbeing.
I have been trained in therapeutic, medical, geriatric, infant and hospice massage and was a licensed practical nurse, all which inform me in your assessment and planning.
My aim is to guide people in maintaining their maximum health.
I moved to Bismarck from NY to help with 3 small grandchildren which brings me great joy.

Prenatal massage
Massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Prenatal massage aims to relax muscle tension and improve lymphatic and blood circulation through mild pressure applied to the muscle groups of the body.
-
Deep tissue
This type of massage is intended to relieve pain and muscle tension throughout the body by massaging the deepest layer of muscle and fascia. The method behind this is to breakdown adhesions in the muscle. Adhesions are tense areas that cause pain, inflammation and limited range of motion.

Cupping and Hot Stones
This technique is to promote health and healing by: loosening soft tissue and connective tissue, scarring and adhesions moving stagnation and increasing lymphatic flow and circulation. This therapy utilizes silicone or plastic cups and a vacuum pistol to create suction on the body surface. These cups are moved over the skin using gliding, shaking, popping and rotating techniques.
