JC Carter, BCTMB, FMT I,II

JC is a National Board Certified Massage Therapist, a CrossFit Level 1 Coach, and dog lover. JC graduated from Utah Valley University with a BS in Behavioral Science, then received her Diploma from the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2004. JC is an MWOD 102 Coach on the MWOD Pro List, and is certified in many rehabilitation techniques.

As a Body Worker who employs a different approach to manual soft tissue therapy, JC has created a modality all her own. Functional Muscle Rehabilitation, FMR Therapy, is JC’s answer to creating an environment of healing and education for her clientele. Combining principles from her knowledge in Structural Integration, Russian Sports Massage, Sports Injury Rehabilitation, Functional Movement Screening, Neuromuscular Re-education techniques, Kinesiology Taping, IASTM, and MWOD teachings, JC has shifted the discussion from “getting a treatment” to “getting results”.

An FMR session with JC includes not only hands on soft tissue work, but assessment of dysfunctional movement patterns, recognition of mobility restrictions and stability limitations, and clear, precise guidelines toward making better decisions to help free your body from pain. Dog snuggling is also available at no extra charge 😉
