Pain Relief Therapies

Meet the “Pain Relief Therapies “, team, Steve and Karen Howeth. Steve and Karen have been married for twenty seven years and have three grown children of which two are married, one beautiful grandson and one on the way. Being self employed for almost as many years as they have been married and always working as a unified team.

Steve and Karen have a vast array of life experience from the restaurant business, construction business and now pride themselves as body workers to better serve others.

The couple lived in Montana for many years raising their family near Bozeman and Helena. Embarking on a career change path led them to Prescott Arizona where they attended Northern Arizona Massage Therapy Institute which led to the transfer to prestigious school of Cortiva Institute in Tucson Arizona.

Graduates of the one thousand hour program of Cortiva Institute put them above and beyond all requirements of the United States as manual therapist. Both are LMT’s licensed in two states, Arizona and Texas, nationally accredited with the NCTMB and CKTP’s, certified kinesio tape practitioners.

The P.R.T. team feels that it is important to seek out every opportunity for continuing education courses to further their knowledge and understanding of an ever changing manual therapy field.

The P.R.T. team is highly trained in injury recovery, having worked with instructors and clients in a clinic setting for several months at a time having to document change, creating case studies of research and chronic conditions. A special population’s clinic was a requirement as well working with conditions such as cerebral palsy, fibromyalgia, TMJD (temporal mandibular joint disorder), whiplash, migraines, spondylosis, sponylosathesis, and various other disorders.

Pain Relief Therapies team were also very privileged to work with Olympians such as five time gold medalist high diver Greg Luganis and very blessed to have worked with the upcoming 2012 dive competition Olympians at the U.S. Nationals and the World National Junior Olympic Dive Trials. Through training and knowledge the P.R.T. team aid in athletic sports massage and prevention to help athletes maintain top quality function in their training.

The P.R.T. team pride themselves on making change in others by providing adequate and advanced body work manual therapies. Many of P.R.T’s modalities include but are not limited to; kinesio taping, injury recovery, chronic holding patterns, TMJD, migraines, myoskeletal alignment, myofacial release – broad plane myo, muscle energy techniques, strain and counter strain, trigger point therapy, deep tissue, and relaxation to evoke the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest system).

As manual massage therapist, the P.R.T team does not diagnose or treat pain directly; we are trained to bring balance back to the myoskeletal system, bringing restoration to the body as a whole.
