"I'm a purpose driven person. Through her treatment, Therese helped me achieve a goal--my body feels more flexible and responsive to exercise than it has in years! Therese eases the muscles into re-alignment and re-energizes them. Her methods are unique and not found in any other form."

About Massage Movement LLC & Therese Rog
Therese M Rog has been practicing her unique, dynamic system of massage therapy and bodywork, Progressive Response Massage Therapy, for over 30 years at her present location in downtown Barrington. She is Board Certified and a current member of the American Massage Therapy Association.
A Chicago native, Ms. Rog apprenticed with Raymond Moser and earned Specialist in Myo-Fibril Technique. From that foundational technique she developed Progressive Response Massage Therapy as a veritable system of massage therapy and bodywork which directly addresses the elasticity of muscle and the capacity to attain a muscular range of motion while releasing postural holds that hinder flexibility. PRMT coaxes the body into a desired new feeling state, utilizing the body's innate ability to sense so that one is in the receptive mode.
We are either sensing or tensing! As a plastic medium, the muscles lend themselves to movement in the direction nature intended so that postural holds and the nagging sensations that accompany them are released. PRMT focuses on the individual's bodily relationships, especially between muscle and bone, and sensation and tension. Capable, intuitive touch and movement enlist the sense of self to reawaken and evoke one's bodily responses more in line with freer movement and comfortable states of lightness, ease, and spontaneity. Therese works with people from all walks of life, all of whom enjoy a myriad of creative and physical activities, and come to her to address different conditions and issues.
So while no two people are alike, she finds her most dedicated clients to be proactive in taking responsibility for their health; patient in their understanding of massage as a process; persistent in receiving a regular massage; and practical in accepting that what was once difficult becomes less so and more manageable with practice.
