Caruso Chiropractic Massage Therapists

Carrie Hadden, MT

Carrie Hadden lives in Oxford with her husband, Jeff and sons, Joel and Ross.  She has been a patient of Dr. Sam’s for more than 14 years.  She also has two sisters who are chiropractors, Dr. Cathie Padden and Dr. Sandy Stanton, who have practices on the west side of the state.

Carrie began working for Caruso Chiropractic in May of 2005.  She graduated from the Health Enrichment Institute in August of 2003 after completing the therapeutic massage technician program which included clinical hours at the Veterans Hospital in Detroit, the student clinic at HEI and sports massage for the Detroit Lions.  She also received her Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Central Michigan University and worked in human resources for over 8 years.

Carrie recognizes the benefits that massage provides for the chiropractic patient and tailors each visit to the individual situation.  Manipulating the connective tissue and releasing tight muscles provide for a much easier spinal adjustment.

In Carrie’s spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, music and boating!

Carrie’s techniques:  General Swedish techniques including muscle energy techniques, deep tissue, joint range of motion, and reflexology.

 

Cynthia Hartman-Brock, MT

Cynthia graduated from Health Enrichment Center, Inc. in the year of 2004.  She successfully completed 660 hours of instruction incorporating therapeutic massage, sports massage, reflexology, myofascial release, passive and active exercise, acupressure, anatomy and physiology, and communication and caring. 

Cynthia is a member of ABMP (Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals).

Cynthia has been working with Dr. Caruso and Dr. Badaoui since December of 2005.  She specializes in Deep Tissue Massage.

Cynthia feels that massage is often helpful before a spinal adjustment by relieving tension and warming the soft tissue, making joints more pliable and easier to adjust.
