The initial session begins with a free assessment before the RMT treatment. The assessment includes an evaluation of muscle weakness, spasms and stress, posture and gait and the determination of limitations in mobility and circulation. The goal is to raise the client’s awareness of his/her challenges with posture and gait and offer insights into the root-causes of the particular physical difficulties he/she may be experiencing.
Based on the findings of the assessment, Wiep will recommend a course of massage treatments depending on the severity of the problem. Included in the treatment is a personalized step-by-step wellness program, that is formulated with the client. This program is geared toward better stress and pain management practices, enhanced body awareness and health instructions that include changes in life-style and nutrition, as well as do-it-yourself-at-home healing approaches that accelerate healing.
The step-by-step wellness program may also include additional modes of healing such as: Reflexology, Ear Coning, Herbs, Compresses and Poultices, Healing Baths, Q Detox Baths, General Nutritional and Body Cleansing Guidelines. Clients who wish to more deeply explore underlying issues that may be present at the root of their health challenges, can request a special Family Constellation session with Wiep. This particular type of healing modality was developed by Bert Hellinger. www.hellinger.com
Those who are already receiving medical treatment can also benefit from Wiep's RMT, as clients can experience a faster recovery and rehabilitation process. Correspondingly, when a health issue requires it, Wiep's massage clients will be offered a referral from an extensive, established network of medical practitioners and holistic healthcare providers who welcome collaborative care.
Reconstructive Muscle Therapy is a specialized fingertip massage technique, that combined with Wiep’s recommended self-care practices, brings about a more rapid and profound healing response. Many clients, having recovered from illness or trauma, continue with a regular schedule of RMT sessions as part of their health maintenance and injury prevention regime.
Wiep has also been able to assist clients who are physically challenged, avoid the extensive use of costly pain medication and in some cases invasive surgical procedures

It is most rewarding when the client can actually avoid surgery, as the muscles regain normal balance and strength due to the application of my technique. Significantly, I have found is that clients report that they are far less dependent on the use of pharmaceuticals. Please review the Testimonial Section about my clients' experience of my work.
Wiep Loves Challenges
“Sick muscle impacts the nervous, circulatory, skeletal, and neuro- endrocrine systems.”
– Thomas Griner
Muscles that are in spasm will be painful to the touch. The pain is caused by ischemic muscle tissue. Ischemia means the muscle is lacking proper blood flow, usually due to the muscle spasm.
This in turn creates the following undesirable process:
• Because the muscle is not receiving enough blood, the muscle is also not receiving enough oxygen
• The lack of oxygen causes the muscle to produce lactic acid and other metabolic waste products
• The lactic acid makes the muscle feel sore and weak following physical activity.
• The accumulation of waste products in the muscle causes over-contraction.
• Chronic over-contraction causes hardening of muscles. The pain that follows is due to the nerve entrapment and the irritation of adjacent tissues caused by the hardened state of the muscle.
• This tissue and nerve irritation make the body excrete endorphins – the body’s natural pain killers – so that the level of sensitivity is lowered in the body. This means that the irritation and breakdown in tissues can worsen, while the pain level stays tolerable.
Many of the symptoms that we may experience, like skeletal, circulatory, nerve, or inflammatory distress usually begin with hypertonic muscle spasm, a condition caused by the interruption of nerve feedback loops between muscle and brain. The brain receives a weakened signal from an over-contracted muscle and will in turn, send a message for the muscle to contract more strongly. Finally, muscles will be unable to fully relax.
What Happens When We Have Muscle Pain?
What is Reconstructive Muscle Therapy?
Muscle Health’s practice with both adults and children is focused on reducing the level of pain, improving the range of mobility and enhancing circulation and oxygenation.
The Reconstructive Muscle Therapy technique is based upon the revolutionary and insightful book by Thomas Griner: "What’s Really Wrong with You? A Revolutionary Look At How Muscles Affect Your Health" (Penguin/Putnam.) His teachings have greatly influenced Wiep’s entire approach to the issues one can have with posture, injuries, pain and general health challenges.
This remarkable soft tissue technique consists of a cross-fiber fingertip massage technique in combination with the application of Griner's percussor tool, called the Biopulser (www.biopulser.com).
Years of muscle research and myotherapy have led Dr. Thomas Griner to establish this technique and the BioPulser. The BioPulser works by producing a pulsing action instead of a vibration. The percussor stimulation reaches deep into the muscle tissue to restore healthy muscle tone and nerve function. The stimulation provided is fully absorbed and assimilated by the nervous system. It is a comfortable and effective treatment.
Wiep identifies and rectifies the primary problem and underlying dysfunction first, in order to re-establish an immediate reduction of pain. After the main muscles, that are at the root of the pain pattern are released and relaxed through Wiep's therapy, lactic acid and other metabolic waste products will start to drain from the muscles. Now blood flow and oxygen levels will gradually normalize. The technique also re-establishes healthy communication between the muscle and the brain by normalizing the level of sensitivity in the nerve feedback loop from the muscle to the cerebellum. Then a deeper level of healing can be re-established and the body will self-correct the existing pattern of hypertonic muscle spasms.
This action of breaking up and eliminating toxic build up from the muscles (detoxifying) can be a bit painful at times, but definitively affects the entire body by boosting the immune system. The work will eventually increase tissue sensitivity and lessen the irritation and after the first one to three treatments the client may feel tenderness at localized spots for a couple of days after the treatment. After this initial phase, the treatment brings clients into increasingly deeper levels of relaxation and healing.
Wiep’s treatment, along with the muscular system, the skin, circulatory, skeletal, nervous, digestive, respiratory and excretory systems of the body are being stimulated and their functions enhanced. In Wiep’s work the lympathic system is greatly activated as well, and any prior swelling and tissue congestion usually dissipates.
This particular type of massage offers rapid relief from back ache, headache, vertigo, TMJ, sinus pain, stiff neck, thyroid conditions with lymphatic congestion, shoulder tension, tennis elbow, sore knees, hip pain, poor circulation, muscle weakness, fibromyalgia, post- surgery adhesions, cellulite, sports strains, cramps and PMS, allergies, asthma and many other conditions!
Reconstructive Muscle Therapy has frequently proven to be a profound alternative to pain killers and even surgery. Many cosmetic challenges can also be successfully treated with this non-invasive approach.
Reconstructive Muscle Therapy is an extraordinary healing technique, that when applied in combination with customized complimentary healthcare approaches, can offer clients the keys to optimal health.

Reconstructive Massage Therapy Sessions
Individual sessions are customized to the particular health concerns of the client.
The sessions are geared toward restoring muscular and lymphatic function, nerve activity, and mobility. The specialized fingertip technique offers rapid results and a deeper kind of healing, as underlying patterns of hypertonic muscles are directly being addressed.
Herbal Remedies & Herbal Compresses and Baths
Using herbal remedies, local compresses or therapeutic baths can greatly aid the overall circulation and stimulate detoxification and elimination. Taking into consideration that many health challenges come from stress and exhaustion, an herbal approach can also make a significant difference in calming the nervous system. Safe and easy to use recipes and instructions are made available by Wiep upon request.
Detox Foot Baths with the Q-2 Energy Spa Machine
A very important part of healing is detoxification. Most people who continue to have a lot of stress, fatigue or pain, may be extremely toxic from chemicals, additives, preservatives, heavy metals and parasites that reside the body. In order to achieve a higher level of health clients can benefit from a series of Q-2 Foot Baths. Benefits of the bath include cleansing and regeneration, stress reduction, energy enhancement, heightened awareness, emotional balancing, and in general, a more peaceful feeling.
General Nutritional Advice
Nutrition is fast becoming the medicine of the future with its many applications and relevance to health. Over a period of time, the improvements in daily food intake, create considerable enhancements in metabolic function, blood chemistry, the availability of energy and the quality of mental functions.
Wiep educates her clients, explaining how underlying food-sensitivities, a chronic state of dehydration, or an unbalanced blood sugar level, may perpetuate a general sense of malaise and exhaustion. In such a state the body is less likely to balance itself out and aches, pains and nerve irritation are much more likely to persist.
Approaching eating from a whole food philosophy, upgrading food choices and ‘cleaning up’ dietary habits, allows the provision of the extra life force needed to set the self-cleansing mechanism of the body in motion. Wiep provides relevant educational materials through this website and directly to her clients.
Family Constellation Work
The fundamental idea that the family is an interactive unit affected by past generations and operating by a set of unifying principles, which include the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The deeper causes of a person's health challenges can often be linked back to family dynamics in the direct family of origin. Finding a direction for healing through this unique work, can be very constructive in terms of the interpersonal resolution a person has around getting well.
Understanding what is happening at the moment, in the more full and complete context of the family of origin, helps to clarify what separates and what reunites. The deep bond with members of the family may have been interrupted or damaged. Renewing this sense of connection often allows for deeper healing that gives a profound feeling of wellness in the heart.
