Chiropractic Sycamore IL Rachel Graf Meet The Team

Massage Therapist

Rachel Graf

Rachel Graf graduated from the Kishwaukee Community College Massage Therapy program in 2005. Rachel has extensive experience as well as continuing education in Deep Tissue and Trigger Point Therapy. Other training and experience includes Prenatal, Swedish/Relaxation, and Aromatherapy.

Rachel believes that massage needs to be experienced to fully understand its benefits. Decreased pain, soreness, and stiffness on a day to day basis, as well as Increased Range of Motion or Less Frequent Headaches, are just a few benefits that can only be understood after they happen. Massage may be the key to make that happen for you.

Chiropractic Sycamore IL Michelle Kobel Meet The Team

Massage Therapist

Michelle Kobel

Michelle Kobel graduated from the massage program at Rockford Career College in 2014. She has been massaging patients ever since. She has an excellent range of knowledge in deep tissue, Swedish, myofascial, cupping, hot stone, prenatal, stretching, and more.

She took a 100-hour course in pain management and is trained in applying essential oils during massage. She believes stress and pain should not be tolerated in your everyday life, but addressed in a holistic way. Healing holistically is the best way to achieve results.

Massage can help target trigger points and release stored emotions from stress. Stress and pain are hard to manage alone, but with a team of educated holistic practitioners, you can find relief.

Michelle plans to continue her education in raindrop therapy and other modalities such as shiatsu, reflexology, and bamboo to have a vast range of healing techniques. Michelle is thrilled to be working with the team at Allergies, Aches, and Pains to help you on your healing path!
