Joan Wollschlager, RDH, LMT
After working for 15 years as a Registered Dental Hygienist, Joan Wollschlager expanded her horizons by becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2004. She divides her time between the two professions, serving as a dental hygienist at the University of Iowa’s College of Dentistry and her two massage therapy offices in Shueyville and Cedar Rapids.
As a former headache sufferer, she brings a passion and a very unique perspective to head and neck pain and massage. Joan’s emphasis is to work with chronic headache sufferers by combining classic western-style Swedish, deep tissue and myofacial massage techniques with postural analysis, patient education and behavior modification to achieve long-lasting results for her clients.
Having previously taught a variety of classes on headaches in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas and on ergonomic issues for the dental community, Joan is pleased to bring her expertise to East-West by teaching “Headaches and Head and Neck Specifics.”
