My massage focuses entirely on the client – to achieve your goals and specific treatment needs. Chair massage sessions are available for those who find it difficult to lie on a massage table. Treatment options fall into two broad categories:
RELAXATION MASSAGE
A multi-modality, full-body table massage incorporating Swedish, deep tissue, and reflexology that promotes relaxation and healing. Perfect if you’re looking to lower your stress level, tone, and recharge your body.
CLINICAL THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Ideal for people looking to focus on and alleviate a specific area(s) of pain or restriction. Whether you’re struggling to overcome effects of injury or trauma, a work-related or other recent or long-term circumstance resulting in pain/discomfort in your body, a customized, clinical therapeutic massage will help improve your condition and overall state of mind.
Therapeutic Massage Modalities
Your therapeutic massage will be custom-tailored to suit your needs. This can may include combining elements from the Relaxation Massage and the Clinical Therapeutic Massage to respond to your individual concerns, health issues, and goals. The primary modalities I employ during my therapy sessions include:
Deep Tissue Massage
The deep tissue massage is relaxing and therapeutic at the same time. It applies deeper pressure along with trigger point therapy and may be combined with Swedish Massage. Deep tissue work is frequently used to treat pain in specific areas, but it also greatly enhances full-body massages.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are small knots in the muscles and the a root source of soft tissue pain. I identify your trigger points and apply appropriate pressure at these locations in ways that dissolve knots and offer pain relief.
Cranial Sacral Therapy
A non-invasive, light touch modality that offers relief throughout the body by releasing restrictions to on your cranialsacral system. The therapy maximizes the body’s own capacities towards realignment of tissue and self-healing. The client lies on the table clothed during this treatment.
Myofascial Release
A firm but gentler technique than deep tissue and trigger point that softens, elongates, and realigns the superficial and deeper layers of fascial tissue wrapping our muscles and restricting their normal, pain-free function.
Pregnancy Massage/Post-Natal Massage
Whether you’re a mom-to-be or you recently gave birth to your child, my specialized pregnancy and post-pregnancy massages help to relieve the physical and other pregnancy-related stresses on your body. I utilize a variety of effective semi-reclining and sidelying techniques during your second and third trimesters that will address your unique condition. Postnatal helps to tone and accelerate return to your pre-pregnancy condition.
