Swedish Massage
Swedish
Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils
or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to
help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork
are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress
levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater
flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep
Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper
layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method
for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and
past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open
communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable.
Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that
plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of
toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot
Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific
sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your
muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress
much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall
experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial
release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase
range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage
techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the
fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and
covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct
myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release
applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for
increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic
massage is a style of massage therapy focused on treating painful conditions
that affect the soft tissues of the body. Because orthopedic massage is
designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. It
involves releasing tense muscles, helping to stretch and lengthen tight muscles
and tendons, and decompress rigid joints. My goal is to restore full health to
the soft tissues of your body, both treating your specific conditions as well
as improving your overall well-being.
Reflexology
Reflexology
is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve
zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve
tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that
aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the
human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to
be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and
depression.
Sports Massage
Sports
Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in
athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to
injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance
and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and
swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically
improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the
rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic
awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger
Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing
"trigger points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of
tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the
muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These
"knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical,
mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied
through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This
process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and
profoundly transformative.
Thai Massage**
Thai
massage is more energizing and rigorous than most other forms of massage
therapy. It's also called Thai Yoga massage, because I use my hands, knees,
legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches.
My clients say Thai massage is like doing yoga without doing any of the work.
No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed during the session. A single Thai
massage session will help you release stress and relieve pain, and help you
function more effectively at work and home.
Chair Massage
Chair
massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in
your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair
which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of
massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing.
With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may
feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are
usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit
into your busy schedule.
