Massage Therapy

Swedish Massage

One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation by manipulating the soft tissues of the body focusing mainly on the muscles. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.

Deep Tissue / Trigger Point Massage

Techniques that utilize deep-tissue/deep-muscle/trigger point massage are administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. These are therapeutic techniques for the relief and control of pain and dysfunction. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis.   Deep tissue and trigger point massage is often combined with Swedish massage and active or passive stretching for maximum benefit.

Prenatal/Pregnancy Massage

Prenatally, specific techniques can reduce pregnancy discomforts and concerns and enhance the physiological and emotional well-being of both mother and fetus.  In the postpartum period, specialized techniques rebalance structure, physiology, and emotions of the new mother and may help her to bond with and care for her infant. A specialized body cushion system is used to maximize the woman’s comfort throughout her pregnancy.  Referrals from physicians prior to therapy are recommended but not required if no complications are present.

Myofascial Release Treatments

Myofascial Release is the three-dimensional application of sustained pressure and movement into the fascial (connective tissue) system in order to eliminate fascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion and function. Upon locating an area of fascial tension, gentle pressure is applied in the direction of the restriction. Myofascial Release is an effective therapeutic approach in the relief of cervical pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, neurological dysfunction, restriction of motion, chronic pain, and headaches. Each client is viewed as a unique individual as a whole and usually includes posture evaluation. These treatments are done directly on the skin without lotion or oil.
