MASSAGE
Modalities include:
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most popular type of massage in the western world, invented by a Swedish fencing instructor who reportedly cured his own elbow injuries by using tapping strokes around the affected area. Benefits of modern Swedish massage include increased blood circulation, mental and physical relaxation, decreased stress and muscle tension, and improved range of motion.
Deep Tissue Massage
Focusing on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue, deep tissue massage is wonderful for chronic soreness, stiffness and tightness. While siilar to a classic Swedish massage, the pressure is deeper and more concentrated.
Neuromuscular and Trigger Point Therapy
A form of deep tissue massage, neuromuscular therapy uses digital pressure and friction to release areas of strain (known as trigger points) in the muscle.
Chinese Cupping
Cupping involves placing glass jars on the skin creating a vacuum by suctioning out the air. I use the ancient form with fire. The purpose is to enhance circulation, help relieve pain, remove “heat” and pull out the toxins. It is not painful, but sometimes can leave circles on the area treated from the cups.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is used to treat a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity and tightness in your myofascial tissues. These tissues surround and support the muscles throughout your body.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage (prenatal) massage can go a long way to help expectant mothers feel well. In addition to promoting relaxation, regular massages while pregnant can help soothe sore muscles and strain from extra weight.
On your first visit, I will do a movement and range of motion analysis, postural assessment and a thorough examination of the history of your ailment.
Typically, a session will last 60 to 90 minutes and will involve a combination of modalities. An emphasis will be placed on stretching and strengthening suggestions to reach your desired outcome of muscular balance.
Conditions treated effectively are whiplash, TMJ dysfunction, headaches, thoracic outlet syndrome, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel, low back pain, sciatica, and plantar fasciitis, to name a few.
