Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion within massage strokes to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved tissue appearance, and greater flexibility.
Active Isolated Stretching
Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a dynamic system to improve your flexibility and overall well-being. Stretching your muscles reduces your chance of injury, strengthens your tendons and improves your circulation.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing specific places in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension that when treated relax the whole muscle. These areas build up throughout a person's lifetime due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied these points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
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.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically flush excess body fluid in the body by relieving the pressure and pain it swelling causes enhancing the process of elimination. Eliminating extra fluids more effectively will induce faster recovery from injury and surgery, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy and other inflammatory conditions, and strengthening our resistance to illness.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release focused in eliminating pain, increasing range of motion, and rebalancing the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release adhesions. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal body structure.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular therapy it uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic massage therapy focuses on treating painful conditions that affect the soft body tissues. It's designed to treat medical conditions. It involves releasing tense muscles, helping to stretch and lengthen tight muscles and tendons, decompressing rigid joints restoring full health to soft tissues of the body by treating your specific conditions and improving your overall well-being.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is designed specifically for pregnant women. During pregnancy a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy and the benefits of massage are overall profound like emotional balance, relief of joint pain due to extra weight improving postural imbalance, improved breathing and relaxation.
Pressure Point Therapy
Your body stores stress in specific areas called pressure points. Pressure points are small painful pockets of energy that are located along a nerve pathway in your body. These pressure points actually block the nerve energy from flowing through your body, causing a variety of discomforts and illnesses. In our session, I apply pressure to these specific points and dissolve them, releasing any blockages and restoring your nerve pathways to optimal health and function.
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.
Rolfing
Rolfing is a scientifically validated system of restructuring the human body. It releases the body from life-long patterns of tension, and allows gravity to naturally realign your movements for optimum health and well-being. This deep and somewhat painful therapy is highly effective for improving posture, reducing or eliminating chronic pain, and releasing long-term emotional and mental stress.
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.
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.
