**Tailoring each massage to the client is what I strive to do in every session**
Massage Modalities
SWEDISH MASSAGE- A system of long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints.
THERAPEUTIC DEEP TISSUE- Releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons, and fascia. It is called deep tissue, because it also focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. Deep tissue may be slightly uncomfortable and cause soreness that lasts a couple of days, before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief.
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE- A form of bodywork that is manipulative in nature and seeks to rebalance the body by releasing tension in the fascia, which is connective tissue that surrounds the muscles, bones, and organs of the body. Myofascial release decreases scar tissue by using compression along with slow deep pressure and active and passive movement; without oil or lotion, in the direction of fascial planes. Long, stretching strokes are utilized to release muscular tension.
TRIGGER POINT(also known as Myotherapy or Neuromuscular Therapy)- Applies concentrated finger pressure to "trigger points" (painful irritated areas in muscles) to break cycles of spasm and pain. The result of trigger point massage is the elimination of toxins in the muscles and the release of energizing endorphins. A significant decrease in pain is often found after just one treatment.
PREGNANCY MASSAGE- Only available in the 2nd & 3rd trimester. Pregnancy increases the fluids in a woman's body by nearly 1/3 which can result in swelling and edema. Massage can help promote good circulation and decrease inflammation. Massage also helps alleviate stress on weight bearing joints like hips, low back and feet.
REFLEXOLOGY- Massage based around a system of points in the hands and feet thought to correspond, or "reflex", to all areas of the body. Reflexology has been known to provide relief from ailments such as tension headaches, arthritis, digestive issues, and back pain.
