Deep Tissue Massage (DT)

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 ensure that you are comfortable. Keep in mind that soreness can be common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Myofascial Release (MFR)

Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and re-balance the entire body. This is achieved 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. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.

Head, Neck and Shoulders

This is a treatment for those who only want those areas targeted. 30 minutes just to the head, neck, and shoulders for increasing flexibility, easing tension, and helping to relieve headaches. This treatment also helps those new to massage ease into it slowly and comfortably.

Back Specific

Have you ever asked a therapist to work extra on a specific area of your body, only to leave and feel that it was like every other massage? I treat specific areas daily, focusing on the area you need most. This massage is tailored specifically for those who only want their back treated. A blend of modalities, usually MFR, DT, and NMT, chosen by me to best address your needs. Many times, other areas may need to be addressed, but this treatment serves as a good starting point.

Specific

Ever want a massage to a specific area of the body? I do that! For example, I do specific work to fore-arms and hands for those who keyboard or use their hands all day. I specifically treat feet and calves for runners. I specifically treat the back, neck, or shoulders. If you have an area needing specialized treatment, let's talk about it!

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotions with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help improve 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. This is a great modality for a full-body relaxing massage.

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.

Body Balancing

Do you ever look or feel unbalanced?  Is a shoulder too high, or your head too far forward?  Body Balancing is a unique technique that brings together fascia, muscles, flexibility and awareness to help you look and feel balanced and better. Body Balancing incorporates LDT, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue and Strain Counter-Strain.  

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes.

The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
