Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with various strokes, such as rolling, kneading, and percussion, to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Sports Massage is a massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to short- and long-term injuries. 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.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue. 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 you don't get too uncomfortable. Soreness is pretty joint after the treatment, and plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removing toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing “trigger points” in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the body's energy pathways. These “knots” are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through various techniques to release your trigger points. This process can be painful, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
Movement education uses a custom-tailored approach to improving body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably strengthens the connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people.
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair, which I will 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 of disrobing from a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
