Swedish is the most commenly offered massage and the best known type of massage.
Swedish Massage uses firm yet gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health beneftis.
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.
Neuromuscular therapy is a specific approach to the problem of pain based on sound physiological principles and neurological laws. NMT allows a reversal of the stress-tension-pain cycle.
By utilizing very specific and clinical myofascial and soft tissue manipulations, metabolic wastes are removed from the tissues involved. This allows the tense muscles to relax, thereby causing blood vessels to become less constricted and allowing the circulation to restore oxygen and nutritional supply to the tissues - enabling them to heal themselves. Nerve irritation, in turn, is reduced or eliminated, thereby easing or eliminating any pain.
Each session will consist of a 50 Minute Treament of the specific muscle groups discussed in assessment done prior to treatment followed by an assessment after treatment. Total time for full session will be about 70 minutes.
Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to the feet and hands utilizing specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil, cream or lotion based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change in the body.
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.
