Neuromuscular Therapy
Do you have chronic pain, over used muscles, painful holding patterns, or repetitive movements at work or in sports?
Neuromuscular therapy is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
Deep Tissue Massage
Are you in need of relief from painful, tense, or stressed muscles?
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 you should drink plenty of water.
Trigger Point Therapy
Do you feel "knots" in your back or shoulders?
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating \"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 energy pathways of the body. These \"knots\" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques. This process can be painful at times, yet the effects are lasting.
Myofascial Release
Are you holding tension?
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this 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. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia.
Customized Massage
Every massage is customized to your needs. Any massage can include a combination of techniques listed above to relieve pain and/or tension, and evoke a relaxed nervous system response. Your preferences can be discussed upon arrival for your appointment and if any questions need to be answered in the meantime, feel free to call or email.
