SWEDISH
MASSAGE
Swedish massage helps promote deep relaxation and can
be a very effective stress reliever. It also increases
oxygen in the blood and improves circulation helping stimulate
metabolic wastes such as lactic and uric acids so they
may be eliminated more expeditiously from the body. Hydrating
well before and after a massage is advisable to aid in
your body's cleansing process. Effleurage (long, gliding
strokes) and Petrissage (kneading the tissue) are some
of the commonly used techniques in this massage session.
Any degree of firmness may be requested.

DEEP TISSUE
MASSAGE
The deep tissue massage is a firmer alternative to the Swedish.
Myofascial trigger point release, neuromuscular therapy (NMT)
and acupressure are some of the techniques most commonly used
to release muscles in clients who prefer a deeper approach.
Client consultation and evaluation is standard procedure prior
to a deep tissue massage session to better understand the clients
massage history and ability to benefit from the targeted application
of deep tissue massage.
A Word about Deep Tissue Massage:
While a deeper approach may be required for some body types,
an experienced massage therapist will discover the appropriate
pressure to apply to a muscle so that it may be released and
restored to its healthy state. Each body is unique and will
be evaluated on a case by case basis.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Golf, tennis and other sports enthusiasts will benefit from
the sports oriented techniques and active isolated stretching
administered during this massage session. Sports massage focuses
on the muscle groups associated with a specific sport and targets
the overused muscles of each. Stretching will be administered
at the clients request following an assessment of the client's
physical condition.
THERAPEUTIC REHABILITATION / ORTHEPEDIC and MEDICAL MASSAGE
This treatment is most beneficial for those who have experienced
and are recovering from an injury. A deliberate approach is
used during each session targeting specific muscles and muscle
groups. Tennis and golfers elbow (lateral and medial epicondylitis),
muscle related pathologies of the shoulders and neck, limited
range of motion due to muscular stress related issues, pre and
post surgical treatment (medical referral required), accidents,
and repetitive use syndromes which can be sport or work related
causing overcompensation of antagonistic muscles, are some of
the causes for clients seeking this treatment. Evaluation and
assessment of the client's current condition and medical history
is customary before treatment. Multiple, shorter sessions (up
to 30 minutes) are recommended and carefully monitored during
the course of treatment.
FIBROMYALGIA THERAPY
It is estimated that between 3 and 6 million people in this
country suffer from chronic Fibromyalgia (Fibro-fibrous tissue;
my-in muscles; algia-pain). Massage and myofascial trigger point
release have proven to be effective in relieving pain associated
with Fibromyalgia. Specific trigger points are addressed during
this session which is helpful in relieving the symptoms and
'flare-ups' of Fibromyalgia.
