MASSAGE THERAPIES
INTEGRATED MASSAGE THERAPIES
Each massage I offer integrates several modalities of massage that I customize to the needs and sensitivities of my clients. Along with the classical training of a certified massage therapist, I integrate the following therapies into my practice.
Deep Tissue
This is slower, deeper work incorporating elbows and forearms. The deep tissue technique targets the deeper layers of the muscle to release tension throughout the body. This type of work is very stimulating and may leave you sore for a couple of days.
NEUROMUSCULAR THERAPY
NMT is targeted trigger point work designed to identify and resolve soft tissue problems at the source. Through the utilization of NMT techniques I am able to release trigger points and remove problematic muscle tension. This technique can help with common issues like migraines, lower back pain, sciatica and various shoulder issues.
Myofascial Cupping
Also known as decompression cupping, cupping utilizes silicone suction cups to create negative pressure (suction) on a particular area of the body to increase blood flow and release myofascial (connective tissue) restrictions. This technique is great for treating IT band issues, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel and can improve overall flexibility and range of motion.
PRE/postNATAL MASSAGE
This massage is for expecting mothers or those who have given birth in the last year. This massage targets all of the common body aches associated with pregnancy, including low back pain, sciatica, swelling in the limbs, headaches, and tension in the neck and shoulders. I use extra care to avoid contraindicated areas and pillows for proper side-positioning in later term pregnancy. If you have already given birth, this massage can help bring your body back into alignment and aid in emotional wellness as you settle into life with your new little one to care for.
