Medical Massage
Medical Massage is a comprehensive method of soft tissue mobilization which consists of connective tissue massage (fascia mobilization), muscular mobilization, trigger point therapy, skin mobilization, and assisted therapeutic stretches.
Medical Massage is one of the most effective and simple tools for reaching sustained results in such disorders as sciatic nerve neuralgia, nerve impingement syndromes, and lower back disorders.
Medical Massage is based on two local and reflex mechanisms. Local Mechanisms include increased arterial circulation, support of venous and lymph drainage pain relief, and the effect of massage on cellular function and metabolism. Reflex Mechanisms can lead to local soft tissue abnormalities as the body's response to chronic or visceral trauma, such as physical trauma (a fall, car accident), chronic physical overload (repetitive and overuse movements) or irritation /compression of the spinal or peripheral nerve responsible for the innervation of the affected area.
Conditions for which Medical Massage has been able to provide relief include:
- Anterior Scalene Muscle Syndrome / Thoracic Outlet
- Rotator Cuff Syndrome / Subacromial Bursitis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Golfer's / Tennis Elbow
- Chronic Cervical Pain / Trapezius and Levator Scapulae Syndromes
- TMJ Dysfunction and Positioning Vertigo
- Chronic Headaches
- Lower Back Pain (Erectors, QL, and Rotators)
- Chronic Middle Back Pain
- Intercostal Nerve Neuropathy
- Osteoarthritis (OA)
- Piriformis Muscle Syndrome / Sciatica
- Soft Tissue Trauma, Leg Compartment Syndrome, and Plantar Fasciitis
Deep Tissue Massage
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.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of 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 in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.
Shiatsu (Acupressure)
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. 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.
Thai Yoga Massage
Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than most other forms of massage therapy. It's also called Thai Yoga massage, because I use my hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches. My clients say Thai massage is like doing yoga without doing any of the work. No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed during the session. A single Thai massage session will help you release stress and relieve pain, and help you function more effectively at work and home.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
