Modalities
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots (muscular adhesion) and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time.
Swedish
The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle tension, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body.
Hot Stone
I use hot stones in conjunction with other modalities to help keep your muscles pliable and relaxed. They are used in almost every session to enhance your experience.
Cupping
I use silicone cups to help increase circulation to a particular area and to help bolster and relieve a fascial and muscular restrictions.
Neuro-Muscular Massage
Neuromuscular Therapy is a highly-specialized form of manual therapy that corrects pain and dysfunction by treating trigger points, muscle adhesions, and fascial (connective tissue) patterns.
Mixed Modalities
I typically use all these techniques and modalities within a single massage as well as elements of assisted and proprioceptive stretching.
