Licensed Massage Therapist

Come and benefit from the many modalities Massage Therapy has to offer.

	Deep-Tissue Massage
	Deep-tissue massage uses slow strokes, direct pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles with the fingers, thumbs or elbows. Deep-tissue massage works deeply into the muscles and connective tissue to release chronic aches and pains. Its purpose is to reach the fascia beneath the surface muscles. This technique is useful in treating chronic pain, inflammation and injury.

Myofascial Release (MFR)

Myofascial release deals with the fascia, or connective tissue, of the body. The fascia is interconnected to every other part of the body, and actually helps to support the body's very structure, including the musculoskeletal system. When injury, inflammation, or physical or emotional trauma occurs, the fascia can become tight and cause pain and/or restricted range of motion. Myofascial release -- as its name suggests -- aims to release the fascia and return it to a state of normalcy by applying gentle pressure to the restricted areas. MFR can help with a number of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, and stress-related illnesses.

Swedish Massage

Generally regarded as the most common form of massage, Swedish massage involves a combination of five basic long and flowing strokes and concentrates on the muscles and connective tissues of the body for improved circulation, relaxation, pain relief, and overall health maintenance and well-being. Swedish massage is also one of the less demanding techniques for massage therapists to practice as it usually does not involve deep-tissue work.
Clients are encouraged to drink a lot of water following a trigger point therapy session to flush out any toxins released when the trigger point is released.

Pregnancy Massage:

Pregnancy places unique physical demands on a woman's body. Muscles and joints undergo stress due to fluctuating hormone levels, nerve impingement, weight gain, and skeletal changes. Aches and pains often accompany these changes. Regular massage during pregnancy can:

Alleviate the stress on weight bearing joints.
Alleviate backache, stiffness and swelling associated with pregnancy.
Ease the pressure on the sciatic nerve
Sooth the nervous system of both mother and child
Improve sleep patterns

Massage = drug free relief for the aches and pains of pregnancy!
