Massage
is an ancient form of therapeutic treatment dating back approximately
4,000 years. Chinese, Hindus, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans are among
the first to document holistic treatments and their benefits.
Today,
there has been a rebirth of interest in natural medicine and
therapeutic modalities to increase, maintain and restore health to its
optimum level.
To assist in maintaining, improving or increasing
your health to its optimal state, a brief description of techniques I
offer are listed below.
Swedish Massage
Swedish
Massage has a very relaxing effect on the body. It gently stimulates
cardiovascular functions, promotes lymphatic drainage aiding in the
elimination of toxins, sedates the nervous system and has an overall
toning effect that will improve organ and glandular functions. It
facilitates the absorption of nutrients throughout the body and
improves, maintains or increases muscle flexibility.
Deep Tissue
Deep
Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. By
releasing chronic muscular tension and fibrosis through slow deep
strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, along with
range of motion, will improve fluid circulation bringing oxygen and
nutrients to assist in decreasing inflammation and toxins and
increasing pliability in muscles and connective tissue either following
or going across muscle fibers, tendons and fascia to “unstick” the
affected area. NeuroMuscular Technique, NeuoroMyoFacial Release,
Advanced MyoSkeletal Alignment Techiques are also incorporated with
Deep Tissue Massage.
Sports Massage
Sports

MyoSkeletal Alignment Techniques along with Proprioceptive

Advanced MyoSkeletal Alignment Techniques
These active and passive techniques address chronic head, neck and back pain issues. MAT
assists in increasing joint mobilization, assistance in correcting
postural asymmetry and torsional pain patterns occuring from overuse,
underuse or misuse of the body. Its aim is to
reduce neural interferences that can lessen your optimal state of
health by releasing high tonic deep intrinsic muscles. Noxious stimuli reeks havoc on the sympathetic nervous system and gets overloaded impacting the whole body and mind. Constrictive muscles, fascia, joint capsules restrict motion then pain ensues. These techniques are very complimentary when working with deep tissue or sports massage.
Neuromuscular Technique
NMT
assists in postural reintegration and structural realignment. It
relieves pain and releases tension. Accentuates the cranial - sacrum
technique working with nerves for the reduction of muscular pain,
muscle congestion and compressed nerves.
NeuroMyofacial Release
Connective
tissue is networked throughout the entire body and is known as fascia.
Releasing fascia assists in the breakdown of binding muscle which
causes tension, soreness and stiffness. Deep, slow, compressing
strokes are used in NeuroMyofacial Release.
Reflexology
Working with the reflexes in the feet and all meridian points that correspond to the entire body. Reflexology enables the body to seek out its own balance. It is extremely relaxing and helps improve circulation, reduce stress and aid in the elimination of toxins. While feeling great and relaxing, your entire body – muscles, organs and glands are feeling the beneficial effects of this treatment.
