Massage therapy has played a vital role in many cultures for centuries. My approach is to customized the massage to your needs with the objective to achieve physical and mental wellness. MYOFASCIAL MASSAGE
Myofascial massage is used to loosen adhesions of fascia and soft tissues due to overuse which can diminish blood flow and cause pain and muscle tension. ONCOLOGY MASSAGE
Oncology Massage Therap
y: The power of touch can do wonders. “The American Cancer Society highlights oncology massage as a complimentary therapy to standard medical treatment”. Cancer patients who have undergone any form of treatment or surgery are exhausted from the battle their body has had to endure. The body is still in recovery long after treatments are completed. Oncology massage incorporates Chinese medicinal techniques which helps all parts of the body. It helps with sleep disorder, intestinal problems, improves digestion, circulation, peripheral neuropathy and most importantly helps relieve emotional distress. Basic Swedish massage along with Chinese medicinal techniques also helps to relieve some if not all side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. PRENATAL & POSTNATAL MASSAGE
Prenatal and postnatal massage helps reduce stress and discomfort during the shifting of the body structure which then causes muscles to work harder to create stability. SPORTS TECHNIQUES MASSAGE
Sports Techniques Massage: is for the athlete in everyone. It incorporates all massage modalities including stretching to elongate muscles. Stretching allows the muscles to recover quickly and as a result the body can increase its performance and endurance. It also increases flexibility, circulation, relaxation and helps develop better sleep patterns. SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish Massage Therapy: induces relaxation and increases circulation. THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Therapeutic massage is administered for overuse and chronic muscle discomfort. Incorporates deeper and specific tissue work. TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE
Trigger Point Massage Therapy: irritability of muscle tissue, when the muscle is compressed it is hypersensitive and can cause referred pain and tenderness to other parts of the body. Think of it as shortening the fiber of the muscles. By appyling specific pressure to these areas some relief can be achieved. YOUNG ADULT MASSAGE
Pre-Teen and Young Adults Massage: My goal is to work with young adults to encourage body awareness and good posture. As the body changes, they become self conscious and compromise their bodies with bad posture which then creates or causes problems in later years. Young athletes especially are not taught proper care of their bodies. CORPORATE MASSAGES
