Why should you choose Intuitive Touch Bodywork and Massage?

We believe the importance of making sure our clients are comfortable, their needs are being addressed, and that every service provided is thorough.

Late to your appointment? That's okay! We will still work on you up to 10 minutes late, and give you your full time. Up to 15 minutes late, we will cut time or reschedule, its that simple!

Spa music? Not in here! We have an amazing selection of music that soothes the body and tickles the brain while you can enjoy your body work. Have a request? Just ask! We are here to accommodate your experience.

Comfortability is a high standard we practice in our studio. Being comfortable on the table is more than extra padding that you can melt into, low lighting, and aroma therapy in a quiet room. We are open to hearing any concerns or questions you may have before, during or after your session. Don't want to undress? No problem, there are a lot of massage techniques that dont require any un******ng at all!

At ITBM, you are in control of your sessions. Too much pain? Let us know! Not enough? Ask for more! We are here to make sure you get the most out of every session.

Happy Friday!

I again wanted to express my appreciation to everyone that I've had to cancel the last 2 weeks for their understanding. I have 1 small fracture, a couple strains (partial tearing) and soft tissue damage/contusions to my left ankle. Today I have been able to walk a little better with the help of a crutch and boot. I am returning Monday to work and will start rescheduling people where I can fit them. This will be a 3 to 6 month long healing process, but I am positive that I'll be able to still provide quality massages by using my body a little differently.

I also want to let everyone know, Laura Gimlin is a talented massage therapist over at Salon Retro in Spokane valley who is currently helping me out during my healing process. Please reach out to her if you're needing a session, I know you all will enjoy her touch!

Thank you again for your continued support, texts and calls, I am excited to get back into the studio!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone of my friends and clients who have called and texted throughout the last week and this week. The tissue damage is the biggest concern with how fast the healing process will take in my ankle. But, with the help of crutches and a boot I should be back by next week. This does mean however that massages will change and deep tissue might not be available until I am fully healed.

I cant thank my clients enough for being patient and understanding during this recovery time. It means so much to me to have your support and continued thoughts and healing comfort sent my way 💜

Can massage help sprains?

Yes! Massage can help reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation, as well as improve range of motion and promote healing. However, it's crucial to avoid massage immediately after a sprain, especially if there is still significant pain or bleeding.

Benefits of Massage for Sprains:
Pain Relief:
Massage can help alleviate pain associated with sprains by releasing muscle tension and improving blood flow to the injured area.

Reduced Swelling and Inflammation:
Gentle massage techniques can help reduce swelling and inflammation, which are common after a sprain.

Improved Range of Motion:
Massage can help loosen tight muscles and improve flexibility, allowing for a greater range of motion in the affected joint.

Faster Healing:
By increasing blood circulation, massage can deliver oxygen and nutrients to the damaged tissues, promoting faster healing.

Scar Tissue Prevention:
Certain massage techniques, like cross-friction massage, can help prevent the formation of scar tissue adhesions, which can restrict movement and cause long-term problems.

When to Avoid Massage:
Immediately after the injury:
Avoid massage during the first few days after a sprain, especially if there is still significant pain or bleeding.

If it causes pain:
If massage causes pain or worsens symptoms, stop and consult with a healthcare professional.

Recommended Massage Techniques:

Cross-friction massage:
This technique can be helpful for sprains, particularly in the ankle, to prevent scar tissue formation and promote healing.

Lymphatic drainage:
This technique can help reduce swelling by promoting the drainage of excess fluid from the injured area.

General massage:
Once the initial acute phase has passed, gentle massage can help improve blood circulation and promote healing.

Lets talk about Sports Massage Therapy!

Sports massage is a specialized massage for athletes and active people. It prevents injuries, boosts performance, and speeds recovery by targeting muscle tension and soreness with techniques like deep tissue work and stretching. It improves flexibility, range of motion, and blood circulation, aiding in faster tissue repair and reducing muscle fatigue.

Sports massage focuses on specific muscle groups relevant to an individual's sport or activity.
Injury Prevention:
By addressing muscle imbalances and tension, it can help prevent injuries.

Performance Enhancement:
It can improve flexibility, range of motion, and muscle recovery, potentially leading to better athletic performance.

Recovery Acceleration:
Sports massage can help alleviate muscle soreness and fatigue after workouts or competitions.

Variety of Techniques:
Techniques used can include effleurage (stroking), petrissage (kneading), and deep tissue work.

Benefits of sports massage:
Reduces muscle soreness and fatigue: Sports massage can help relieve pain and discomfort associated with DOMS.

Improves flexibility and range of motion: By addressing muscle tightness, it can enhance flexibility and movement.

Aids in injury recovery: It can help tissues heal faster and more effectively after injury.
Enhances blood circulation: Increased blood flow can promote muscle repair and reduce inflammation.

Did you know?

Trigger point therapy massage, also known as neuromuscular therapy or trigger point work, is a specialized form of massage that targets specific areas of muscle tightness, known as trigger points or "muscle knots," to relieve pain and improve muscle function. It involves applying pressure to these points to release the tension and knots, which can alleviate pain and improve range of motion.

Unlike general relaxation massage, trigger point therapy focuses on identifying and releasing specific areas of muscle tension.

By releasing trigger points, this therapy can help alleviate both local pain and referred pain patterns.
Improved muscle function:
Releasing trigger points can improve muscle flexibility, range of motion, and overall muscle health.

Practitioners use various techniques, such as direct pressure, ischemic compression, and massage strokes, to address trigger points.

Common areas where trigger points develop:
neck, shoulders, lower back, hips, and calves.

Who can benefit from trigger point therapy?
athletes, individuals with chronic pain, office workers, those under stress, and people recovering from injuries.
