Treatments
Deep Tissue
I specialize in Deep Tissue massage, which targets chronic tension in muscles and connective tissues.In general, it is used to break down scar tissue/adhesions and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time. I incorporate different massage modalities depending on how your unique issues and lifestyle has affected your daily life.
Swedish
The main goal of a Swedish massage is to promote stress relief in the mind and nervous system, while simultaneously improving blood circulation and draining the lymphatic system. As a deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of your muscles, a Swedish massage is primarily used for relaxation, utilizing lighter pressure, lymphatic, and releasing the the superficial layer of tension.
TMJ/TMD
Temporomandibular Disorder are disorders of the jaw muscles, joints, and the nerves associated with chronic facial pain. TMD may be caused by grinding teeth at night, clenching your teeth in daily activities, or chewing gum for excessive periods. Massage is really effective at breaking up the connective tissue and fascia causing the jaw to lock up and not work properly.
Neuromuscular Therapy
NMT flexibility stretching, to remove neuromuscular pain and bring the central nervous system into balance with the body’s muscular system. Neuromuscular massage focuses on the five elements which cause pain – nerve compression, decreased blood flow, bio-mechanical dysfunction, postural distortion, and trigger points.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release massage stretches and melts the connective tissue/ fascia, relieves pain, increases range of motion and improves posture. This massage uses no oil to achieve the best separation of the Fascia from the connective tissue and muscles.
Sports massage
I love to work with Athletes, they have the desire to be at peak physical health, which means you're able to endure the painful applications in massage because it boosts performance drastically with regular appointments. Sports massage involves stretching, and repairing injuries to structures caused by your unique sport and pain sustained from overexerting yourself.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point applications focus on consistent pressure to the structure which is impinged in a knot formation. It can be implicated in a wide range of common conditions that involve chronic pain, including sciatica, plantar fasciitis, low back pain, Kyphotic curve, trigger finger and frozen shoulder/ overall rotation loss.
