Massage Techniques
Massage Therapy is generally effective in soothing
sore muscles and aching joints; easing discomfort from sports injuries;
increasing range of motion; relaxing tense bodies and frayed nerves
and reducing the effects of stress on your body.
The basic comfort of touch also helps people to feel
more grounded, connected to others, relaxed and renewed.
The specific benefits of the particular therapies
offered are detailed below. Regardless of the type of session desired,
treatment is provided with compassion and respect in a calm, supportive
and therapeutic environment.
Myofascial
Release
This is a form of deep-tissue bodywork that seeks to rebalance the body
by releasing tension in the fascia, restoring structural alignment in
the body as well as promote a balanced relationship between all parts
of the body. The therapist applies mild, sustained pressure to gently
stretch and soften the fascia. This is used to treat back and neck pain,
headaches, recurring sports injuries, and scoliosis, among other conditions.

Deep
Tissue
This term refers to various regimens or massage styles that are directed

deep tissue massage techniques the aim is to affect the various layer
of fascia that support muscle tissues and loosen bonds between the layers
of connective tissues.
Sports
Massage
This refers to a method of massage especially designed to prepare an
athlete for an upcoming event and to aid in the body's regenerative
and restorative capacities following a rigorous workout or competition.
This is achieved through specialized manipulations that stimulate circulation
of the blood and lymph.
