MASSAGE
MODALITIES: My approach to your massage session will be an integration of many techniques, directed by your goals and needs, shaped by my training, experience, and intuition. Nearly all modalities are appropriate for switching the body from Sympathetic Nervous System response (fight or flight) to Parasympathetic (rest and repair), although pre-event sport's massage is geared to activate rather than to rest. Clinical and Relaxing Aromatherapy - what a wonderful gift from God ~ fragrances that captivate us with their beauty can also be exactly what we need to relieve a variety of pains and ills, as well as helping us resist many pathogenic diseases. Aromatherapy can be made part of a gentle massage, and the blend goes home with you for your personal use. Come to your senses. The fragrances aid relaxation, while the small constituent molecules of the essential oils are absorbed through the skin and inhalation to be used for the health of the body. Lymphatic Drainage - the effectiveness of this extremely light and gentle massage is simply fascinating. Recommended pre- and post-surgery, or when the tissues are too inflamed for other types of massage. Perhaps the best modality to treat edema. Has been found to reduce arthritic pain. A great asset if you are doing a cleanse. Received routinely, lymphatic drainage supports your beauty regimen. Swedish - "effleurage, petrissage, tapotement" may be exotic words, but they translate into a satisfying experience of massage known for increasing circulation, promoting cleansing of all body tissues, improving muscle tone while easing out stress. Deep Tissue - sensitive pressure, listening to the muscles, finding that perfect depth where tensions are released, fascial adhesions break up, and the path is cleared for improved movement, improved circulation. Hot Stone - be sure to specify in advance, when making your appointment. The slow release of heat, the reassuring weight of the stones, together with their smooth, warm beauty, all combine to deepen your rest and restoration. Reflexology - it is amazing how you can find body tensions reflected--and released--in the feet! Injury Treatment - this is wonderfully effective work, choosing techniques from all modalities according to the need. I accept Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance (auto accidents) and L&I (work-related injuries) with a prescription. Sports Massage - I know from experience this reduces "delayed muscle soreness" after strenuous exercise. |
