Massage Basics

Massage is the practice of applying structured or unstructured pressure, tension, motion, or vibration — manually or with mechanical aids — to the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints, lymphatic vessels, and organs of the gastrointestinal system to achieve a beneficial response. Massage Therapy is performed primarily by a professional Massage Therapist but is often used as a form of therapy by other Healthcare practitioners such as Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physical Therapists.

The types of massage I offer aid the processes of injury healing, relief of psychological stress, for pain management pain, and for the improvement of circulation. Explanation of the types of massage I am qualified to offer are listed in the Profile and Credentials section below.

In my practice I want you to be comfortable, therefore I have several treatment options available that involve lying on a massage table, sitting upright in a massage chair, or lying on a pad on the floor.

Communication

Good communication is essential to effective massage. Before we begin we will discuss the type of treatment expected: intention of the massage, areas to be massaged and to be avoided in full body massage, the amount of pressure that is comfortable, preferred techniques and how they will affect your body and overall wellbeing. Your first visit will include discussion of your medical history and current physical condition.

Massage is "structured touch" or touching with purpose.  This purpose may be directed towards relieving muscle pain and stress, increasing body awareness, or bringing equilibrium to a life in crisis.

Tangible outcomes are experienced in the active stimulation of skin, lymph and blood. Massage brings balance to nearly every system in the body. And, helps to bring a tranquilizing effect throughout the nervous system. 

Massage is a healthy way to handle stress.

An Advanced Massage Therapy session is tailored to each individual. A massage may include one of more of the following healing techniques: Acupressure, Swedish Massage, including

Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, CranioSacral, Polarity Therapy and Reiki. I use an integrative approach to massage that maximizes the therapeutic benefits.

Many health problems such as neck and shoulder injuries, fibromyalgia, lower back pain, stress, anxiety, respond favorably

to massage and will improve. Often times the improvement can be felt immediately. Other times, especially with deeper body issues, progress is felt more gradually over time during a series of massage sessions.

In any event, you will receive many health benefits. An Advanced Massage Therapy session is deeply relaxing. It improves circulation, helps rid the body of toxins and give you a greater sense of well being
