Lydia’s massage is unlike any other you’ve experienced. She moves at a snail’s pace: intentionally slow, allowing the body to actually feel change occurring while the mind records it. This is known as biofeedback and is necessary to achieve lasting relief. Lydia works deeply, but her massage is non-intrusive: she carefully waits for the tissue to catch on, and let down its fascial barriers. See for yourself how Lydia’s massage delivers greater lasting results. When you receive a massage from Lydia, you receive a personalized session of integrative bodywork utilizing the following modalities:
Myofascial Release(MFR)uses traction and stretching to release and unwind fascia (sticky Saran wrap-like connective tissue) back to a healthy state, releasing the adverse effects of inflammation, tensions and trauma.
Trigger Point Therapy is the application of pressure to specific areas to release tension or tenderness in congested muscle tissue. Trigger points may radiate pain to other areas of the body.
Shiatsu uses rhythmic pressure from 3 to 10 seconds on specific points along the body's meridians by using the fingers, palms, elbows, knees, and sometimes feet to unblock and stimulate the flow of energy.
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for rejuvenating effects: reduces stress and tension, refreshes and invigorates the body, soothes emotions, and clears the mind.
Thai Yoga Massage is an interactive manipulation of the body using passive stretching and gentle pressure along energy lines.
Deep Tissue Massage is using deep muscle compression and friction along the grain or across the grain of the muscle using elbows, forearms, and fists. Its purpose is to unstick the fibers of the muscles and release both toxins and deeply held patterns of tension.
Reflexology is an acupressure type technique performed on the hands, feet and outer ear stimulating the natural energy of the organ system and restoring normal functioning and health.
