*People with acute or
chronic muscle tension and the associated pain are most likely to benefit
greatly from this type of treatment. Medical
Structural Bodywork - Unlocks the Years of Chronic Muscle Build Up
(those hard, tight & painful muscles) and helps to release Spasms from
Body Structural Problems, Same Repetition Movements, Accidents or Body
Injuries. Trigger Point and Myotherapy – are pain-relief
techniques to alleviate muscle spasms and cramping. With this process I
locate and deactivate `trigger points'. The goal is to reduce spasm, inducing
new blood flow into the affected area. Spasms physically reduce blood flow
and oxygen to the trigger point area (ischemia). Pressure is briefly applied
to trigger points. It is common to hit the same trigger points several times
during a session, but you won't be leaning into a sore spot for several
minutes. Often ice or another cooling agent is used to reduce nervous system
response, making the area easier and more comfortable to work. Then the
muscles are gently stretched to complete the relaxation process, hence the
name `spray and stretch'. Myotherapy aims to erase pain and soothe tightened
muscles. Rate:
$75/hour

Deep
Tissue Massage
- is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more
direct pressure applied across the grain of the muscles. This invigorating
experience is a process of detection of stiff or painful areas by determining
the quality and texture of the deeper layers of musculature, and slowly
working into the deep layers of muscle tissue. Specific hand positions and
strokes are then used to respond to various tissue qualities. Techniques
employing breath and movement are also used for releasing muscular
congestion. |

Sports Massage – is used
primarily for the serious athlete who trains continuously. It focuses on the
muscles relevant to the particular athletic activity. It also can include
pre-event, post-event and maintenance techniques that promote greater
athletic endurance and performance, lessening chances of injury and reduce
recovery time. |

Swedish
Massage -
is a collection of techniques designed primarily to relax muscles by applying
pressure against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction
as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage can relax
muscles, increase circulation, remove metabolic waste products, and help the
recipient obtain a feeling of connectedness, a better awareness of their
body. One of the primary goals of Swedish Massage is to speed venous return
from the extremities. Swedish Massage flushes the tissue of lactic acid, uric
acid and other metabolic wastes, while improving circulation without
increasing heart load. |

sitting in a special, portable massage chair. The client remains fully
clothed while their shoulders, neck, upper back, head and arms are massaged. |
