Chair Massage

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Therapeutic / Myofascial Release

Therapeutic / Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increase range of motion.  This form of rebalancing differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. 

Fascia is a connective tissue that covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body.  Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level.

This type of therapy is done by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones.  Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work.  Indirect release applies lighter pressure and gentle stretches the fascia, allowing for increased blood circulation and relief from pain. 

While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane. 

Orthopedic Massage

Orthopedic Massage Therapy, sometimes referred to as Clinical or Medical Massage, is a multidisciplinary approach focused on treating painful conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body; including muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and connective tissue.  It helps in correcting postural and gait issues from over use, muscle imbalance, chronic pain and injuries. 

Orthopedic massage is designed to help treat a variety of medical conditions.  Through realigning the scar tissue matrix the body builds up in response to pain, muscles can relax to their proper resting length, reducing or eliminating pain. 

Orthopedic work can reclaim lost range of motion, as it involves releasing short tense muscles, while helping to activate overstretched and inhibited muscle tissue and allows the tendons and ligaments to relax.  This lets the bones to sit in proper alignment without becoming chronically subluxed, as well as promoting joint decompression and proper joint space, thus restoring unrestricted, pain free movement and function. 

My goal is to restore full health to the soft tissues of your body, both treating your specific conditions as well as improving your overall well-being.
