This is meant to reach deep into your muscles and break up the fibers that clump tightly together to form "knots." I use several effective techniques that apply just the right amount of compression and friction along the grain of the muscle. These techniques are especially good for treating muscle damage due to an injury such as whiplash or back strain, and they help release toxins and break patterns of tension. Deep tissue manipulation decreases your muscles' sensitivity to the demands of everyday stress.
This modality will prevent athletic injury, relieve swelling, fatigue and muscle tension, increase flexibility and help enhance athletic performance. Sports massage is not only for elite athletes. For those who want to decrease muscle soreness and increase range of motion, the unique combination of deep tissue therapy with assisted stretching will restore you back to peak performance.
Many aches, pains, and symptoms are caused by trigger points in muscles. A trigger point is a small muscle spasm that refers pain elsewhere. This displaced pain can be very confusing, but with my training I can help isolate the root of your pain and help to effectively release tension as well as improve your muscular function.
This style is my specialty! My techniques in this session include myofascial release, soft tissue manipulation and trigger point release. I am able to confidently determine the contributing factors to your rotator cuff injury. I then apply an effective treatment procedure to reduce the painful symptoms and limitations of rotator cuff dysfunction.
Sciatica is a general term for pain originating from the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in the body. Sciatic nerve pain travels from the buttock, down the back of the thigh, and into the leg. It is caused by compression from the spine on the sciatic nerve roots. My expertise in this area can greatly help or totally relieve this pain with just a few therapeutic sessions.
Ideal for reducing stress, relieving tension, and improving circulation. Relaxation massage techniques include effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement and vibration. These types of massage produce an overwhelming sense of well-being, reduced levels of anxiety, and will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed.
