We can incorporate the following modalities into your massage:
Swedish Massage - the manipulation of soft tissue for therapeutic purposes and may include effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, compression, vibration and friction. It is a soothing massage that increases circulation to the muscles, removes muscle waste products, such as lactic acid and maintains muscle flexibility. It may also include the use of oil and hot or cold packs. Some of the benefits of Swedish massage are a state of being both relaxed and alert, relief from stress, faster recovery time from an injury, relief from tired, aching muscles and a greater sense of self-awareness.
Neuromuscular Therapy - concerned with bringing relief from soft tissue pain and dysfunction. The focus is to find the origin of the pain and address it. NMT renews structural homeostasis by restoring normal physiological functioning among muscles, nerves and the musculoskeletal system. NMT is very effective for breaking the chronic pain cycle.
Hot Stone Therapy - a profoundly relaxing addition that soothes away stress with the use of heated stones.
Manual Lymph Drainage - a massage technique developed by Danish medical doctor Vodder and his wife in 1932. Vodder, who also discovered and developed a new branch of medicine called Lymphology, created this method primarily to treat patients with swollen necks or limbs due to poor lymph flow. He applied a series of particular rhythmic, light strokes along the lymphatic vessels and surrounding tissues to help the flow of lymph toward the heart thus reduce swelling in the affected area.
Cranio Sacral Therapy - the manipulation of the craniosacral rhythmic motions of the body in order to bring those motions back into a balance. The craniosacral system provides an energetic background for the development, growth and functional efficiency of the brain and spinal cord from the time of embryonic formation until death. A craniosacral session is conducted by using gentle holds. Subtle resistance is given to body rhythms that are out of balance to bring the body's rhythms back into symmetry. The benefits of craniosacral therapy are relief from stress, a state of deep relaxation and an increased sense of being centered.
Trager Approach - utilizing gentle, non-intrusive, natural movements, The Trager Approach helps release deep-seated physical and mental patterns and facilitates deep relaxation, increased physical mobility, and mental clarity.
Muscle Energy Technique - a gentle, noninvasive form of therapy designed to restore optimal function to joints whose normal range of motion has been compromised by shortening and/or spasm of the musculature surrounding those joints. Assessment consists of the precise application of active isometric and isotonic contractions and muscle balancing.
Rolf Method of Structural Integration - created by Ida Rolf, this refers to a system of body education and physical manipulation. Ida Rolf's discovery was that the same network of connective tissue which contains and links the muscle system when it's healthy can be used to reshape it when it's been pulled out of proper order. The fascia is the basic material of the body and Structural Integration works with it. A Rolf practitioner uses deep myofascial work to help bring the structure of the body back into proper alignment. In this fashion, gravity will flow through the structure itself, rather than into the muscles which, in turn, would tense to support gravity. Muscles move the structure and if the structure is properly aligned to support gravity the muscle can operate most efficiently. Structural Integration involves a series of ten consecutive sessions, which focus on each area of the body for about the first seven, then integrates the work over the last few sessions. The result of the sessions are immediately apparent. One begins to walk in a more fluid fashion, breathe more easily, experience a significant increase in mobility, regain flexibility that may not have been there for quite some time and experience a noticeable reduction of stress.
Rolf Movement - the purpose of Rolf Movement is to work with the client to help identify movement patterns that promote strain and asymmetry. Once the patterns are identified, the Rolf Movement practitioner does not seek to change those patterns, which have served the client well, but rather to offer more economical solutions which promote greater balance and efficiency in the gravitational field.
Amma - the principle behind AMMA is that the body strives to be in a constant state of balance at all times. Energy channels that correspond to each organ of the body flow throughout our bodies. These channels run both deep and close to the surface of the skin. Along these channels are various points or windows to the channel. These points allow a therapist to access the channels and free up or unblock any stagnation along the channel which might cause an imbalance or dysfunction in the body, thereby causing pain or illness.
Polarity Therapy - a natural health care system. It asserts that energy fields and currents exist everywhere in nature and that the flow and balance of this energy in the human body is the underlying foundation of health. Energy balancing is a central concept in many ancient and traditional health care systems, such as oriental medicine and Ayurveda from India. Modern scientific research has provided new understanding of the evidence for the powerful effects and health benefits made possible by Polarity. Polarity Therapy has a remarkable simplicity, yet its philosophical and practical implications go as deep as the human experience itself and its techniques touch all aspects of life.
Reflexology - specific attention to acupressure points and energy work to promote overall wellbeing.
Reiki - an energetic approach to the body, where the practitioner places his/her hands on 12 prescribed areas of the body, front and back. In each position the hands are rested gently on the body and remain still for 3-5 minutes without manipulation of any sort. This form of bodywork helps the client to achieve a deep relaxation and quietness of mind. Also, it is effective in healing of mental, physical and emotional issues.
Shiatsu - finger or thumb pressure. Shiatsu is based on the premise that body and mind, which operate as one, are created by, maintained by, and work by energy. In Shiatsu the meridians can be extended and tsubos can be anywhere on the body. Shiatsu techniques may include: pounding, stretching, rocking and manipulation techniques. Pressure may be applied by use of forearms, elbows, palms, feet and knees. The results of a session may be greater mobility and flexibility, a clearer sense of one's body and a sense of being both relaxed and energized.
