How Massage May Help You
Massage therapy helps to relieve stress-related tension, which experts believe may accounts for as much as 90% of disease. Benefits of massage may include:
  • Increasing circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs
  • Stimulating the lymphatic system, the body's natural defense against toxic invaders
  • Relaxing and softening injured and overused muscles
  • Reducing spasms and cramping
  • Increasing joint mobility and flexibility
  • Reducing recovery time for individuals who workout and athletes- at any level
  • Releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkiller
  • Reducing adhesions and edema and reducing and realigning scar tissue

The session is not generally a full body session.

 
Deep tissue massage Deep tissue massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a method using specific techniques and focuses pressure to affect deeper layers of soft tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finer pressure on the spastic areas, either following or going across the muscle fiber, tendons, and fascia. The session is not general full body session. It is a session during which the therapist directs attention to specific areas only. Optimal pressure is determined by patient preference, and the therapists skill, experience, and judgment.

Sports massage Sports massage

Sports Massage is a unique form of massage and is typically used before, during, and after athletic events. The purpose of the massage is to prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility using Active Isolated Stretching, and to prevent injuries.

Myofascial Release Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. The fascia of the body is connective tissue that provides support to all the structures of the body. The same way that muscles can get tight and cause restrictions in movement, the fascia can experience those same restrictions. This technique helps to remove those restrictions, thus restoring motion, reducing pain and increasing flexibility.
