Benefits of Massage

Massage and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, increase circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and reduce blood pressure. Massage and bodywork is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well - being.

Types of Massage & Bodywork

Swedish – the most common form of massage, Swedish mainly relaxes muscles, and eases aches and pains

Sports Massage – For the athlete, sports massage techniques are utilized at all stages:  pre-event, post-event, during training and to expedite rehabilitation after injury.

Myofascial Release – Myofascial is generally an extremely mild and gentle form of stretching the fascia that has a deep effect upon body tissues.  This approach consists of the gentle application of sustained pressure into the fascial restrictions.

Trigger point therapy – constant pressure applied to “knots” (trigger points) to help facilitate relaxation of the muscle.

Active release technique – long deep strokes applied while the muscle is taken through a lengthening contraction to release “inflexible areas of the muscle” (fascial adhesions).
