Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines cream or uscented lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, greater flexibility and postural correction from hunching or favortism to a hand or side.
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 uncomfortable. Post soreness can be common after this treatment and therefore a few sessions are necessary to achieve ideal results. Taking note of areas that still need attention at least 48 hours post massage is asked, along with a 90 mintue to 2 hour time phrame allowing an actual focus to your whole body rather than just the areas making themselves most known to you. Plenty of water ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins released along with relaxation after a deep tissue massage session is mandatory.
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Some sports are harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function. I suggest e-mailing me prior to the massage allowing me enough time to at least research ideal stretches for your activity. Including areas of concern is best keeping in mind the necessity of a 90 to 2 hour massage encuring the benefits of areas not aware of.
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation. With pregnancy massage I have experienced multiple hour sessions to be beneficial to her and therefore my rate is low due to the said benefits and income best towards her new one.
