Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage consists of a series of massage
strokes, which are used to increase blood and lymph circulation. The
strokes range from long and flowing, kneading, friction, and vibration
to the quick, brief strokes of tapotement. Joint movements can be
incorporated to increase the range of motion, stretch ligaments and
tendons, and to reduce stiffness. Benefits include increased
relaxation, decreased pain, and loosening of scar tissue. Cupping can
be used over the chest area and upper back, to loosen phlegm and
congestion, in order to reduce cold symptoms and to assist breathing.

Connective Tissue Therapy
Connective tissue is located throughout the body
and provides a continuous connection from the top of the head to the
bottom of the feet. This tissue can become adhered and restricted,
affecting the circulatory, nervous, lymphatic and the musculoskeletal
systems. Using Connective Tissue Therapy, muscles are encouraged to
relax by lengthening, spreading, and differentiating chronically
shortened muscles, to increase range of motion and reduce pain.

Neuromuscular Massage
Neuromuscular Massage is a form of deep tissue
massage that works with trigger points associated with chronically
contracted muscles. Trigger points feel like a knot located deep in the
connective tissue of the muscle and are associated with localized
tenderness. Areas of referred sensation may extend beyond the
associated muscle. Pressure is applied to the trigger points within the
muscle’s belly and tendons, which allows the whole muscle to relax and
return to a healthy tensional state.

Sports Massage
Timing is an important aspect of Sports Massage,
which combines pre & post event massage with recovery & maintenance
massage sessions. Pre and post sports event massage uses specific
techniques to increase circulation to flush waste products from
overworked muscle tissue. This work is characterized by light and brisk
movements, used to reduce muscle contraction and to speed up the
recovery process. While an athlete is training for a sports event,
maintenance massage is used to prevent injuries and to increase
awareness of inefficient use patterns. This allows the athlete to train
and compete in a pain free way.

Additional Bodywork Offered:
Polarity Therapy
Polarity is a form of bodywork which uses light contact to no contact.
The client remains fully clothed during the session. This method was
developed by Randolph Stone who had a background in Osteopathy,
Chiropractic and Naturopathy. Polarity helps awaken and balance the
energetic fields that surround our bodies. The goal of Polarity is to
release blockages in this energy field. Blockages can lead to
disharmony and disease, which may be felt as headaches, stomach aches
and various discomforts and ailments.
