Description of My Therapeutic Massage Services

I offer professional, personalized service. Below is a basic outline of what I have to offer. However, my services are tailored to your individual needs and requests..

 

 

Prenatal Massage can reduce pregnancy discomforts such as anxiety, low back pain, and all over body aches. When necessary, this treatment is partnered with Lymphatic Massage to reduce swelling in the lower legs and feet. This gentle form of massage stimulates the lymphatic system to promote increased lymph flow which encourages the movement of bodily toxins through the lymph nodes to alleviate swelling.

 

 

Swedish Massage is recognized by its firm yet calming pressure accompanied by long fluid strokes. This treatment will ease muscle tension and promote relaxation. It also increases circulation and lymph flow and can improve flexibility.

 

 

Deep Tissue Massage or Sports Massage is recognized by deep concentrated work that breaks up restrictive scar tissue (adhesions) in the body. This treatment can increase range of motion and improve posture while relieving chronic tension.

 

 

Aromatherapy Massage involves a massage treatment using essential oils. Therapeutic Massage on its own is extremely beneficial. However, when used in conjunction with aromatherapy it can become more valuable than when the two are performed separately.

 

 

Cold Sheet Wrap. This is a detox treatment. The body experiences a slight chill for 2 minutes while the wrap is secured. Once the wrap is in place the momentary cold signals the body to warm up. For 30 minutes the body opens its pores and eliminates the bodily toxins through a light sweat. This treatment is followed by a full body Therapeutic Massage to further promote the detox.

 

 

Hot Stone Massage is a therapy that uses smooth Basalt stones that are heated to relieve muscle soreness and stiffness. This is considered a deep tissue and detox treatment since the heat will deeply penetrate the muscle and tissues. It will restore vitality to the tired muscles and joints.

 

 

Hydrotherapy Treatment uses water (either just hot, or hot and cold) to relax and heal the muscles. Using heat causes the blood vessels to dilate known as vasodilatation, and is an excellent treatment for chronic pain and arthritis suffers. The cold will cause the blood vessels to constrict known as vasoconstriction and cold is always good when treating acute injury. When used simultaneously, these methods promote a flushing of the treated area which improves circulation, increased blood and nutrient flow, and carries toxins away from the body’s tissues. These treatments are used to prepare the muscles for a deep tissue Therapeutic Massage.

 

 

Paraffin Treatment consists of immersing, wrapping or brushing the hands, feet, joints, upper or lower back with hot paraffin wax. The purpose of the treatment is to reduce muscle and joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness. This treatment is excellent for those who suffer from arthritis, bursitis and old injuries. As an added bonus it also moisturizes the skin.
