Types of Massage

It is a beautiful thing to help my clients by providing them with an excellent customized clinical massage. Massage therapists trained in clinical massage can use a variety of body work procedures appropriate to the person/condition being treated. Most of these procedures will involve releasing the body from a dysfunctional holding pattern that has developed as the result of the client's accomodating to a recent or old injury or misuse. Among these procedures are:

Neuromuscular/myofascial therapy - a method of carefully searching for and treating ischemic locations and the trigger points that are often the key factors in chronic and severe pain. This type of therapy is widely acclaimed and extremely successful in pain relief.

Fascial release - very gentle, subtle manipulation of the fascial planes to release and normalize fascials sheathes.

Positional release - a very gentle release wherein the dysfunctional part is placed in a position of complete, pain-free relaxation and allows to normalize its function during a 90 second period of neuromuscular reorganization.

Post-isometric muscle release - gently facilitated joint movement to assist a muscle in regaining a normal, relaxed length. The client actively participates.

Energy release - passive touch used in such a manner as to help the client's nervous system release and normalize dysfunctional holding patterns.

Swedish massage - a systematic application of procedures known to enhance circulation of blood and lymph (among other benefits, see "Benefits of Massage" page).

Aromassage - the combination of aromatherapy and massage.

I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity and challenge of helping my clients to feel better and to reach the goals that they are looking for by incorporating a combination of these procedures into each session for maximum results. I also look forward to continuing my research and education to provide an excellent and unique massage experience to my clients in the years to come.
