A technique which allows the therapist to work into the deeper layers of musculature and fascia. This is usually performed at a slow pace. The therapist may use their fingers, thumbs, elbows and forearms to assist in releasing chronic patterns of tension.

EFFLEURAGE

   A smooth gliding stroke used in Swedish Massage usually to promote relaxation of muscular tissue. This can also be implemented prior to deeper work to warm up the area to be concentrated on. 

 PETRISSAGE 

   Squeezing, rolling and kneading of the muscles to help with the release of metabolic waste(lactic acid) and toxins. 

SPORTS MASSAGE

  Great for athletes and people who work out. This is massage for specific muscle groups which may be overtaxed due to the demands of    training.  The approach may be different for pre/post events and can also be applied to help muscles recover from work outs.  

THERAPIST ASSISTED STRETCHING

  The therapist helps the client achieve a greater range of motion by manually stretching tense muscles. This can be passive or active movement.  More freedom of movement at the joints is achieved by the lengthening of the muscles surrounding the joints. 

 TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE

  A deep, specific technique used for pain relief. The therapist may use finger and thumb pressure as well as elbows to get deep into the cause of pain.

Most sessions will be a hybrid of all the above types of massage. For people who want to stay with a particular type of bodywork, their wishes are respected.

                                                                                                   CORPORATE  MASSAGE 

 is also available for those employers that would like to reward their employees. This can be set up on a regular basis, or

something  as in an "Employee Appreciation Day". I will come to your place of business with a massage chair to massage the employees. This

helps with employee moral, and gives the workers something to look forward to. Sessions are normally ten to fifteen minutes for each person, and

usually paid for by the employer. For this type of massage I try to keep the jobs local, to reduce travel time and keep the job efficient. For more

information, please give me a call at 301.943.5009.
