Therapeutic / Pain Relief Treatments
Our licensed advanced therapist use specialized techniques to address areas of injury or
dysfunction. These sessions are more interactive and specific to our clients needs.
Lymphatic Draining Massage
Light, slower, repetitive strokes aid to promote the circulation of
lymph and help rid the body of toxins and waste materials.
Assists in purifying and regenerating tissues while normalizing
organ function and enhancing ones metabolism and immune
system.
Neuromuscular Therapy
This St. John’s method utilizes evaluation of postural distortions,
biomechanical dysfunction and soft tissue patterns to allow the
therapist to develop a program of individual therapy. Locating
ischemic areas in soft tissue determines trigger points, nerve compression and/or
entrapment possibilities. The tone is then
normalized to allow the central nervous and musculoskeletal
systems to balance. Excellent for pain relief.
Craniosacral Therapy
Your body's structure absorbs the daily wears and tears of life as well as
physical and emotional injury. As this tension increases and compensatory
patterns widen, the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) can be
affected limiting the body's physiological production. Craniosacral Therapy is
a light touch technique that releases fascial restrictions deep within the
body to restore overall function. A CST practitioner will evaluate the entire
body, monitor the rhythm of cerebral spinal fluid flowing around your central
nervous, work with the body to locate weakness and identify deeper sources
of dysfunction. A CST session creates full body relaxation while the
practitioner works with your tissues to facilitate changes to occur.
Craniosacral therapy can be beneficial alone or integrated with massage.
Pre-and Peri-Natal Massage
During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes many postural
and physiological changes. Massage will help the mother's body
to adapt to these changes by improving circulation and
therefore increasing oxygenation of the soft tissues, reducing
inflammation and swelling, relieving muscle aches and joint
pain. Also massage will help to regulate hormones, promote better sleep and reduce
headaches due to muscle tension and
sinus congestion. The massage therapist also lends emotional
support reducing anxiety of physical and life changes and the
impending birth of baby. Studies have shown regular massage
during pregnancy can improve labor outcomes and newborn
health. Postpartum massage helps to return the uterus to its pre-
pregnancy size, alleviate symptoms of depression, increase
milk production and regulate the functions of the
gastrointestinal tract. Your massage therapist will also help the
new mother learn basic techniques for massaging her new baby.
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) Therapy
Specialized treatment of jaw, face, head, ears, mouth (with gloved hands) and neck
that addresses TMJ dysfunction. Some symptoms include but are not limited to: jaw
pain and or clicking, headaches, neck and shoulder pain, earaches, limited ability to
open mouth, facial pain, and deviation of lower jaw.
Parkinson’s disease and Therapeutic Massage
Parkinson’s disease typically causes muscle stiffness and rigidity.
Our therapist, in communication with the client, addresses the
areas of concern employing Swedish massage and
Neuromuscular trigger point techniques. Although massage
therapy does not cure Parkinson’s disease, it most definitely
affects the symptoms in a positive way. As long as the client has
sensation in the areas being worked on, massage is a safe and
effective alternative therapy.
Fertility Massage
Fertility Massage is a series of massage techniques designed for
both women and men to support the couple's ability to conceive
naturally or with assisted reproductive technology. The
techniques applied remove congestion, lessen muscular tension
in the abdomen and pelvis which increases the function of
reproductive organs, encourage sufficient hormone release and
regulate a natural menstrual cycle in the woman. Secondary
effects include reducing the stress of "trying", increase
emotional well-being and increase digestion for better delivery
and usage of nutrients.
Massage for Muscular Dystrophy
The goal of all therapeutic massage is to ease muscle pain and
dysfunction, relax hyper contracted muscle tissue and aid in
restoring balance. This process fits the protocol for muscular
dystrophy symptoms perfectly while never intended to replace or
supersede a physician’s advice, adding regular massage therapy
sessions to a MD care plan will help reduce spasms, ease
chronically tightened muscles and improve overall quality of life.
Massage for Multiple Sclerosis
General massage application to relax the body and reduce stress.
Though the medical benefits of massage therapy are difficult to
quantify, many doctors recommend therapeutic massage as a
stress-buster which aids in reducing the symptoms of MS.
Sports Massage
Sports massage focuses on muscles relevant to the event. For
athletes who train continuously, the goal is to enhance
endurance, lessen the chance of injury and shorten the time
needed to recover from an event. This therapy is beneficial to all
age groups involved in regular exercise routines and intended
for but not limited to: recreational, travel, high school or college,
semi and professional level programs.
