To aid in the health and well being of the body, routine Massage Therapy sessions
are one of the best treatments to receive. There is a broad variety of
techniques used for Therapeutic Massage, and with this assortment,
many conditions can be helped. The following are additional massage techniques
not covered in the Massage Therapy page.
Swedish Massage
This is the most traditional type of Massage Therapy. This technique uses
long gliding strokes, friction, and kneading. This modality was developed
in the 1820’s by the Swedish Doctor, Per Henrik Ling. His techniques
were brought from various places in the world including Greece, Rome, China
and Egypt. This technique affects the nervous system, the lymph system
and the circulatory system.
Lymph Massage
The Lymph system was designed to remove toxins and
bacteria from the body. By using gentle Therapeutic Massage techniques,
one can stimulate the Lymph system to improve the circulation of the Lymph.
This is a gentle massage and very relaxing.
Myofascial Release
Fascia is a strong substance used to hold muscles, organs, and many other
parts of the body. This substance is very strong
and when an injury occurs it can become very tight and immobile. By using
certain techniques to release this tension, one can feel immediate relief.
Neuromuscular Therapy
This therapy uses many techniques to aid
in balancing the muscular system and the nervous system. By using these
techniques, trigger points can be released, joint tension
can dissipate, and endorphins can be released.
Cellulite Massage
Cellulite is a result of water retention, fibrosis of connective tissue,
poor blood circulation and enlarged fat cells. Therapeutic Massage stimulates
the blood vessels and blood circulation in the skin; thereby draining the
lymph cells of toxins. This massage focuses on those areas attacked by
cellulite. Regular Cellulite Massage can aid in the reduction of the appearance
of cellulite and store your skin to its soft and supple texture.
Prenatal Massage
This massage is ideal for women who are in their second and third trimester
of pregnancy. The client will be in a side-laying position and will receive
a delicate soothing massage. If you are having any complications with your
pregnancy you must consult a doctor before receiving this treatment. The
benefits of Prenatal Massage include; stress relief on weight-bearing joints,
neck & back pain relief, reduce swelling in hands and feet, headache
and sinus relief.
