All of my massages integrate the three following techniques,
depending on your individual needs…

Deep Tissue Massage

This type of massage is designed to reach all of the layers of connective and muscle fibers. Deep tissue massage begins with a moderate touch to warm and melt away the tissue allowing the therapist to reach through the first layers, accessing deep held patterns of tension. Although it is often thought of as being abrasive, deep tissue massage is never supposed to hurt. The goal is to melt into the tissue, allowing blood to flush new life, oxygen and nutrients to areas that have been blocked by chronic patterns of held tension.

Circulatory/Swedish

Swedish Circulatory massage’s primary focus is on repeated flowing strokes that stimulate circulation and relaxation. Repeated predictable strokes help to calm the nervous system and bring it into the healing para-sympathetic state (rest and digest) This state of relaxation allows the muscles and connective tissue to release tension, and promote deeper work if needed.

Myofascial Release

Fascia is connective tissue. It surrounds everything in the body, running through it like a three-dimensional web (think of the pith on an orange). It is made up of elastin fibers, collagen fibers, and a gelatinous fluid. Fascia can become constricted, tense and dehydrated, which leads to adhesions, pain, and dysfunction. Myofascial release is performed with little to no oils or creams. By going slowly and waiting for the body’s natural rhythm, the fascia responds by elongating, rehydrating, and reorganizing. MFR opens space for fluid and energy movement, facilitating greater circulation, hydration, communication and healing.
