If I had to break it down, I could artificially create three sections of my massage work. In truth, my sessions usually blend all three types.
The first type of massage work is the traditional table massage in which various types and amounts of pressure (i.e. fast, slow; superficial, deep) are applied directly to muscles. The goal in this type of massage is to contact muscles with just the right amount of pressure to disburse tension and relax muscles. This kind of massage session restores supple fluidity and function to the body. Massage modalities used in this type of massage include: Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, Shiatsu massage, Lomi Lomi massage, Thai massage, Tragger massage, and Hot Stone Massage.
The second type of massage I offer comes from traditional Chinese medicine’s visceral manipulation, otherwise known as Tui Na massage. This work is EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE for resolving specific pain caused by sciatic nerve impingement, frozen shoulders conditions, neck pain, low back pain, chronic spinal muscle pain, and hyper-hip flexor contraction. Combining acupressure and precise manual muscle movement, conditions that would take months to resolve with traditional massage and trigger point therapy, often improve 60-80% after the FIRST TREATMENT.
The third type of massage work I offer, usually towards the end of most massage sessions, restores the wholeness and integration of the body by realigning subtle structures. This work is based on the osteopathic method of manual manipulation therapy from which cranial-sacral work emerged. By connecting with and following the intelligence that governs cerebral spinal fluid pulse, lymphatic drainage, and other micro functions essential to the body’s wellness, your system is, in a sense, rebooted to its orignal settings.
