THE BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

The transformative power of massage has been revered for thousands of years. Hippocrates, commonly regarded as the father of medicine, once wrote that massage was a tool that a physician must assuredly understand. Our knowledge, techniques, and experience with massage therapy have only grown since then, as has our understanding of the many benefits massage can provide. Through careful manipulation of tissue, massage therapy leads to relaxation and relieved tension for both the client and their muscles. 

​​How Does Massage Therapy Help Clients?

Over the years, many studies have shown massage therapy offers numerous benefits, including relief from chronic conditions. Some of the benefits of massage can include:​
  • ​Lowered blood pressure, heart rate, and stress hormone levels
  • Triggered release of oxytocin and serotonin hormones for a more relaxed mood
  • Boosted immune system
  • Improved circulation and blood flow
  • Eased muscles ready for normal to greater physical function​
​Massage therapy can help with a wide range of issues including stress, muscle knots, headaches, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel, sciatica, and more. My strokes are tailored to your unique needs for the best results – even just one session can make a big difference. 
​

Chronic Pain Relief

For sufferers of chronic pain, my aim is to work on gradual healing and improvement of movement. I begin by determining limits and range of motion and slowly increase and better this range at a pace you’re comfortable with. ​
​

Rehabilitation and Recovery from Injuries

This is similar to our strategy for patients in need of rehabilitation, such as those struggling with the painful effects of an auto accident. My goal is to help physical healing and aid in the recovery process to ensure you can get to a point of returning to movement.  ​
​

Emotional and Mental Well-Being

And rather than being a tiring or draining activity you don’t look forward to, massage therapy assists in working out numerous physical problems while also allowing you to emotionally step back and relax. I always set the right environment for massage therapy appointments, so my clients can truly embrace the opportunity for quiet, peaceful reflection. 
​


Types of Massage Offered

Multiple types of massages are available depending on what you’re looking for, and while each of these can be extremely beneficial, their differing techniques mean clients can expect particular results.  During our initial consultation I can determine what type of massage therapy will best suit your needs. Often I find a combination of techniques of the most benefits, and we may use all of them in one session.
​



​​SWEDISH MASSAGE

Swedish massage is the most popular massage method in the West for a reason. Its main function is to promote rest and relaxation, so you can alleviate daily frustration while, at the same time, experiencing physical renewal. 
​


​​DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep tissue massages begin with a warm-up which is followed by intense, therapeutic strokes. This strong pressure is used to break down deep scare tissue and knots and is particularly useful for conditions such as tennis elbow and fibromyalgia. Deep Tissue Massage is an intense experience providing a great deal of relief and relaxation. 
​


​​TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

Trigger points typically develop from muscle stress or trauma and can form extremely distressing knots which hinder your quality of life. To make matters worse, trigger points are often the source of referred pain and can lead you on a wild goose chase in your attempts to find the true source of the problem. This technique allows me to truly work with your body to find why you’re getting trigger points and how they can be dealt with as effectively as possible.
