With an ergonomically designed massage
chair, a practitioner can perform "seated
acupressure."
The patient does not need to disrobe and
oils are not used. The chair allows the
practitioner easy access to the patient.
Cranio-sacral therapy involves the
practitioner using his or her hands to
examine the patient's cranium--paying
attention to the pulsing fluid that surrounds
the brain, spinal cord, and sacrum. This
pulsing is called the cranial rhythm. An
abnormal rhythm signals tension and
cranial pressure. In cranial-sacral therapy,
the physician gently manipulates tissue to
restore normal rhythm while the patient
concentrates on breathing and releasing
tension.
Deep connective tissue massage uses
slow strokes and intense pressure on
connective tissue (the tissue that binds
and strengthens the organs and other
tissues, such as muscle). This relieves the
patient of chronic tension and knots. Deep
connective tissue massage can be slightly
uncomfortable. More than one session
may be necessary to cure chronic tension.
Deep muscle therapy massage uses
slow strokes and intense pressure on
connective tissue (the tissue that binds
and strengthens the organs and other
tissues, such as muscle). This relieves
the patient of chronic tension and knots.
Deep muscle therapy can be slightly
uncomfortable, and more than one
session may be necessary to cure
chronic tension..
Foot or sole massage, originally practiced
by the Chinese, focuses on the body's qi,
or energy. According to this method, each
organ in the body has a corresponding
spot on the sole of the foot. Massaging
these specific points will insure overall
well-being.
On-site massage refers to massage
therapy that can be done outside the
practitioner's office at your personal
location of choice.
I will bring my own portable massage table
to your designated location.
A scalp massage increases blood
circulation and promotes healthy hair
growth. It also promotes relaxation and
can help relieve headaches.
Sports massage reduces pain, promotes
relaxation, and prevents injury in athletes.
It incorporates deep tissue massage, as
the pressure applied may be stronger than
other forms of massage. Sports massage
can be used before, during, or after a
sporting event
Stone massage is a method that
combines heated basalt stones with
traditional Swedish massage. The
technique reduces stress, anxiety,
aching muscles, and depression. The
stones are heated in hot water and are
placed on the spine and/or between the
toes. This expands blood vessels and
allows blood to flow. In some versions of
stone massage, cooled stones are
placed on the body after heated stones
Swedish massage is considered the most
common form of massage and uses firm
pressure to promote relaxation, relieve
muscle aches, and improve circulation.
The practitioner uses gliding strokes,
tapping, kneading, and friction. Massage
oil is often used.
