My work is a blend of many different modalities. I use visual assessment and questions directed to you to find out what specifically needs to be done to gain the most from our bodywork session. The following describes the most common modalities used: Swedish massage is characterized by the use of lotion or oil to allow gliding strokes over the skin. The strokes are done toward the heart with the goal of improving blood and lymphatic flow. Most commonly used for relaxation and improving well-being. Myo-fascial Release is an effective hands-on technique that uses sustained pressure to reduce restrictions in the connective tissue system.
This method is effectively used to eliminate pain, restore motion and change shape and structure of soft tissue. Deep-Tissue: In general terms deep tissue is a generalized classification of many different types of work that all have one thing in common... depth of pressure. Almost all deep tissue forms of massage therapy have a specific treatment goal in mind.
