Massage is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. It's not about pampering, it's about survival. Our bodies can only take so much, and they are there for us twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Taking time for massage on a regular basis gives your body an opportunity to release chronic tension patterns, prevent injuries as well as help you heal faster if one does occur. Massage was one of the few techniques that addressed for me chronic stiffness, tension and pain in my body after recovering from a serious car accident.
Massage can feel soothing and supportive for those struggling with health and life issues. Massage provides an opportunity for the chronic build-up of stress to leave the body. Whether the stress comes from a long commute, hours behind a desk and computer, or from something as serious as a major car accident or illness such as cancer. Sessions are provided in a serene environment with soft lighting and music to enhance the experience. Therapeutic Massage can help you restore balance and provide you with a number of mind/body health benefits.
Sessions may incorporate all of the following techniques, except hot stone therapy which is performed as a separate treatment. Each session is geared towards client preference and a discussion of current health concerns. When in doubt whether massage is appropriate for your specific situation, speak to your health care provider. When receiving massage for help with any condition, it is important that you communicate any discomfort related to anything your practitioner is doing, or your position on the table, etc.
