Benefits of Massage
I practice many types of bodywork, blending techniques from each to address your needs for each individualized session. Here are some descriptions and how they may help you.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most familiar form of massage therapy. It employs long, gliding strokes, stretching, and joint mobilizations to promote circulation and relaxation. The health benefits of Swedish massage include:
- Calms the mind and body
- Relieves Stress
- Better sleep
- Greater sense of well-being
- Lowers Blood Pressure
Our long-term, everyday “learned” postures often lead to chronic pain. Structural Bodywork assists the body in recovering its structural integrity by correcting muscular imbalances. Using Structural Bodywork, I can help lengthen chronically tight, shortened muscles, and bring your conscious awareness to a better aligned body position.
- Relieves muscle pain, tension, soreness, and fatigue
- Elongates Posture
- Relieves Tension Headaches
- Reduces Headache Frequency
- Reverses the effects of slouching in front of a computer all day
Sports Massage is designed for athletes and the physically active. Sports Massage is muscle-specific, to help enhance performance, maintain muscular health, and shorten recovery time. Sports Massage is beneficial before, after, or in between events, as part of injury recovery, or while training. Benefits can include:
- Pain-free movement
- Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion
- Decreased potential for muscle tears
- Helps soft-tissue healing
- Creates strong and mobile, instead of rigid and immobilizing, scar tissue
