Summary of skills
Sports Massage is a great technique for active individuals. This technique is can be done with the client clothed, in order to provide comfort while manual stretching, range of motion assessment and other compression techniques are performed. The goal of sports massage is to enable optimal muscle performance. Getting massage is essential for the treatment and prevention of sports related injuries as well.
Cranial Sacral Therapy is a gentle manual technique that restores balance within the cranial sacral system. This system of control is found in the tissues a structures surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By restoring the natural rhythmic movement of the cerebral spinal fluid found between the bones of the skull, vertebra and sacrum proper functioning is restored. Injuries of the spine and head, such as whiplash can be easily addressed and treated with this technique. This is also a good alternative for people who may not need or want a muscularly based body treatment.
Muscular Therapy addresses your body’s muscular and connective tissue tension. Because tension or injury in the body's soft tissue can have a dramatic affect on the body’s overall comfort this technique is a versatile tool in creating more health and comfort. Muscular therapy uses pressure, stretching techniques, evaluations of tissues and promotes oxygenation of the body’s soft tissues, and less pain from over use or tension.
Injury Related Tension massage focuses on acute and chronic conditions related to trauma and injury to the body. We work together to understand how trauma has entered into the body, what tissues are directly and indirectly affected by the trauma and finally how the body is going to allow for the trauma to be released. This technique allows for circulation, conditioning and rejuvenation of soft tissue are is very effective. This technique requires at least three sessions, since each session focuses on different goals and will be building on any changes and benefits of previous treatments.
Myofascial Release technique works with the body’s main connective tissue called facia, Because Fascia is located on many levels of body tissue, from between the skin and the underlying structure of muscle and bone, it creates a seamless web of connective tissue that covers and connects the muscles, organs, and skeletal structures. When fascia is impeded by pain, trauma, strain or tension then the body is unable to sustain optimum functioning. The goal of myofascial release is to work with fascia restrictions in order to restore its tissue health.
Aqua Ion Chi Detox Foot Bath
The Ion-cleanse foot bath provides a whole body detoxification therapy session. The session removes toxins from the body through the feet. The unit produces positive and negative ions. These ions cause impurities to be eliminated through the pores of the feet. It works through the process of osmosis.
