Chair massage is a fast, effective way of relieving stress and releasing tension when you are traveling or only have 10-15 minutes to spare &, thus, cannot take the time to get a complete, full-body massage treatment.

In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that since it is done over the clothing and without lotion, precious time is save during the hustle & bustle of a hectic day while also maintaining comfortability for those who do not like to undress to receive a massage. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional full-body massage. And lastly, because chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, they make for convenient revitalization breaks in your busy schedule.

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment of the skeltal frame, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons: which connect muscle to bone, and fascia: the protective layer of both.

Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, so rest for  a minimum of a 24-hour period before engaging in any strenuous physical activity is often needed to fully recuperate and recover -- hence, the reason for the picture to the right: the sun setting on your woes & ailments :-)

Trigger Point (TrP) Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body. In laymen's terms, a TrP is a mega-knot. These "knots" develop throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques in order to release you of any TrPs & cause the associated muscle to relax. This process can be quite painful depending upon the severity & location of the TrP, yet the effects are profoundly beneficial, lasting, and rehabilitative if post-treatment care is maintained.

Orthopedic massage is a style of massage therapy focused on treating painful conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body; for instance, headache, degenerative disc disease, tendonitis, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis -- just to name a few. Because orthopedic massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. It involves releasing tense muscles, helping to stretch and lengthen tight muscles and tendons, and decompress rigid joints. My goal is to restore optimal health to the soft tissues of your body, both treating your specific condition(s) as well as improving your overall well-being & mental outlook.

Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for the athlete and highly active individual who engages in a lot of sports performance. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body & can often lead to injuries in both the short- & long-term. Sports Massage enhances performance & prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, & dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness & in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.

Myofascial massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane.

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils and lotion with an array of strokes such as skin rolling, wringing, and compressions to help the body improve its circulation as well as release tension. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, & greater flexibility.
