Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular therapy is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
This technique differs from other modalities because it is more focused on the area of concern along with the involvement of the full body
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. 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, improved appearance, and greater flexibility. It is one of the most common massage that many are familiar with.
Myofascial Massage
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. Imbalances to the fascia can cause you to feel tightness, tension, and pain. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane that covers your whole body.
It involves warming of the muscles with techniques known as deep transverse friction and longitudinal release.
Deep Tissue Massage
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, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Hence, there is a dedicated amount of time to warming of the muscles to prevent any injuries and discomfort. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment due to its complex deep work, but drinking plenty of water after the session will aid with the circulation and healing.
