What is Therapeutic Massage Therapy? 

According to the American Massage Therapy Association

~MASSAGE THERAPY is a profession in which the practitioner applies manual techniques, and may apply
                   adjunctive therapies, with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client.

~MASSAGE is manual soft tissue manipulation, and includes holding, causing movement, and/or applying
                   pressure to the body.

What will my appointment be like?

Our bodies are unique and deserve unique attention to maintain health, or in a healing process.
Considering that the body is in a constant state of fluctuation each session will be a little different.
After discussing how your body is feeling and assessing the condition of the tissues, I will apply
appropriate techniques during each session.

Through these techniques your body can be encouraged  to begin a release pattern from stress and strain.
Although the session will be quiet, communication is encouraged from the client to ensure comfort.
Communication is vital to any massage session. Please advise me of any information that you feel is
important before, during or after your massage.

How often should I schedule massage appointments?

The benefits of massage therapy are best received through multiple treatments. The muscle tissue has a memory,
similar to a 'rubber band' response. During manipulation the muscle can relax and relieve tension.
After a massage session while you may feel great, the muscle tissue may  try to return to it's state prior to treatment.
With continuing therapy the muscle can begin to form a new memory of relaxation and improved posture.
Most clients report the greatest benefit with weekly, bi-weekly or monthly treatment depending on their
personal goals for pain relief and relaxation.

What is Chair Massage like? Is it like at the mall?

I use a massage chair that is fully adjustable and at times reminiscent of laying on a table. Although your knees will be bent, due to the design there will not be a great deal of pressure on your knees.
Typically the massages at the mall are based on Chinese medical massage, or Tuina, while I do utilize some of these techniques the massage is not the same.
The chair massage session will be in a therapeutic style not unlike a table massage. The versatility of the set up allows for a wide variety of range of motion techniques.
Often a client will lie on the floor for assisted stretching or manipulation of the soft tissues on the front of the body.
Clients will remain fully clothed during a session. Some clients prefer to wear shorts and tanks or sports bras.
