Before the treatment

Up on your visit to the clinic, your appointment will begin with a health history/consent inform take, followed by the necessary assessments to determine any causes of complaint's if needed. I am a true believer in listening to each person of what they believe is the contributing factors of their problems and encourage each client to share in the assessment process. After all concerns are address, I will share my treatment plan for the massage, and post massage I will provide a detailed on-going treatment plan if required.

All massage treatments end will hot or warms steam towel for the removal of oil and for the finishing touch of relaxing if desired.

Swedish Massage

The most widely recognized massage is the Swedish massage. The Swedish massage techniques commonly used as a light pressure style of massage strokes. Swedish massage uses five styles of strokes. 

The five basic strokes are efflurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotment(rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber or with the fibers) and vibration/shaking. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness and improving function in individuals with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks. Swedish massage is also very effective with chronic constipation problems.

Clinical studies report that Swedish Massage can effectively reduce low back pain and the effectiveness can last for as long as 15 weeks. One study reported that Swedish Massage caused reduction in salivary cortisol indicating its role in management of stress and improvement in mood.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles. It is used for chronic aches and pain and tension areas such as a stiff neck, upper back and low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.

Some of the strokes are the same as those used in Swedish massage, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain in order to reach the deeper-layer of muscles and the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles).

Cupping Massage

The best of both world…

Cupping therapy is ancient form of alternative medicine in which the Therapist puts special cups on the body for a certain amount of time to create a suction. The suction helps bring the needed blood flow to the local muscle tissue. Cupping combined with massage therapy is a very highly effective way to break down chronic scar tissue, deep muscle tension, which helps relieve pain and improves muscle/joint mobility.

Depending on the treatment plan, this treatment will begin with 10-15 minutes of massage therapy to the areas where the cupping will be applied. This will allow the muscle to properly loosen up and be prepared for the cupping to be applied. After the approximate time of the placing of cupping, the continuation of deep tissue massage is continued, which allow a very effective way to remove stubborn scar tissue and deep chronic tension that possible could have been accumulated for many years.

Please note: that cupping will leave a bursing appearance on the surface of the skin, which is one of the side effects of the treatments. If you are currently taking blood thinner medication it is not recommend to do cupping.
