Custom Therapeutic Massage

This type of massage involves the manipulation of soft tissues to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and promote overall relaxation. Therapeutic massage can be tailored to target specific areas of the body or to address particular conditions such as chronic pain, sports injuries, or stress-related tension. A variety of techniques including deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, myofascial release*, and trigger point therapy will be used to create a massage specific to your individual needs.

*Myofascial Release: Our entire body is covered by one continuous layer of tissue called fascia. Myofascial release is a modality of bodywork that directly engages the fascia through slow, consistent pressure with very little lubrication. The goal of this work is to lengthen the fascia which can help to increase mobility, relieve tension, and be supportive for those suffering from chronic pain.

Craniosacral Therapy and Somato-emotional Release

Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive, gentle type of bodywork. It focuses on the body’s innate healing mechanisms by addressing restrictions in the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This technique can improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and helps to release deeply held tension in the body’s connective tissues. Many people seek craniosacral therapy for conditions such as headaches/migraines, chronic pain, TMJ, fibromyalgia, anxiety, and trauma recovery.

Somato-emotional release is a therapeutic process that can naturally unfold during a craniosacral therapy session. Long-held emotional trauma is stored in the body, leading to symptoms such as pain, restricted movement, reduced energy levels and more. During a session, the inner wisdom of the client may signal that there are sufficient resources present to release some or all of the stored trauma. Dialogue may be used by the therapist to help facilitate and enhance this process. As a result, clients often experience profound calmness, a decrease in pain and a sense of relief.

Sessions are done while the client is fully clothed and lying on their back on a massage table. Loose fitting, comfy clothing is recommended.
