BODYWORK & MASSAGE SERVICES
I offer a variety of therapeutic treatments influenced by both Eastern and Western modalities.
Thai bodywork is performed primarily on a floor mat, but there are several modalities that can be performed on the table including Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Prenatal.
Aside from Prenatal, there is no need to choose one specific modality for your Table Massage session; I can cater to your particular needs with a medley of techniques.
SWEDISH MASSAGE
Performed on the table, the primary goal of this modality is to relax the entire body by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes towards the heart. It is beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
THAI BODYWORK
Traditional Thai Massage, or 'Thai Yoga Massage', is a centuries old bodywork art performed on a mat on the floor. It blends Indian Ayurvedic principles, assisted yoga postures and the manipulation of energy pathways called Sen. Essentially, Thai Massage is facilitated yoga, accompanied by compression, pulling, stretching and rocking.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Performed on the table, Deep Tissue is a technique that is used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. The intent is to access the deeper layers of muscle and fascia (connective tissue). It involves firm pressure, slow technical strokes and stretching/flexing techniques essential for breaking up scar tissue and dissipating "knots" that can disrupt circulation, cause pain, limited range of motion and inflammation.
PRENATAL MASSAGE
Performed on the table, primarily in a side-lying position, Prenatal Massage focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of Pregnancy. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue. Plenty of pillows and bolsters are provided to ensure maximum comfort.
HOT STONES
Smooth basalt stones, heated to a soothing temperature, used to melt away both physical and mental tension. Best coupled with a Swedish Massage but can also be incorporated into Thai Bodywork.
GUA SHA
An ancient Chinese bodywork that involves scraping over the skin with a massage tool typically made out of a soft stone such as jade or quartz, to improve circulation, dissipate "knots" and break up scar tissue.
*Although not painful, Gua Sha often leaves redness and/or bruising
CUPPING
An ancient Chinese bodywork, that involves the use of special cups that suction to the skin. The reverse pressure stimulates the flow of blood in stagnant areas, loosens and lifts muscle and fascia, and creates an avenue for "toxins to be drawn out of the body.
*Our studio uses silicone cups.
*Although not painful, cupping often leaves redness and/or bruising
