Massage Therapies:
Swedish Technique
My technique of massage blends smooth, gliding strokes with the Hawaiian technique of Lomi Lomi. This is combined with gentle kneading strokes to provide soft tissue manipulation and deep relaxation with varying degrees of light to deep pressure. Every body is unique; your muscle tissue responds in its own way. This is why I customize your massage according to your needs.
Therapeutic Massage
Used for chronic and long-term medical conditions. Lower back ache, painful neck and shoulder conditions, joint swelling due to arthritis or diabetes, hyper-contracted muscle tissue from over use, therapeutic massage brings comfort and flexibility. This type of medical massage promotes recovery in pre- and post-surgical procedures as well.
Increases resilience and flexibility for the athletic muscle. In case of injury, such as strains, sprains, or muscle tears—sports related or otherwise—massage will reduce swelling and decrease pain. Whether you are a professional or a weekend warrior, massage is essential for pre- and post-workout recovery and restoration. Let's get out there and play!
Adolescent Sports Therapy
Children work and play just as hard as we adults do. Their demanding practice schedule for the sport they love can take a toll on growing muscles, tendons, bone, and soft tissue. Sports therapy massage is key in preparation to prevent injuries and post recovery. Massage is also vital in the recovery of almost any sports-related injury. Massage will help keep damaging scar tissue from over forming at the injury site, hence not limiting the comfort and flexibility of the muscle, tendon, and soft tissue.
Kinesio Taping
This Japanese taping method differs from traditional sports taping by using elastic, lightweight cotton containing air circulation waves for breathability. I place the tape over and around muscle groups to assist and prevent over-contraction. This technique gives full support while still maintaining your full range of motion. It allows you to still participate in normal physical activities, while having support of the tape. I also use Kinesio Tape in the acute stage of rehabiliation. For example, i have found it to be most beneficial in cases of shin splints, ACL tears, plantar fascitis, low back pain and strain, thoracic outlet syndrome, (neck pain due to pinched nerve) tennis and golfers elbow, sprained or strained ankle, and much more. It helps prevent over-contraction of the muscle group while still allowing healthy lymph flow. It reduces pain by lifting the skin, as a result, pressure and irritation are removed from the neural and sensory receptors, alleviating pain. Kinesio Tape is not constricting or binding in any way. It is incredibly popular with my adolescent athletes, you can wear it in black, blue, pink and skin tone colors. It stays in place anywhere from 3 -5 days even with showering, sweat and full activity.
