Therapeutic Massage
Just one massage can help with:
Benefits of massage are cumulative. Therefore regular scheduled massage can give you long term pain and stress relief, and help you manage life.
A customized therapeutic massage may include some or all the following techniques:
Swedish massage is the baseline massage technique used in most massage sessions. It consists of long flowing strokes called effluerage, some petrissage (kneading,), and sometimes tapotement (tapping or light percussion.) The overall objective of Swedish is to relax and soften tissue.
Trigger Point Therapy: this bodywork technique involves the applying of pressure to tender muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body. Sometimes massage and trigger point therapy are performed together.
Deep tissue massage is used to alleviate tension and soreness in the deeper muscle layer. For some this modality can be too intense if it is not done correctly. Superficial muscle tissue needs to be softened first before the layers underneath can be addressed.
Shiatsu, Acupressure, and Reflexology : Applied pressure is used along the meridians to unblock energy congestion which increases blood flow to the area and the flow of Qi. The intention is to calm the sympathetic nervous system and tonify the parasympathetic. The calmness of the parasympathetic nervous system is associated with the Traditional Chinese Medicine concept of Yin (silent, still, slow, cool, dark, receptive, solid organs, and the metaphor of water), while Yang is its polar opposite (loud, active, fast, hot, bright, expressive, hollow organs, and the metaphor for fire). The root of all disease is believed to be hidden deep within the Yin. Pressure may be applied with the pads of the thumbs or fingers, with the knuckles, palms, and the heels of the hands, elbows, forearms, knees, or feet. In the case of reflexology, the energy points that I work are on the feet. These techniques help the body release tension, calm the nerves, boost immunity and help promote healing.
Vibrational Resonance: Vibrational Sound Healing is modeled on the Acutonics® system developed at the Acutonics Institute of Integrative Medicine in New Mexico, USA. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine practices developed over the past four millennia, sound is applied to acupuncture points and meridians with precision-calibrated tuning forks. The Acutonics tuning forks are designed to produce specific frequencies and musical intervals that create predictable and repeatable therapeutic effects. For example, case studies have shown that Acutonics forks tuned in unison and applied along the spine help alleviate back pain, and the musical interval known as the perfect fifth can help resolve deep emotional issues.
There are literally hundreds of therapeutic applications of the Acutonics system, with tuning fork protocols designed for a variety of disorders and disharmonies, such as:
chronic pain, joint/muscle pain, post-op/cancer pain
stress in both adults and children; PTSD
allergies and asthma
depression, anxiety, and addictions
digestive issues
sleep issues
wound and bruise healing
chemotherapy detoxification
psycho-spiritual issues
energy blockages
Acutonics draws on clinical experiences and observations, scientific research, the spiritual and wisdom traditions of both Eastern and Western medicine, Jungian psychology, observational physics and astrophysics, celestial mechanics, and sound healing principles, resulting in powerful treatments that heal the body, the psyche, and the emotions.
