Medical Massage
Medical massage is an outcome based massage. It is primarily the application of specific treatments targeted to the individual's problem areas with specific outcomes being the basis for treatment. The focus of the medical massage treatment is applied mainly to the parts of the body related to injury or painful areas.
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic massage involves therapeutic assessment, manipulation and movement of soft tissues (primarily around joints) to resolve pain and dysfunction. It is a multifaceted approach that restores the body's structural balance, significantly reduces acute soft tissue pain, reduces tension and improves flexibility. Orthopedic massage helps individuals recover from soft tissue injuries, surgery and chronic pain conditions.
CBD/CBG Massage
CBD/CBG massage is beneficial for targeting pain, reducing inflammation, promoting calmness and a feeling of well-being. It is great for reducing soreness from deep tissue bodywork. CBD and CBG are cannabinoids that are beneficial when used together, enhancing the effect of each other. The CBD/CBG oil and cream that is used within my practice is of high quality, responsibly sourced and lab tested. Both the oil and the cream are infused with dried chamomile and calendula to add healing terpenes to make an outstanding product.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage techniques are applied to access the deeper tissues and fascia as well as address underlying issues in the body related to muscle tension and chronic pain. Deep tissue massage is used primarily to treat musculoskeletal issues. It helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue and adhesions which can help with injury rehabilitation, reducing inflammation and increased range of motion.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a type of therapy geared toward active people and the particular stresses they place on their bodies. Techniques are applied to help avoid injuries and enhance their overall performance. Sports massage concentrates on increasing motion and flexibility, relieving muscle soreness, promoting a quick recovery from muscle overuse.
Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a highly specialized massage therapy session that is specifically designed to meet the unique and changing needs of someone in treatment for cancer and those who have had a history of cancer treatment. The adaptation of this type of massage session allows a qualified therapist to safely and conscientiously work with an individual who is experiencing complications of cancer and cancer treatment. Any individual who has had cancer, received cancer treatment, including those in active treatment, those in recovery or survivor-ship and as well as those at the end of life, are best served by a massage therapist who has received appropriate training in oncology massage.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy uses gentle touch to improve the function of the cranial system by affecting the membranes and fluid that surround the brain and spinal cord. It works to relieve tension in the body's soft connective tissue (Fascia). Imbalances in the craniosacral system can cause dysfunction in the brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves.
No-Fault Massage Therapy
Personal Injury Protection (also known as PIP) is often referred to as No-Fault Insurance. It can help to cover you and your passengers' medical expenses in the event of an auto accident, regardless of who is at fault.
If you have been involved in an auto accident and have suffered injuries, No-Fault insurance will pay for you to receive massage therapy at no charge to you. It is considered a covered benefit when considered medically necessary. No-fault massage can help treat a number of different injuries that can result from an auto accident, such as whiplash, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, joint pain, nerve pain, strains, sprains and spasms. It can also help with concussion symptoms, headaches, migraines, jaw pain, vertigo and much more. Massage therapy is a valuable treatment option that can help you recover from your injuries.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life force which is given to a system of natural healing. The practice of Reiki is a hands on technique which may be done fully clothed or during a massage session. It is a modality for stress reduction and relaxation that helps promote healing by restoring harmony to mind, body and spirit. By using gentle touch, the energy in your body will be balanced, thereby encouraging healing and relaxation. If there is a longstanding imbalance it may take more than one session to obtain lasting relief from symptoms, since many changes may have to take place before the cause is reached.
Reiki is used in many settings including hospitals, hospice as well as private practices. Reiki is spiritual practice, not religious, and is practiced in many countries all over the world.
