Residential In-Home VisitsChoose from 60 and 90 minutes per person. Formerly known as "house calls" residential in-home visits are perfect for relaxing in the comfort and convenience of your own home. A massage therapy session is ideal in the evening preparing the body for ultimate relaxation before retiring, or first thing in the morning to jump start your day. A 10'x7' space is requested to ensure optimal working space for the therapist and to achieve best results for the session as well as a CD player in the room/space to play your favorite relaxation music or choose from the therapists collection. This is also an opportunity for you, the client, to create a relaxing space in your home with candles, incense, aromatherapy, music or whatever your needs are for a fantastic therapeutic session. Client and massage therapist will speak at length before therapists scheduled arrival. Swedish massageChoose from 45, 60 or 90 minutes. Probably the most well known and
most widely used treatment in massage therapy is the Swedish massage.
Swedish massage feels good, is relaxing yet invigorating. It affects
the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health
and well being. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the
oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles, i.e. RELAXATION!
During a this treatment you can expect to have the following body parts
addressed while the therapist uses a variety of techniques: Face, Scalp,
Ears, Neck and Upper Chest, Chest (for men only), Arms, Hands, Abdomen,
Legs, Feet Gluteals and Back. Therapeutic (Deep tissue) massage (Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy) Choose from 45, 60 or 90 minutes. For muscle damage from an injury,
such as whiplash or back strain. These techniques help loosen muscle
tissues or "unstick" the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held
patterns of tension, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen
circulating properly while relaxing and soothing the muscle. Because
many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after
a myofascial session aiding in elimination of toxins from the body. Ashiatsu Oriental Bar TherapyTMChoose from 60 or 90 minutes. Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy (AOBT) is an adaptation of an ancient form of barefoot massage using deep compression gliding strokes over the body with the therapist's feet. Gravitational force is combined with centrifugal and centripetal (transmitting nerve impulses toward the central nervous system) movements to bring about a structural change in chronic soft tissue damage. This application provides deep relaxation and stimulates the lymphatic system of the body. Ashiatsu uses bars over the head for balance and cream is used to glide over the body. Ashiatsu use a series of gliding strokes and pressure of the feet, a "push, pull, pumping" effect is created on the intervertebral disc space. This deep compression on the soft tissue around the joints allows the nucleus pulposus (inside the disc) to assume its central position within the annular fibers and relieve irritations on the spinal nerve caused by inflammation and swelling. This technique is performed with smooth, flowing, gliding deep foot pressure. Mobilization above and below the joints naturally takes place due to the deep compression to surrounding muscle. Ashiatsu combines the best elements of traditional Thai massage, barefoot Shiatsu from Japan and Keralite massage from southern India. Ashiatsu is indicated for the following conditions: Ashiatsu is contraindicated for the following: Sports massageChoose from 45, 60 or 90 minutes. To help prevent athletic injury, keep the body flexible and heal the body should injury occur. Vibration, percussion, compression techniques as well as streches may be used during a sports oriented massage. Sports massage may also be received pre, during and post sporting events. Active Isolated StretchingChoose from 60 or 90 minutes. Active Isolated Stetching (AIS) is proven to increase flexibility to or beyond normal range of motion without the risk of tear or pain unlike other stretching methods that could actually damage the muscle vs. improve it. AIS improves circulation and oxygen in the body, reduces pain from previous injuries and enhances athletic/physical performance. AIS is the process by which one muscle is stretched or isolated at a time for a period of 2 seconds with the aid of the therapist. HOW and WHY Active Isolated Stetching works... Even within 15 minutes you will see a dramatic increase in flexibility and range of motion. After a complete hour and a half session your body will feel completely rejuvenated. Pregnancy massageChoose from 45, 60 or 90 minutes. Massage during and after pregnancy can be very beneficial to both the mother and child (father's too!). During a prenatal massage the goal is the same in any other session, to relieve discomfort with in certain areas of the body, with focus on comfort for the mother while on the massage table. Pregnancy massage is generally given in a side-lying or semi-reclining position with several props and pillows ensuring the utmost comfort for the mother. NOTE: A pregancy table with a cut out is NOT RECOMMENDED for pregnancy massage, as this positioning puts additional strain on the fetus and mother. CranioSacral TherapySessions may span 45-75 minutes. CranioSacral is a technique that uses an ultra light touch to sense the craniosacral rhythm for finding and correcting cerebral and spinal imbalances or blockages that may cause sensory, motor or intellectual dysfunction. The head, abdomen, upper chest and sacrum (low back region) are some of areas worked with during a session. ReflexologyTreatment usually lasts between 30-45 minutes. Reflexology is a gentle form of therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and sometimes to the hands. Reflexology is based on the belief that there are reflex areas on the feet (and hands) corresponding to all the parts of the body including major organs. It is believed that applying pressure to specific areas on the feet, hands and ears can affect internal organs and body systems, and therefore promote good health. The therapist stimulates and works these organs and systems through the reflexes areas on the hands and feet, applying pressure to the feet with thumb and fingers. Pressure is applied to clear out congestion and restore normal functioning and health. Massage Instruction for couplesAn approximately 3 hour workshop. Download an TaoMassage Instruction brochure. Chair massageRanges from 10-30 minutes. Massage of the upper body, while fully clothed and seated in a special portable chair.
