Myofascial and MTP Therapy

Comprehensive Myofascial Therapy employs additional protocols within your session time. Let us know if you prefer 75 or 90-minute session.

This technique is often used to treat clients recovering from injuries and/or experiencing pain and discomfort from repetitive stress motion. It helps in reducing pain, increasing the range of motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Fascia encases muscles and more in the body. Adhesions may result from injury or surgery. Two top causes for fascial restrictive effect on your mobility as in "Feeling stiff or tight.". Additional work is done to address muscles, tendons and ligaments in this massage. Myofascial techniques will specifically seek to release tension in this fascia-connective tissue. You may have home exercise to do at home. 

Muscle Trigger Point Therapy employs additional this specific technique within your massage session time. This technique focuses on stimulating and releasing “trigger points” knots in your body.  Trigger points are tender areas of tension treated in a manner that is similar to acupressure, except they occur in the belly of the muscle tissue rather than along the energy pathways of the body. Trigger points produce symptoms such as jump sign and referral sensation.  These ‘knots’ are build up of metabolic waste, often due to a combination of physical, mental, and emotional stress.  During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques intended to release your trigger points and restore healthy tissue. Communication between therapist and client help to relieve and minimize pain/discomfort in the session.

This comprehensive process, though uncomfortable at times, yields lasting effects and can provide relief. Homework for the client to do post session may be given to sustain the benefit of the therapy. Three sessions are recommended to resolve more complex and/or long-term conditions. While Trigger Point work will be the focus of the session one can expect warming, stretching, and joint mobilizations as part of the session as needed.

Scar Tissue Therapy

Expect your scar tissue session to focus on the damaged area and associated structures, not only the scar. How massage can benefit client's has much to do with how long since the injury, the type and density of the scar and where one is in that process. Treatment will aim to give the general massage benefits including circulation of blood and lymphatic flows. We will directly treat, where appropriate, the actual scar tissue and associated structures  tried and true techniques.

• reduced scar height, depth and/or thickness during remodeling of collagen fibers 
• reduced numbness and itching
• increased range of motion with functional movement
• improvement and pliability of the area

As scars heal,  there are several factors that can cause long term effects. Our clients are treated to minimize long term  restrictive effects on the form and function of the scaring at various stages of one's recovery. 

Corporate & Workplace Events

Corporate & Workplace Massage Therapy

The benefits of massage in corporate settings have become increasingly popular and research supports it.  Bodywork reduces absenteeism, increases productivity and creates both incentive and reward for employees. Corporate massage is proven to increase morale and productivity. A great perk for large and small businesses and even at conferences.

Staffers receive the massage in a specialized ergonomic chair or professional massage table which is brought by the therapist to your location. The massage is done over the clothing so that one can enjoy a brief session that can relieve areas of discomfort expediently without the need to disrobe. This is convenient and easy to manage with a busy work schedule.

Because there are a number of considerations in designing your Corporate or Workplace Event, it is required that a meeting and possibly a site visit actually happen. There we can establish actual costs based on your event specifications. Here is a brief list of items for event planners to consider:
