Treamtment massage is work that is targeted to treat a specific condition and those caused secondarily by the bodies response. This is most often treatment for a fall or automobile accident and will employ any modality necessary to help you heal. Deep Tissue: Deep Tissue sessions are limited to an hour for a very good reason. They can be INTENSE. Any massage can cause some discomfort, but deep tissue can be more so as it's used to address longer term conditions at deeper musculo-tendon levels. I believe though that Deep Tissue should not equate to deep pain. I work very slowly into, and out of, the tissues to reach the depths needed to faciliate a tissue response. This allows the body time to adapt and relax as the depth increases. This helps to minimize any pain response reactions in the tissues. Massage is NOT a "no pain no gain" therapy.  Reiki / Energy : Reiki is a wonderful form of energy work that can be very affective. Reiki is not a form of massage but rather works with the bodies etheric energy system. The impact of successful work in this area can have a high imact on your physical and emotional states and promote some dramatic physical body level healing.  Standard Massage: I'm not sure what I do for a normal massage can be classified as Normal - this is why I call my work Dragon's Dance. It is often a ballet of movement - mine and within the clients body. The technique can combine elements of swedish, shiatsu, trigger point and other therapies. The goal of a standard massage is not to address any injury or to treat any condition. It's specific purpose to to allow the recipient to fully relax and just have no stress for an entire session. This often allows the mind to rejuvinate to the level that you can more easily cope with the daily activities of work, family and just living life. OnSite Chair Massage: Onsite work is wonderful for workplace environments or events. These sessions are on average 10-15 minutes in duration but sessions can go up to 30 minutes at request.  Om-OnSide: This form of bodywork can have HUGE impact on the body with almost no stress and is often incorporated into other sessions as needed. Alone, it allows the client to be clothed or in minimal wear as for a normal massage. The techniques, allow the joints and tissues being worked to be in a state of Hyper-relaxtation while they are being worked. This way, we're not working through the tissues as much as we're working under them. When a joint is taken to a point where the muscles can NOT contract or tense, then all motion comes from a point of balance and requires no force for either the recipient or practitioner. So if there is no pain in the joint/muscle during a treatment, the mind learns that much of the pain experience is at the MIND level. It will relearn what it means to move without pain. This allows the client to gain more depth of work than would normally be possible. So if you have any body clothing issues this is the massage than we recommend that you start out with. |
