Types of Massage

Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT): A type of massage characterized by a very thorough and specific examination and treatment of soft tissues of the body. This technique is based on the interplay between the nervous system and the muscular system. Important principles considered in NMT are: Ischemia, Trigger Points, Nerve Entrapment /Compression, Postural Distortion and Disfunctional Biomechanics. Neuromuscular Therapy is a very effective technique to address soft tissue pain and disfunction.

Sports Massage Therapy: A type of massage therapy which is concerned with optimizing the performance of the body. Sports Massage techniques are geared towards increasing circulation, reducing restrictions to movement and insuring optimum scar tissue formation in the event of an injury. Although usually applied to athletes, sports massage is equally beneficial to the "civilian" population. Utilizing Sports Massage can help ensure that one is better prepared to take on the garden ... or the marathon!

Swedish Massage / Stress Reduction: A type of massage therapy that is characterized by movements such as stroking, kneading, shaking and tapping applied superficially to the body in a general manner. This is the type of massage that can take you to " La La land" --- a favorite of many people, and a welcome occasional treat for those addressing more significant issues using deeper specific techniques.

In additon to the above, I incorporate aspects of many different types of bodywork and manual therapies that I have studied over the years in my work. Among these influences are: Russian Massage, Prenatal Massage, Tragger Work, Myofascial Release, Hanna Somatics Movement Integration, Connective Tissue Massage, and Active Isolated Stretching .
