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 .
