CONNECTIVE TISSUE THERAPY- Our bodies from head to toe contain a continuous network of fascia or connective tissue. This tissue encases each muscle and serves to support other tissues and organs. Repetitive motion, injury and some chronic illnesses such as fibromyalgia can all affect the healthy state of the fascia. Connective tissue therapy is a deep yet focused practice that effectively realigns the tissues and can relieve the body of many issues of soreness, or imbalance.
TRIGGER POINT THERAPY- Therapy focused on alleviating hypersensitive palpable nodules or lumps in a tight muscle. These nodules can be identified often with a local twitch response of when specific muscles are stimulated and can give rise to characteristic referred pain, tenderness, and other autonomic shifts (goosebumps, sweating).
REFLEXOLOGY- Reflexology teaches that a vital energy or life force circulates within the body. If this energy (or movement) becomes blocked, th body is affected. These energy blocks are reflected in the hands and feet. By using specific pressure techniques, blockages can be detected. Massage techniques used in reflexology are designed to dissipate energy blocks and break down palpable calcium deposits that build up. Through stimulation of both the circulatory and lymph systems, the toxins are encouraged to release and promote healing.
SHIATSU- Japanese for the word meaning "finger pressure", shiatsu uses hand pressure and stretching techniques to adjust the body's physical structure and connect with the energy via meridians to raise vitality and maintain good health. Sessions can either be given in full on a special mat on the floor and loose comfortable clothing are recommended or they may be incorporated into a table session. A series of Makko Ho stretches will be taught at the beginning of the session so the client is empowered with simple techniques that can later be practiced long after the session ends. A relaxing and rejuvenating form of bodywork that is powerful on the energetic level.
POLARITY THERAPY- A combination of deep and light pressure along with movement and stillness to allow the body to release tension more effectively and to allow integration of the various bodywork techniques already employed.
