My sessions tend to not follow a specific routine, allowing the client and my hands to tell me where to focus more attention as the session progresses. Having been trained in a variety of techniques (and picking up additional "tricks" on an ongoing basis), I don't try to limit the content or direction of a massage session to any single modality, rather letting the session flow from one flavor of technique to another as the situation calls for. Following are a few brief descriptions of some styles of massage I will be combining during most sessions.
A dynamic massage mixing a blend of:
| Deep Tissue |
|
| A focused technique for the treatment of overused and tight muscles. Deeper layers of the soft tissue are affected by slowly working specific muscles and performing range-of-motion stretches. |
| Swedish Massage |
|
| A more general technique involving flowing, gliding strokes and the gentle lifting, kneading and compression of the skin and muscle for more of a relaxing, stress relieving experience. |
| Myofascial Techniques |
|
| A specific treatment with the intention of elimination of restrictions in the fascia (the thin tissue "wrapping" muscle, bone and organs in the body. With injury, overuse and other trauma, the fascia can become "bound up" and will therefore restrict proper activity of the muscles. These techniques, although performed slowly, can be uncomfortable feeling (often described as a burning or sharp feeling) but have profound results in restoring function. |
Full body massage sessions last for 1 hour at a rate of $60.00 per session. If you are interested in booking a session for more or less time, please feel free to ask and I'll see if I can accommodate your request into my appointment schedule.
On occasion, my schedule allows me time to travel for "out calls" to home and office appointments. If this interests you, the base 1-hr session rate is $80.00 with an additional $5.00 charge for each 5-mile increment beyond the first 5 miles. You will need to have an open floor area measuring about 10' x 8' for me to set up the table.
