Book this if you have one or two small areas of concern. Therapeutic massage uses a general warm up, specific treatment focus (using many various treatment techniques in which your therapist is trained) and flushing of the tissue after. Tissues cannot be rushed into submission.

Sports massage techniques are aimed at getting your muscles, joints and supporting structures moving again. The use of active kinetic cupping, Graston, Rapid neurofascial reset, facilitated stretching or kinesiology tape may be involved in your treatment. Wear shorts as you may need to be in various positions during active movements.

Initial Assessment is an overview of various tests to determine the possible cause of your pain or dysfunction. Special tests may be utilized to pin point the direction of the treatment. Approximately 45 mins which includes a short treatment with a plan to move forward.

Try RAPID Neurofascial reset at the end of your massage session to help resolve those pesky issues that keep you in pain. Rapid is a deep movement based technique that is done at the end of the session to be the most effective. Give it a try and see if it is the thing that can get you back to pain free. 45 mins of the session will be therapeutic massage, 15 mins will be RAPID at the very end.

Myofascial release is the missing piece to resolving restrictions in the body that haven’t responded to the normal treatment techniques. The fascia or connective tissue that becomes bunched, tightened or restricted by poor posture, scar tissue, surgical procedures, or past trauma or injury needs a completely different approach. This technique is slow, patient work that often results in prolonged, profound lasting changes.

Book this if you are interested in the gentler approach to your pain. Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds everything in the body. Releasing restrictions in one area can improve many others areas since everything is connected.

Specialized massage with special considerations pre-post cancer treatments. Additional time needed to understand the broader picture and treatment approach to your ongoing care.

The same therapeutic treatment you enjoy but with special considerations for your pregnant belly (yes we have that comfy pregnancy pillow everyone loves< and sorry, no you can’t take it home with you 😊) and if laying this way is uncomfortable we can switch on the fly to a sidelying position. You are supported throughout your pregnancy. We usually like to start at 9 weeks but if your doc oks us to start sooner, please let us know. We know all the areas to avoid to support you through those many months of gestation.

What is RAPID Neurofascial Reset? RAPID is a type of massage that treats aches and pains by focusing on the nerves rather than muscle tissue. It’s a lotion-free technique, so the client remains clothed, and the treatment is movement-based to encourage the client to perform active motion. When you feel pain , that sensation is coming fro nerves that are excessively sensitive.. When the brain processes this sensory information it reacts by kicking off an inflammatory response to start healing: you immune cells come flushing in and cause swelling to occur to protect and clean the area, but sometimes they aren't flushed out and end up contributing more to that increased nerve sensitivity. The purpose of RAPID is to reset nerve hypersensitivity back to neutral. RAPID excites the nerves to re-create the inflammatory cascade, a process that the body uses to heal, tissue can slide and glide when they are less inflamed and more hydrated. The high intensity of the technique causes a release of a natural neurotransmitter causing an analgesic effect. This, along with the client’s active movements allows the body to downgrade pain and reprogram sensory information processed by the brain. This then causes an immediate change in how the body responds to what it’s now feeling. It’s for this reason that treatment lengths are shorter and the results last longer. Movement and return to activity are highly encouraged after a RAPID treatment to reinforce the changes created by the body. RAPID doesn’t physically alter tissues, it’s just changing the information from the nerves, so it’s able to be used for many conditions and contributes greatly to faster healing. Young and old alike can benefit from this amazing technique. Come dressed in comfortable clothing as you would for yoga.

Shockwave uses high amplitude sound waves to break through dense scar tissue and bring in circulation to those deep areas where healing has been blocked. Shockwave can be a bit of a misnomer when it comes to this modality. While the name indicates some sort of shock sensation when being used, it actually feels more like being tapped over and over again by a ball pen hammer! Shockwave uses acoustic waves that lead to faster, as well as long-term healing and tissue regeneration. The accusative wave carries high energy to the targeted tissue. There, it promotes regenerative and reparative processes. Some of the processes include: New blood vessel formation Reversal of chronic inflammation Stimulation of collagen production Breakdown of calcifications Decreased pain (via substance P dispersion) Release of trigger points Shockwave can be used for many diagnoses, including but not limited to rotator cuff injuries, calcific tendinosis, tennis/golfers elbow, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. While the treatment can be uncomfortable, it is not painful. Treatment can range once every 7-10 days between treatments, depending on your condition and tolerance to the Shockwave therapy. Typically 8-10 treatments will be needed, however that may change depending on your specific needs. Does this sound like something that could help you? Or do you have more questions?
