Manual Therapy Services

Manual (or Massage) therapy is important because it promotes overall well-being by relieving muscle tension, reducing stress, and improving circulation. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, massage therapy supports both physical and mental health, making it an effective tool for managing various conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, and muscle injuries. Below is a list of services I provide as a certified Manual Therapist:

Sports Therapy (i.e. Sports Massage) 

Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to improve athletic performance, prevent injuries, and aid in recovery. It focuses on manipulating soft tissues, targeting muscles used in specific sports activities to enhance flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and speed up recovery from strenuous physical exertion. This type of massage is commonly used by athletes before and after training or competitions.

Myofascial Release Therapy 

Myofascial release therapy is a specialized form of bodywork that targets the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, to relieve tension and pain. Applying gentle, sustained pressure to specific areas helps release tightness, improve mobility, and reduce discomfort caused by muscle restrictions. This technique is often used to treat chronic pain and improve flexibility.

PNF Stretching/Mobility Work 

PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) stretching is a technique that combines stretching and contracting muscles to improve flexibility and range of motion. It typically involves a cycle of stretching a muscle, contracting it against resistance, then stretching it further. This method is often used in physical therapy and sports training to enhance muscle flexibility and performance.

Pregnancy Massage (TBD) 

Pregnancy massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to support the unique physical and emotional needs of pregnant women. It helps relieve common discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and stress by using gentle techniques that are safe for both the mother and baby. This therapy promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and enhances overall well-being during pregnancy.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is a popular form of massage therapy that uses gentle, flowing strokes, kneading, and circular movements to relax muscles and improve circulation. It focuses on promoting overall relaxation, reducing tension, and easing stress. This type of massage is ideal for those seeking a calming, therapeutic experience.

Deep Tissue 

Deep tissue therapy is a massage technique that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue to relieve chronic tension and pain. It uses slow, firm pressure and deep strokes to target areas of tightness, helping to break down adhesions and improve muscle function. This therapy is especially beneficial for treating muscle soreness, stiffness, and injury recovery.

Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu massage is a Japanese therapy that uses finger pressure, along with stretching and kneading, to stimulate the body's energy flow (known as "qi" or "chi") and promote balance. By applying pressure to specific points, it helps relieve tension, improve circulation, and restore the body’s natural energy. This technique is often used to reduce stress, alleviate pain, and enhance overall well-being. It can also be performed over clothing for those who are uncomfortable with undressing.
