EXPERIENCE:
MODALITIES:
-
Basic Reflexology – massage
based around a system of points in the hands and feet thought to correspond, or
"reflex," to all areas of the body.
-
Clinical/Therapeutic Massage – involves the
manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate
pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress; and, to promote health and wellness.
-
CranioSacral Therapy II – provides the foundation
to understand the crucial craniosacral system and its relationship to illness,
pain and dysfunction. Also helps therapists develop light-touch palpation
skills to access and release subtle restrictions in the body. Examines the
craniosacral system in relation to other physiological body systems. Also
enhances ability to conduct whole-body evaluations.
-
Deep (Hot) Stone Therapy – utilizing heated stones to
soften tight muscles, trigger points, and soothe chronic muscle pain while
lessening discomfort during therapy. Also used with Swedish relaxation
massage to de-stress and relax with the added warmth from smooth stones being
pressed against the skin.
-
NeuroMuscular Therapy – is a
thorough program of recovery from acute and chronic pain syndromes which
utilizes specific massage therapy, flexibility stretching, and home care to
eliminate the causes of most neuromuscular pain patterns. This specific and
scientific approach to muscular pain relief will help to bring about balance
between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. NMT enhances the
function of joints, muscles and biomechanics (movement) and it releases
endorphins, the body's own natural pain killers. It can be part of a
comprehensive program, complementing all other health care modalities.
-
Swedish Relaxation Massage – a system of long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more
superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive movements of
the joints.
