What will massage do for me?

     Swedish Massage is a combination of long strokes, deeper kneading and small friction strokes.  I also use other massage techniques during your session.  I use a combination of strokes to help you relax and to relieve stress.  I will make every effort to help you to be comfortable during your massage.  I also combine Music Therapy and Aromatherapy during the massage.  I use a technique to relieve painful muscle tension without causing you any discomfort.  My clients have reported to me that they have experienced excellent relief from painful muscles after one session with me.

     After a massage, most clients feel very relaxed and freedom from aches and pains that have built up from months of tension or repetitive activities of everyday life.  After you massage you may experience an increase in energy, pain relief, increased mobility and reduced stress.

     Massage can help to heal injuries such as tendonitis and can help to relieve symptoms from fibromyalgia.  Massage reduces inflammation by increasing circulation bringing nutrition to the injured areas and helps to relieve headaches and upper and lower back discomfort.  Massage promotes restful sleep, improved balance, improves skin tone, helps to prevent pressure soars in older adults, speeds healing from injuries and surgery, increases energy, increases mobility in joints, can help to relieve swelling from excess water retention, increases mental alertness.  Massage can help to relieve and break the chronic pain cycle.

     Massage is often used to prevent injury and to lessen injuries after they have occurred from sports related activities.  Massage is often used in pre-event to warm up muscles and this helps to prevent injuries and post-event massage can be calming and relaxing, easing pain and soreness and reducing inflammation.  

     I offer thirty and sixty minute massage sessions.  I also offer Herbal Body Wraps to help rid your body of toxins.
