Restorative Touch Therapy

Massage Therapy can allow you to:

    •    Treat yourself to calm, quiet relaxation
    •    Loosen and relax stiff, tight, and sore muscles
    •    Stretch and strengthen sore, tired muscles
    •    Empower yourself during the healing process
    •    Relieve tension and lower blood pressure
    •    Improve range of motion on injured joints
    •    Ease the symptoms of Fibromyalgia
    •    Reduce frequency and severity of Migraines
    •    Decrease the effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
    •    Aid with the physical and psychological effects of Cancer
    •    Reduce the discomfort and stresses of pregnancy

 My treatments follow the osteopathic principles that the body is a unit, which has instinctive mechanisms for self healing & repair.  I therefore do not perform massage techniques which attempt to force change upon the body.  This type of massage can create an innate resistance to the therapy, and reduces the efficacy of treatment.  Instead I work in conjunction with your body’s own healing responses to facilitate a deeply penetrating, pain free muscle release.

While every massage varies depending on your specific needs, sessions generally combine manual therapies and positional release techniques that gently lead the muscles into relaxation.  These techniques are extremely powerful, and have immediate effects. So though I do not perform what is traditionally considered a “deep tissue” massage, by working with your body, my work is inherently deep.
