Here are some modalities that will be used in your massage:
Thai- This is based on the theory the body is made up of seventy-two thousand sen, or energy lines, of which ten hold top priority. Thai massage also involves peripheral stimulating, meaning it acts as an external stimulant to produce specific internal effects. This includes stretching and pressure to created energy flow.
Craniosacral- A gentle, noninvasive method of evaluating and enhancing the function of a physiological body arrangement called the craniosacral system. Craniosacral therapy encourages the body’s natural healing mechanisms to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, dissipate the negative effects of stress, and enhance health and resistance to disease.
Myofascial Release- Myofascial release is the three-dimensional application of sustained pressure and movement into the fascial system in order to eliminate fascial restrictions. Myofascial release is an effective therapeutic approach in the relief of cervical pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, neurological dysfunction, restriction of motion, chronic pain, and headaches.
Trigger Point Therapy- Treatment consists of trigger point compression, myomassage, passive stretching, and a regime of corrective exercises. Trigger point is a noninvasive therapeutic modality for the relief and control of myofascial pain and dysfunction
Swedish- One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation.
Neuromuscular Therapy- This comprehensive program of soft-tissue manipulation balances the body’s central nervoussystem with the musculoskeletal system. Based on neurological laws that explain how thecentral nervous system initiates and maintains pain, the goal is to help relieve the pain and dysfunction by understanding and alleviating the underlying cause.
Aromatherapy- The use of essential oils (extracted from herbs, flowers, resin, woods, and roots) in body and skin care treatments.
*Please note that your massage therapist has been trained to use techniques from these modalities and does not specialize in any of these modalities by itself.
