Increase the Benefits with Frequent Visits
Getting a therapeutic massage can do you a world of good. And getting therapeutic massage frequently can do even more. This is the beauty of bodywork. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money for massage at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider therapeutic massage therapy appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, along with proper nutrition, regular exercise, stretching and time for relaxation.
 
Therapeutic Massage Therapy Services Offered (but not limited to):
There are many different types of massage therapy.  Each has its own focus and benefit.  One of the advantages of massage is that several different modalities can be combined into a single, customized session.  It isn't always necessary for you to decide beforehand which type is appropriate for you.  Most often, a number of different techniques are used in a single session.  Before each session, Diane will discuss goals and areas of discomfort and then determine the best course of treatment.
 
Relaxation
Relaxation massage draws from a number of different techniques, including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Shiatsu, and Myofascial Release.  All of these techniques work together to relax muscles, increase circulation and restore a sense of balance and harmony to the recipient.
 
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue massage works with layers of soft tissues in the body to relax, lengthen and release longstanding holding patterns.  It focuses less on relaxation and more on structural integration and the release of muscle restrictions.  Deep tissue work is effective in the alleviation of chronic pain, bringing about improved posture, increased flexibility, and greater ease of movement.
 
Assisted Stretching
Assisted stretching can be incorported into your massage sessions.  Diane will work with you to not only soften and lengthen tight muscles using massage techniques, but also apply gentle stretches for neck, shoulders, back and hips, helping to maintain elongation and subtleness in the soft tissues.
 
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a bodywork technique that involves the applying of pressure to tender muscle tissue, in order to releive pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body.  The purpose of Trigger Point Therapy is to eliminate pain and to re-educate the muscles into pain-free habits.  After several treatments, the swelling and stiffness of neuromuscular pain is reduced, range of motion is increased, tension is relieved and circulation, flexibility and coordination are improved.
