WellBody Massage Services

You may request a particular type of massage or I may recommend and incorporate any and all techniques that I believe will be beneficial to my clients.
 
Swedish Massage:

One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Generally this technique is considered a gentle, relaxing type of massage designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The disrobed client is covered by a sheet, with only the area being worked on exposed. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements, with the application of lotion, to reduce friction on the skin. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
 
Deep Tissue Massage:

Deep Tissue refers to a number of techniques that generally use greater pressure than Swedish Massage. Deeper techniques generally are focused on specific muscles and muscle tissue at different layers under the skin. While Deep Tissue is generally more aggressive in nature than Swedish, it is not necessary to use more pressure than my clients can comfortably tolerate. In addition, deep pressure applied gradually and smoothly is much less disconcerting than when applied abruptly. I always use technique designed to provide the maximum benefit with the maximum comfort. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques.
 
Trigger Point Therapy:

Trigger point myotherapy is a noninvasive therapeutic modality for the relief and control of myofascial pain and dysfunction. Muscles that are chronically stressed or tense can create small “knots” or areas of tenderness called “trigger points.” These knots are sections of muscle fiber that are locked in a contracted position, which constricts the entire muscle and blocks the supply of fresh blood and the elmination of waste. This irritates the surrounding nerves and causes pain and tenderness. Trigger Point Therapy focuses on these tender areas with sustained, focussed pressure, to soften the muscle, restore normal circulation and flush the waste out. Like a good stretch, it is often painful (ideally 6-8 on a pain scale of 1-10), but this brief moment of pain can provide long lasting pain relief.
 
Sports Massage:

Sports Massage is the application of various massage techniques to enhance athletic performance. Sports massage is applied to athletes to help them train and perform free of pain and injuries. Massage therapists blend classic Swedish strokes with such methods as compression, pressure-point therapy, cross-fiber friction, joint mobilization, and stretching to meet the special needs of high-level performers and fitness enthusiasts. Sports Massage can reduce the risk of injury for an athlete, as well as accelerate the body’s natural restorative processes should injury occur.
 
Pregnancy Massage:

Pregnancy massage is the massage of pregnant women (prenatal) and women after giving birth (postpartum). It address the special needs of pregnant women such as discomforts in the low back, feet, and legs. This form of massage usually consists mainly of Swedish Massage techniques that are modified slightly to take into account the common aches and pains of pregnancy. Positioning of the client is also modified as the pregnancy progresses and the abdomen enlarges.
 
Hot Stone Therapy (Additional $20):

Heated stones have been used for massage and healing practices in many cultures since ancient times. Hot Stone treatments have become quite popular recently. The specifics of how the treatment proceeds varies a great deal from one practitioner to another. I use smooth, oiled stones that are heated in a water bath, and use them for massage (in the palm of my hand) and placed on the body for overall relaxation. Many people love the deep feeling of relaxation they get from Hot Stone Therapy and the thermal properties of the stones provides deep relaxation of chronically tight muscles (with less massage pressure) and increased circulation.
 
Chair Massage ($1 Per Minute):

Chair massage focuses on key areas of the back, neck, shoulders, head, and arms. This type of massage is performed in specially designed chairs and without the need to remove clothing and sessions last for about 10-20 minutes. Research has shown that a 15 minute chair massage can reduce stress, increase productivity in the workforce, and reduces absenteeism.
 
Ear Candling ($30):

Ear candling is a natural and non-invasive method in which hollow ear candles of cotton cloth and paraffin wax are placed and held by the therapist in the ear canal while the opposite end of the candle is lit. Through a process called convection, softer waxes and toxins are drawn out of the ear to relieve the painful effects of chronic headaches or sinus conditions, ear infections, allergies or vertigo, as well as minor hearing loss due to excessive earwax build up. (Allow 15 minutes per candle - recommended 2 candles per session)
