Therapeutic Massage

Massage Therapy is an effective tool for a wide variety of conditions and situations, including:

• Injury Recovery (reduce pain and swelling, increase movement, restore function sooner)
• Relaxation, Rejuvenation, and increased sense of Well-Being
• Restrictions and Pain Relief
  
• Improved sleep
• Immune System Support
• Whole-body Integration
• Digestive Support (constipation)

Each massage is tailored to address the individual client's situation, and several modalities may be utilized in one session.

If possible, treatments take place on the massage table or shiatsu mat, assuring client comfort and ease of access for the practitioner. If need be, modified treatments can be given bedside.

Certain conditions may require clearance from a physician before massag therapy can begin.

Organic cotton sheets, washed with environmentally safe and hypoallergenic detergent, are used for table and mat treatments.

Pure Jojoba oil, proven to be well tolerated by people with allergies, is used unless otherwise discussed, leaving your skin well nourished without feeling greasy.

Hot water bottles or compresses may be used for client comfort and therapeutic application.

If you prefer music with your treatments, your favorite soothing music CD or one provided by the therapist can be used.
