Swedish Massage
The term "Swedish Massage" refers to several therapy techniques that relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones.
Swedish Massage shortens recovery time from work outs or other muscular strain by cleansing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It also stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable.
Swedish Massage stimulates the skin and soothes the nerves themselves. This reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.
Myofascial Release
Trained by John Barnes, PT
Myofascial Release represents an important dimension in the health care profession. It is a type of soft tissue massage which incorporates stretching and massaging of the connective tissues or fascia.
Myofacial Release is used as a preventative method or to promote the healing of an injured, stiff, or painful muscle and to improve range of motion. This therapy is also effective in the treatment of chronic fatigue, severe tension and anxiety as well as repetitive stress injuries of the muscular-skeletal system.
Sports Massage
Trained by Bill Musser, RN, BS, LMT
Sports massage is a special form of massage typically used before, during, and after athletic events. The purpose of this massage is to prepare for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, relieve swelling, reduce muscle tension, and promote flexibility to prevent injuries.
Sports massage can help prevent those nagging injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement whether the person is an athlete or a once-a-week jogger.

On-Site Chair Massage
On-Site, or portable chair massage, can be brought to your place of business, home, or special event. If more than one station is required, I can coordinate a team of therapists.
Sitting in a massage chair opens up the back muscles, relieves strain on the neck, and provides a gentle respite for eyes usually focused on a computer screen. Even 15 minutes of massage can increase circulation and energy levels and can help keep the body injury free.
Consider chair massage when you're planning your next party. What better way to create a memorable evening than to give your guests the gift of massage.
