Treatment Techniques
I specialize in a number of well-known therapeutic techniques.
I will recommend specific techniques depending on your needs, and of course you are welcome to request a particular technique. Because every patient is different every treatment regimen is unique. A combination of eastern and western methods are used for optimum results.
Acupressure is often referred to as “acupuncture without needles.” Using the same theory used in acupuncture, acupressure involves stimulation of the energy points to release stuck energy and allow the smooth flow of chi.
Shiatsu is a deep tissue form of the Japanese healing arts. This technique comprises a full body treatment involving rhythmic finger pressure.
Sports massage is another well known modality that is offered for pre-event and post event. Please note I cannot list all the modalities that are available and if you would like to know if I am certified in a modality that you would like to try please call for more information.

Swedish Massage:
This is a very relaxing and therapeutic bodywork. It combines varied strokes and is used to improve the circulation in the body. The benefits include pain relief, decreased stress levels and greater flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage:
This massage aims to relieve tension in the deeper tissue layers. This is an effective method of relieving chronic stress areas from such things as postural distortion, repetitive motions and lingering injuries. Soreness is common after treatment and clients need to remember to drink lots of water for flushing the system of toxins released during the treatment.
Pregnancy Massage:
For the client looking for some relief due to the traumatic bodily changes of pregnancy. This massage is specifically designed for the pregnant woman and is a time of care for the changing needs of the mother's body.
Medical Massage:
As the name implies this is a modality that focuses on medical based need. After a referral from a medical professional certain areas are treated specifically to resolve the issues of the condition. This massage enhances the bodies self healing process and reduces the time of recovery.
