SERVICESWhen most people think of massage, they think of the pampering, lighter touch massage that’s given at spas, resorts, and on cruise ships. While that style of massage is beneficial for relieving everyday stress, it just can’t help the many conditions that people have to deal with, such as :
- chronic neck pain
- back pain
- wrist pain from keyboard overuse
- old injuries from sports or automobile accidents
- limited range of motion in the neck, arms or legs, etc.
These conditions are typically caused by tension that is buried deep within our soft tissue.
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE is the process of applying various manual techniques to the soft tissue of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. Deep or light pressure can be applied to parts of the body or successively to the whole body, to heal injury, manage pain, increase joint function and psychological stress.
If one or more of the following apply to you … massage can help:
- lower back pain
- neck or shoulder stiffness
- tension headaches
- pain associated with poor posture
- muscle soreness from work
- sporting strains and aches
- build up of lactic acid after working out at the gym
- using pain killers and muscle relaxers that have harmful side effects
- pain as a result of surgery or injury
- nerve compression (carpal tunnel, sciatica)
- aching back from pregnancy
ATHLETES !!!
Whether you are a professional athlete, a community or school sports player, or you work out on your own, you are an athlete.
WHAT IF YOU COULD TRAIN WITH MORE INTENSITY AND RECOVER MORE QUICKLY?
Each type of sport places different demands on our muscles, tendon, and ligaments - and a sport-specific approach to treatment facilitates the healing process.
It's common to overuse muscles during extended training sessions and while competing. ATHLETIC /SPORTS MASSAGE provides a way to keep your muscles loose and your body flexible, so you can perform at higher levels in training - and achieve your highest potential.
Most non-professional athletes never consider how incorporating this simple element into their workout routine can help them feel better, achieve better results, and stay injury free....BUT massage is now universally accepted as a key element in any athlete's training regimen. IT IS the “missing link“ to an athlete reaching their peak performance.
Consider therapeutic massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.
