Medical Massage:
Medical massage is a form of manual therapy that focuses on treating specific medical conditions or injuries. It is often prescribed by healthcare professionals as part of a treatment plan. Unlike a “relaxation” massage, medical massage is targeted and aims to address specific issues such as pain, inflammation, restricted movement or muscle imbalances. Techniques like deep tissues massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and stretching are tailored to the clients needs. Medical massage sessions are goal oriented with the intent to decrease pain, improve range of motion, enhance circulation and increase the speed of recovery for soft tissue injuries.

General Wellness:
This type of massage is designed to help the client unwind and promote an overall sense of well-being. It typically uses light to medium pressure and focuses on calming the nervous system rather than specific medical issues. Techniques used include long flowing strokes, gentle kneading, light friction and minimal use of deep tissue pressure. Relaxation based massage can reduce stress, promote better sleep, relieve mild muscle tension and stiffness and boost the body’s natural healing processes. Ideal for individuals looking to destress, first time massage clients or those seeking a gentle experience.

Here are some services that are complimentary with any session and can be incorporated together or separately.
Intraoral Massage: Specialized massage technique that focuses on the muscles inside and around the mouth, jaw and face. This technique helps with issues such as headaches, facial trauma, whiplash, TMJ disorder/ grinding, jaw pain, speaking and chewing dysfunction. I always wear gloves and a mask while working inside the mouth and use a gentle approach. (Billable under the code 97124 NPI: 1518382134)
Cupping: A traditional form of therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The cups can be used in a stationary fashion or be moved around the skin while suctioned. Benefits include pain relief, improved circulation, detoxification and relaxation.
Aromatherapy: A holistic healing practice that uses essential oils to promote physical and emotional well-being. I use two methods - inhalation and topical application.
Hot Stone: Includes the use of heated smooth stones to promote relaxation and relieve muscle tension. The heat penetrates deeply making the muscle layers more pliable for deeper therapy without the discomfort of high-pressure massage.
Cold Pack Therapy: Involves applying cold to an area of the body to reduce pain, swelling or inflammation. Application may come in the form of ice packs, cold stones and ice cups.
