Deep Tissue Massage (Back to Top)

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that is traditionally focused on site specific rehabilitation of muscles and connective tissues. It uses precision to address the site of muscle pain and might cover only a few areas of the body in an hour's time. It's great for injury rehabilitation, acute and chronic pain and improved range of motion and flexibility. 

Release of the muscles is achieved through trigger point therapy, slow compression and lengthening procedures. Shortened muscles can cause a decrease in blood circulation and inhibit lymph flow. Waste products stored in muscles can cause the muscles to become inflamed and irritating to nerve fibers thus causing pain. The internal toxicity to the immune system can cause disease. Muscle fibers that cannot lengthen are likely to cause injury. They tear at the musculotendinosus joint or where the tendons blend with the periosteum of the bone. Increasing circulation through massage helps the system to carry away waste and bring oxygen to the tissues.



Sports Massage (Back to Top)

Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. (Yes, this includes competitive fishing)!  Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term.  Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates.  It is 3 to 5 times more effective in combating fatigue than resting. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body’s natural immune function.

4 basic applications of sports massage: 

Pre-event Massage - This prepares the athlete for the exertion of all out competition. This is given 15 minutes to 4 hours prior to an event. The massage is short and stimulating, invigorating.  It warms and loosens muscles in order to increase performance and avoid injury. It's an adjunct to a proper warm-up.

Post-event Massage - This is given within the 1st hour or two after an event. This prevents delayed onset of muscle soreness and reduces the time it takes for the body to recover from exertion. It increases circulation, clears out metabolic wastes, reduces muscle tension and spasms, and quiets the nervous system. It helps flush from the muscles the lactic and pyruvic acids formed as a result of oxygen depletion.  

Restorative Training Massage - This is done during training to allow the athlete to train harder with fewer injuries. 

Restorative Massage - This is during rehabilitation to recover from injury more quickly with less chance of re-injury. Orthopedic massage techniques are a must here!

Stone Therapy delivers a profound expansion and contraction inside your circulatory system, improving the function of your lymphatic and immune systems, and enhancing your body’s self-healing mechanisms.  This style of bodywork takes you into deep states of relaxation, releasing stress and anxiety, detoxifying the body, and balancing your nervous system.



Energetic Biofeedback (Back to Top)

This type of massage uses the Tennant Biomodulator to electrically relax the muscle and help your immune system heal muscles and tissues. The Tennant Biomodulater is first set to the correct power for your body. Then the Biomodulator is massaged over the area where the muscles are tense or in spasm in order to achieve relaxation. Sometimes you may feel me rotating the Biomodulator over the problem areas or trigger points. The sensation should be pleasant and relaxing. After correcting one spot, we move on to the others. 


All areas of pain and disease have low voltage. They are acidic with little oxygen. The Biomodulator sends the area energy in order to correct the problems. This treatment is especially good for problem areas that just don't ever seem to go away with any other modalities. I've used this personally for 2 years. I love the results!

"..The foot bone's connected to the ankle bone...The ankle bone's connected to the shin bone... The shin bone's connected to the knee bone..." Needless to say, a little foot attention goes a long way to make the rest of the body feel good. 
Treat your feet to 30 minutes of rejuvenation and pampering! Start off with a soak and a hot towel wrap to warm and relax the muscles, open the pores and soften those rough spots.  Then add a nice moisturizing massage from heel to toe to relieve swelling, increase circulation and move out metabolic wastes that block your energy flow. You're feet will be so very happy!
