Please read on ... ******************************************************************************************** There are over 80 different types of massage therapy. In all of them, therapists press, rub and otherwise manipulate the muscles and other soft tissue of the body, often varying pressure and movement. Massage Therapy is the manipulation of the body's soft tissue by kneading and stretching muscles with the intention of inducing relaxation while moderating/amelioating pain and/or discomfort. Trained and certified or licensed Practitioner's artistic hand strokes rejuvenate the mind and body while eliminating stress, scientifically. Literally, Massage Therapy is a combination of art and science. Massage Therapy terms outlined for your information: •Swedish Massage is what most people think of when they think of therapeutic massage. A combination of pressure and gentle movement over and around the muscles creates a warm and relaxing feeling in the body. It is our most popular style of massage. •Deep Tissue Massage is often mistaken for a very vigorous, "hard" or firm massage. Actually, deep tissue work is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct pressure or friction applied across the muscle grain.
*NMT (Neuro Muscular Therapy) is a thorough program of recovery from acute and chronic pain syndromes which utilizes specific massage therapy, flexibility stretching, and home care to eliminate the causes of most neuromuscular pain patterns. This specific and scientific approach to muscular pain relief will help to bring about balance between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. NMT enhances the function of joints, muscles and biomechanics (movement) and it releases endorphins, the body's own natural pain killers. It can be part of a comprehensive program, complementing all other health care modalities.
*Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion
