Bodywork

Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue bodywork has more to do with the depth of the tissue than the depth of the pressure. Effective deep tissue work need not be painful but can be extremely effective. I have specialized training to work with difficult to access tissues including intraoral, iliopsoas/diaphragm (deep abdominal), subscapular, pelvic floor and anterior cervical in a safe and effective way.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot stones and hot towels can add a luxurious tone to any massage, even if it is clinical in nature, such as for injury rehab. Your nervous system responds and can accept and integrate differently with different stimulus. The varied temperature and texture of hot stones and towels invite a level of cooperation from your nervous system that is surprisingly effective.

Myoskeletal Alignment

With training in Advanced Myoskeletal Alignment techniques and Restorative Exercise and education I can reeducate your tissue toward its optimal alignment and educate you toward movement in your day to day activities that can keep you free from pain.

Ashiatsu

Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy, inspired by ancient forms of Eastern barefoot techniques, is a western adaptation of barefoot massage. I utilize my body weight and bare feet to apply a deeply relaxing and therapeutic massage. Gravitational force is combined with centrifugal and centripetal movements to induce deep relaxation, decrease pain and inflammation and create structural change in chronic soft tissue damage. Parallel wooden bars are used above for support, balance and safety.

IASTM

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, sometimes referred to as Gua Sha, Graston or therapeutic scraping. Very effective for scarred, adhered or congested tissue.

Advanced Myofascial Techniques

A comprehensive system for increasing options for movement and refining the proprioceptive sense.

Red Light Therapy

NIR (Near Infrared) and visible red light are applied using FDA approved Class II medical devices to improve circulation, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Red Light Therapy can provide effective relief and improved healing for many problems that can not tolerate massage or even touch such as very inflamed tissue, open wounds or recent incisions and neuropathy.
