Trigger Point Therapy:   This type of therapy targets the sore, irritable, tight spots in muscles called trigger points.  These trigger points can cause the whole muscle to be tight and painful, or even restrict movement in a joint.  They can also "refer" pain to areas elsewhere in the body.  In Trigger Point Therapy the Massage Therapist carefully seeks out the trigger points in muscles and uses specific compression techniques which allow the trigger points to release.  The Trigger Point Therapy technique is often employed as part of NMT or Deep Tissue procedures and is a great method for relieving muscular pain and tension. 

Ortho-Bionomy ®:   Ortho-Bionomy is a non-invasive, gentle form of bodywork based on the work of Osteopathic physician Arthur Lincoln Pauls.  It is very effective in pain management and relief, correcting structural imbalances, and helping relieve chronic stress.  Ortho-Bionomy works by engaging the body's own corrective reflexes within the neuromuscular system using gentle movements to positions of ease, and light compression of joints.  Ortho-Bionomy may be used alone or incorporated into a more traditional massage therapy session.  I've found it to be quite effective, safe, relaxing, and therapeutic.  For more information about Ortho-Bionomy

Natural Reflex Therapy ®:   Natural Reflex Therapy (NRT) is a unique blending of reflexive therapy approaches including Ortho-Bionomy, Positional Release, Reflexology, and Chapman's Neurolymphatic Reflexes.  NRT helps reduce pain and dysfunction by gently stimulating specific reflex points on the body and feet and safely moving bones, muscles, and joints into reflex positions.  NRT is effective in helping a wide variety of conditions from sports injuries to headaches, scoliosis, whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and much more.  NRT sessions provide needed relief from pain and stress, are relaxing, and are usually done with the client fully clothed.

Pregnancy Massage:   Pregnancy massage has gained tremendous popularity by helping the mother-to-be remain comfortable during her pregnancy and in many cases have an easier delivery.   Pregnancy massage relieves muscle spasms and cramps associated with the stress of extra weight bearing and physical changes that occur during pregnancy.  It also reduces stress and teaches the mother to relax.  Relaxation is one of the keys to labor and delivery.  The gestation process is enhanced through increasing blood circulation, lymph circulation, reducing edema, increasing cellular respiration. Pregnancy massage also provides emotional support and physical nurturing which may be passed on to the baby.  Pregnancy massage also assists in reducing the stress in the weight bearing joints and the muscles, helping to enhance breathing capacity which is needed during labor and delivery.  Pregnancy massasge may be used in conjunction with other types of therapy including Neuromuscular Therapy and Ortho-Bionomy.

Onsite Chair Massage:  Chair massage, or Seated massage, is performed while the client remains fully clothed and seated in a specially designed massage chair.  The massage chair allow the Massage Therapist to massage the client's head, neck, back, and arms in a typical 10-15 minute session.   The high portability of the massage chair and the fact that client's are fully clothed means that massage sessions can be completed nearly anywhere.  Chair massage makes a great gift for employees or special clients.   Receiving chair massage in the office has been shown to reduce stress and increase employee productivity.  Chair massage is also a popular attraction at trade shows and conventions.

Positional Release Therapy:   Positional Release Therapy (PRT) is a gentle and exceptionally effective form of therapeutic bodywork based on the work of Dr. Laurence Jones and Dr. Arthur Pauls. Positonal Release Therapy is used to relieve pain, reduce the effects of trauma, and release held tension patterns in the body. During a typical Positional Release Therapy session the therapist treats the client while he/she remains fully clothed and lies on a comfortably padded therapy table. The therapist moves the client to pain-free positions and holds them while applying gentle compressions to joints and tissues, allowing the body to release tension and pain. Sessions are gentle and relaxing, but have very therapeutic effect. Positional Release Therapy may be done as the full treatment, but may also be included with other types of massage and bodywork.
