Deep Tissue Massage (Back to Top)

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don’t get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Deep Tissue Structural Release (Back to Top)

Structural Integration is based on 3 basic ideas about the human structure.
(1) Most people are out of alignment with the forces of gravity
(2) The body functions more efficiently when it is lined up with the earths gravitational field
(3) The soft tissue of the body can be molded to bring the body back into gravitational slignment
Results are achieved by manually manipulating the muscles and soft connective tissue, called fascia. Our bodies are constantly effected by the forces of gravity. hen we are out of balance, gravity drags us down. We will work to free negative holding patterns and fascial restrictions to move the structure back into balance. With controlled pressure and direction the fascia is softened and lengthened allowing the body to right itself effortlessly in gravity.
Currently I am certified in the release of the hips and the chest/abdomen.
