Style of Massage

Orthopedic Massage

This style of massage is about analyzing and understanding what causes a given injury or condition. Be it knots and restrictions from bad posture or limitations brought on by an injury. Working to determine the cause and then approaching it with the appropriate type of massage therapy is the heart of orthopedic massage.

Myofascial Release

This style excels at unsticking gummed up muscles that feel more like rock than tissue. It is a slow deep techniques that doesn't use any oil so as to allow the practitioner to sink into and move through the tissue directly. The goal of myofascial release is to break up the fine collagen filaments that the body lays down in order to "shore up" or restrict an area in response to poor posture, injury and good old day to day life.
