Body Sense Modalities

Circulatory ‘Swedish’ Massage
Long flowing strokes are combined with kneading, friction, active and passive joint movement with the use of oil or lotion on the skin. These promote general relaxation and improve circulation of the blood and lymph fluid in the body.

Sensory Repatterning
This method of bodywork taps into the rhythm of the individual body that is receiving. It uses gentle rocking motions and resilience to help spread awareness to all cells of the body. Slow passive joint movement is also utilized to remind the body of the full potential range of motion. The client has the option of remaining fully clothed.

Deep Tissue Sculpting
Using a series of deep compressions, pressure is slowly increased as the muscle tissue relaxes and opens up. This work can help release chronic pain and muscle tension. Sessions usually focus on one or two areas of the body. This work can be done directly on the skin without the use of oil or lotion.

Neuromuscular Therapy
This work helps to break the pain cycle by releasing trigger points within muscle tissue. This is done by applying concentrated pressure to irritated areas in the tissue. This therapy is often combined with Circulatory massage to help calm and reset the nervous system.

Sports Massage
Therapeutic massage focusing on the muscles associated with specific physical activities. These techniques can be used pre or post event and after injury or trauma to the area.
