What is a Chair Massage?
A chair massage is a brief five to ten minute massage in which you are fully clothed. Chair massages are done in a special portable chair designed to relax you while you are sitting down. A few times a month, C.J. is in the office with her chair offering complementary massages.
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is designed to reach the deep portions of the thick muscle fibers. Its purpose is to loosen the fibers of the muscles and release both toxins and deeply held patterns of tension.
What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is also designed to reach the deep portions of muscle fibers and to allow an athlete to perform better, both before and after competition. Its purpose is to loosen muscle fibers and release toxins, which can help an athlete recover faster after a hard workout. Sports massage prior to competition can rub out tension and knots, allowing the athlete to go into their performance with less muscle stress and strain.
What is Neuromuscular Massage?
Neuromuscular massage utilizes specific massage therapy including pressure of trigger points to recover from acute and chronic pain syndromes. This approach brings about a balance between the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It enhances the functions of joints, muscles, and movement.
What is Thai Massage?
Thai massage is an interactive manipulation of the body using passive stretching and gentle pressure along energy lines. Practitioners apply pressure along meridian lines with their thumbs, hands, and feet to stimulate the movement of energy in the body, and in addition, move and stretch their clients in Yoga-like poses to free muscular and joint tension. Thai massage improves flexibility, reduces tension, stimulates internal organs, and balances the body's energy system.
What is Pregnancy Massage?
Pregnancy massage relieves tensions and aches caused by the extra weight and shift in the center of gravity to the body, but it reduces swelling, soothes the nervous system, acts as a tonic, reduces fatigue, and enhances energy.
