While we recognize the wonderful stress-reducing benefits of full body
relaxation massage, we realize that a full body session only allows a few
minutes per area of the body, which does not give the length of time needed
to address holding patterns and soft tissue dysfunctions.
Most sessions are focused on 1 to 2 problem areas so as to devote
enough time to make a significant physiological improvement each session.
We also do not believe in the “no pain no gain” rule, in fact quite the
opposite. While many patients need deep tissue, we do not feel that adding
trauma to the body is helpful, and if a patient is in pain while being
worked on, the soft tissue will resist the treatment. We believe in going
only as fast as the body allows, not forcing. Each patient is treated
individually; we do not use routines.
Sessions are available in 60, 90 or 120 minutes.
