Deep Tissue/Myofascial Massage (new clients by referral only)
The type of deep tissue bodywork I do is based in structural work. It is meant to be therapeutic. It is generally focused more on specific issues, areas of distress and helping create a more functional body. Whether you woke up with a kink in your neck or have long standing pain in the body, deep tissue work can help. I use the term myofascial to describe what I do. I generally use very little lotion, no oil ever. This helps create drag in the connective tissue to allow better change in the tissue. When oil is used, although it may feel nice, it does not have the same effect as skin on skin contact to alter scar tissue, fascial adhesions and deeper layers of the body. I will sometimes ask for movement from you if I think it will make the technique I am using more effective for you. Although this work can sometimes feel uncomfortable, it should never feel overly painful. I am not here to bruise you or make you feel beat up! Just to release tension and adhesions which can sometimes feel intense.
