Massage Toolbox
Clinical Massage Session
Clinical Massage is an outcome-based massage. By combining techniques from my massage therapy toolbox my bodywork sessions are designed to ease pain, rejuvenate use and minimize possibility of further injury.
I specialize in conditions such as Chronic Pain, Neck & Low Back Pain, Sciatica, Whiplash, Carpal Tunnel, Chronic Pain, Tendonitis, Headaches, Chronic Systemic Inflammatory Conditions, Strains & Sprains as well as Surgery(pre|post).
Clinical Massage utilizes a combination of the following bodywork therapies:
- Deep Tissue massage
- Swedish Massage
- Lymphatic Drainage Techniques
- Myofascial Techniques
- Neuromuscular Facilitation
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Guided Breath work
- Cupping Massage
Hospice & Palliative Session
Hospice & Palliative Care Massage is much lighter work. It's nurturing, slow & comforting
A primary goal of hospice & palliative massage is, typically, to induce the relaxation response, bringing peace and respite to both patient and family members. Massage therapy for someone near the end of life looks and feels different from a spa treatment. Some people stay clothed or lie in bed. Others sit up in their wheelchairs.
Hospice & Palliative care massage addresses the client's symptom issues, the side effects of various treatments, the physical, psychological, social and emotional consequences of living with a terminal illness. Massage often promotes a greater sense of connection between the mind and body complexes.
In the massage industry it’s possible to craft your massage style into a very unique and customized skill set or as I like to consider it my Massage Toolbox. My interests lean towards skills that promote self-care, restoration, clinical applications & comforting techniques. Below are a selection of skills I am honing to best help my clientele.
