MASSAGE

 

I like to utilize different modalities of massage during your treatment depending on how your muscles and tissues respond. The most recognizable modality of massage is Swedish, which uses long, smooth, gliding motions to help relax muscles. Other techniques such as kneading, friction, tapotement (rhythmic tapping), etc., can also be used to help muscles release tension and relax.

 

CUPPING

 

For certain treatments, I sometimes utilize a method called cupping, which creates negative pressure by creating a vacuum in a treatment cup, lifting away tissue from the body. This effect increases blood and lymphatic circulation, relaxes muscles and draws stagnation.
