Gale John Massage Lmbt

Swedish Massage
John uses a combination of techniques that are relaxing and integrated with techniques that are therapeutic. He uses Swedish massage, connective tissue massage, trigger point work, energy work, cranial sacral techniques, his Towel Stretch, and coconut oil and essential oils to do the best he can for each client.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue does not imply a painful experience. It should really be called Specific Tissue. In Deep Tissue, more detail work is required. During the discussion before beginning this type of massage John will determine where you have pain, discomfort, and limited range of motion, the type and intensity of massage that best suits your needs, or wants. Then he will explore the tissues in the area of interest to you. There may be knotted up muscles (trigger points) that are hard to the touch relative to the tissues around it. The knots or trigger points might be painful all the time, or when you move, or they may only be painful when someone presses on them. The feeling of fullness may be because the tissue is retaining fluid, or because the skin, connective tissue, and body fat matrix is packed too full for the size of the outer connective tissue container (Superficial Fascia). He would then use a combination of the techniques listed below to release the skin Fascia and deep muscles, including knots in the muscles and tenderness in the attachment points.
Sports Massage
Full Body Massage
Is a classic full body massage that systematically relaxes the whole body. The strokes are performed in a soothing continuous manner with the intention of allowing you to get in a rather meditative state of relaxed consciousness. In a strictly Swedish format you do not stop the flow of motion to work for any length of time on a sore or tight muscle. You would rather almost sneak up on it by making a few extra passes, but not stop dead on it and focus directly on a painful spot. Generally the massage will start out with a Swedish format to discover the relative tightness throughout the body, and then transition into more detailed work.
Reiki Massage
Shiatsu Massage
Neuromuscular Therapy
John studied Deep Tissue/Neuromuscular Therapy with Burt Gornto, of Columbia, SC. Burt Gornto trained many Massage Therapists in Columbia before the state of SC required mandatory training, certification, and licensing of Massage Therapists.

Myofascial Therapy
Connective tissue massage is similar, or provides similar results to myofascial release ect. Connective tissue massage not only releases skin and superficial fascia, it also helps release the deep muscle under it. This happens because the nerves that supply the skin and fascia also supply the deep muscles under it. When the deep muscle tightens up, the nerves trigger the skin and connective tissue to crinkle up. ( It feels like corrugated cardboard underneath the skin.) When you release the skin and connective tissue, the nerves trigger the deep muscle to release too. It may also release the casing of connective tissue around the muscle, thereby allowing the muscles more room for the fibers to release. Connective tissue massage gave rise to my towel stretch and my hot wet towel stretch.
Acupressure
John can come to your hospital room or home and do energy work on the whole body, and do some massage/ acupressure on places a safe distance from the injury site. On successive days he can do more as the patient can tolerate contact closer to the injury site. The energy work and massage specific to the situation speeds the recovery process and improves the flexibility of the tissue around the surgery site.
Acupuncture
After doing Reiki for several years, and being rather closed about exploring any other energy healing modalities, John was inspired by one of his clients to look into Chinese acupressure massage, and then Medical Chi Gong. John began learning where the meridians ran along the exterior of the body and how to work with them to improve a person’s health. When he took a four day Chi Gong healing work shop in Asheville, NC he got a quantum leap forward in his energy flow that his wife Martha and his clients could feel as a positive change in his work. For the last two years John has been reading books on acupuncture to learn more about the Chinese/ Japanese healing philosophy and acupressure. He recently took a class in Shiatsu by Jim Sandonato of Asheville, NC.
