Swedish Massage
Pregnancy is a special time for a woman, though the changes can be uncomfortable. Ligaments relax to allow your bones to accommodate your growing child, which in turn shifts your alignment and can stretch and stress your muscles. Swedish massage and the deeper techniques can relieve that tension and help you feel more at ease. Gentle exercises designed to help your body accommodate to these changes can also help.
Deep Tissue Massage
Laura’s been my massage therapist for several years. I can no longer go without her myofascial and deep tissue work after the hard workouts I put this old body through. She’s the best I’ve experienced. – Robert, DC
Sports Massage
The broad strokes used in Swedish massage help warm and lengthen muscle groups, while deep tissue massage techniques release painful areas within individual muscles. Sports massage is one of the following deep tissue techniques that involves gently freeing muscle fibers to remove wastes that accumulate during activity. If adhesions are found that restrict movement or cause pain, quick strokes across the muscle fibers are used to release them. Orthopedic massage also uses gentle cross fiber strokes to loosen healthy, but tight, tissue around an injury to encourage blood flow and faster healing. Neuromuscular therapy techniques release tender, trigger points, which are caused by tension or injury that can pinch nerves and refer pain to parts of the body farther down the nerve’s pathway. Corrective suggestions are offered so that you can support the improvements made during our session together.
Craniosacral Massage
Myofascia is the connective tissue specific to muscles that provides them their tensile structure, which in turn gives us the flexibility we need to move. It is continuous through the musculoskeletal system, linking muscles to one another across joints and attaching them to bones, creating something like a flexible chain when the muscles are in motion. An imbalance can occur to the myofascial chains through injury, poor posture, lack of movement, scoliosis, myofascial conditions, and more. The imbalance tightens the myofascia, restricts mobility and results in some muscles being overworked while others are underworked and become weak. This ultimately causes discomfort and may result in injury.
Neuromuscular Therapy
I have studied massage therapy techniques like Swedish and sports orthopedic massage, neuromuscular therapy, as well as pre-natal massage to help alleviate your discomfort and lengthen your muscles. My training in structural integration can help to release your tight fascia so you find your natural alignment. I will give you stretches and exercises to support the changes you make.

Manipulation Therapy
Structural Integration is a form of manual therapy that releases tight, shortened fascia supporting the muscles of our posture and movement patterns to improve skeletal alignment and increase mobility. The work can be done as a series to balance the entire body or particular elements of the series can be used to correct specific problems.
