Windhorse Massage for Relaxation
Relax with this classic Swedish massage. Rhythmic, gliding strokes encourage the release of muscle tension and the flushing out of toxins.
Windhorse Therapeutic Massage
Focusing on specific areas of muscle tension, this treatment is excellent for repetitive muscle tension, injury and areas of chronic stress. It is a combination of Swedish massage and deep tissue technique, utilized to reduce muscle tension and encourage circulation.
Massage
Massage is a healing art; an art of rejuvenation, of wellness, and of relaxation; an art that heals both the body and the spirit. (Click here for Benefits of Massage)
For this art to be a complete and nurturing experience, several elements need to combine together into a delightful whole: tranquil music, a calm, nurturing, peaceful environment that blends beauty and natural surroundings, and the skilled techniques of the masseuse. When combined together, these elements create a sacred environment that facilitates healing and restores energy to the body.
The stresses of everyday life create tension in the body. During massage, body tension is gently reduced and relaxed, thus revitalizing the body, the mind and the spirit, the whole being. Once revitalized, the body can then breathe and move more freely, creating a more whole, aware, relaxed and alive body. The mind may be open to possibilities and the spirit may be listened to and heard.
In order to revitalize your being to its utmost, I use a combination of both eastern and western techniques when giving you your massage. These are the techniques I specialize in:
|
Swedish massage is the foundation for western technique. Long gliding strokes, kneading and friction are applied to the soft tissue of the body using oil or lotion relaxing and revitalizing sore muscles. |
|
Therapeutic Touch is a western technique developed by Dolores Krieger, RN. Therapeutic Touch is a simple technique to soothe and calm the body and is particularly helpful for the ill or injured. |
|
Acupressure, an eastern technique developed in Japan, is finger pressure applied to specific body points to balance and strengthen the vital energy of the body and spirit. |
| |
|
|
Sports Massage consists of techniques designed to reduce inflammation and assist in healing areas of injury. |
|
Deep tissue reaches below the superficial fascia to reduce muscle knots and tension using moderate to light direct pressure.
|
Be kind to your body. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, exercise and receive massage.
