Massage Modalities

Active Release Technique

ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement-based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. 

These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles. ART enhances range of motion and the general healing process with very specific myofascial release while taking the affected extremity or area through range of motion either actively or passively.

Therapeutic Sports Massage

Sports massage may include various techniques to address specific client needs, including: Neuromuscular, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Active Isolated Stretching, ART, Shiatsu, and/or Thai. Hot Stones or ice therapy may also be involved. Read more about Therapeutic massage and ART for athletes.

Deep Tissue or Neuromuscular Massage

Massage executed for a specific purpose involving rubbing, shifting of tissues, stripping of tissues, and/or stripping and relief of trigger points (specific sore soft tissue points found throughout the body).

Muscle Release

A technique developed by Michael Young involving direct massage with stripping of the muscles while taking the affected muscle through range of motion. (Stripping muscles uses long, firm, deep strokes to actually re-injure the muscle in order to promote proper healing.) The client is passive while the therapist does whatever movement is required to achieve optimum results.

Swedish Massage

A technique designed to relax the client and enhance a feeling of well being. Swedish can be regarded as therapeutic because it can ease blood pressure, enhance circulation and increase lymphatic flow. This technique has a well-deserved reputation as “soothing the fevered brow.”

Hot Stone Massage

The use or employment of hot stones (smooth volcanic rock) heated just enough to really relax the muscles by either specific placement on the body or used actively in massage by the therapist. Occasionally Valerie will use hot stones as heat therapy prior to “going in” to a tight muscle group for relaxation purposes.

Thai Table Massage

Traditional massage utilizing Thai technique that involves compression, rolling, joint mobilization and deep stretching. This massage is both relaxing and therapeutic. Interestingly for those that are modest, clothes may be worn without sacrificing a good therapeutic result.

All of us will age. We can’t escape that as we grow older. However, we can choose to age well with intelligent exercise, therapeutic massage, and conscious nutrition. These are the three basic elements of fitness.
