Massage Services & Rates

These are the different types of massage therapy I offer

Deep Tissue Massage

This is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation Massage relieves stress and tension in your muscles and will leave you with a sense of well-being. It achieves this because of the general benefits of massage: it improves your circulation, so your organs and skin get more oxygen; it moves fluid through your lymphatic system. A relaxation massage encourages your body to digest its food, and get rid of its toxins. It will help you to sleep better. This type of massage will also help un-knot any muscles, soothe aches and sprains and encourage the skin to heal minor abrasions.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage addresses the needs of the athlete. The athlete and therapist focus on specific goals during the off-season, during athletic training, and during competition.The benefits of Sports Massage are:

• Balances muscle groups and soft tissues of the body, reducing the chance of injury during training and competition.
• Shortens recovery time between workouts, allowing greater training intensity.
• Improves range of motion and muscle flexibility, resulting in improved efficiency, power and performance.
• Increases blood flow, which improves the supply of nutrients to the soft tissues and helps elimination of metabolic byproducts of exercise, resulting in less discomfort after extreme efforts.

Medical Massage

Medical Massage is performed with the intent of improving conditions or pathologies that have been diagnosed by a physician. A wide variety of modalities or procedures are utilized to focus the treatment based on the diagnosed condition.

Delivering medical massage care requires advanced training in clinical and orthopedic massage techniques, pathology and contraindications, medical communication and documentation, insurance billing, professional ethics, and legal issues.

Insurance Billing Rates for practitioner submission of claims differ from the Standard Rates for clients that pay by cash, check, or credit card. The Insurance Billing Rates conform to guidelines published for physical medicine reimbursement by the insurance industry.

Pregnancy Massage

Offering relief from lower back pain, shoulder tension, joint aches and even stretch marks. Pregnancy Massage is useful during the 9 months of a low risk pregnancy and can include specific light massage, acupressure, reflexology, myofascial release and others.
