The Connected Body

Massage Therapy is a healing touch and one of the oldest healing therapies.

Did you know that muscles have memory? That sometimes we "train" our bodies, unknowlingly to have certain postural holding patterns. Women, for example typically carry a heavy purse on one shoulder the majority of the time. To keep the shoulder strap on, the shoulder is hiked up. This becomes habit and before you know it, one shoulder is higher than the other. Men, on the other hand, typically sit on a fat wallet. This misaligns the hips often causing back or shooting leg pains. 

Other conditions affect our bodies as well. We all know that an automobile or sports accident can cause whiplash and/or low back pain. But whooping cough or severe vomiting can leave muscles hurting, too. Medical conditions like Parkinsons, Muscular Sclerosis, PTSD and Fibromyalgia all are very hard and unforgiving on one's body. Massage therapy can help alleviate pain and give a sense of renewal, even if just for a period of time.

~Frequently Asked Questions~

 How often should I receive a massage?

For those who use massage as preventative care or to manage daily stress, one massage a month is common. Weekly sessions may be necessary if you are receiving massage for injury relief or to relieve chronic muscle tightness that is interfering with daily activity.

 Must I be completely undressed?

You should only undress to your desired level of comfort. About half of our clients prefer to be completely undressed while the other half prefer to keep their undergarmets on.

 Will there be any pain or discomfort?

We don't necessarily need to go deep on painful tissues to relieve muscle tightness, but sometimes even light strokes or flushing of tissues can be painful. It is not that we are intentionally inflicting pain, but instead are exposing the pain within your muscle tissue. By working these areas, recovery can begin as can a new sense of ease and relaxation.
