If your goal is Relaxation and Rejuvenation, I recommend booking a Full-Body Swedish Massage. Though the Full-Body session is the default, all sessions are unique and tailored for each individual, so if there is an area in need of some extra attention, please do not hesitate to let me know beforehand!
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

If your main goal is to target an area of pain, reduce pain/discomfort, and increase range of motion, I recommend booking a Trigger Point Therapy Session.
Trigger Point Therapy is where we take down your history (injuries, activities, etc.), analyze your current pain, and create a personalized plan to work towards your goals (such as: reduce pain, increase range of motion, be able to run or so certain exercises again, etc.). During the 90 min - 2 hour session, we will target trigger points (sensitive areas) within muscle tissue that inhibit movement and can cause pain, then finish with a full-body Swedish massage. THIS IS A MULTI-SESSION OPTION! Many times, pain and issues with movement take time to develop, so it will take multiple session to break down adhesions, as well as re-educate the muscle.
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing \"trigger points\" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These \"knots\" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be uncomfortable at times, but not painful, and the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
