It is not recognized anymore as leisure. If anything, it is now being used as preventative care and maintenance.
• On your first session, we will discuss your health history and determine what are your goals.
• You will be properly draped and I will confirm that the pressure is comfortable
• I use my own blend of massage oils and cremes based on your health history.
• If needed, topical gels and cremes are used such as Biofreeze, Tiger Balm and or Sombra in conjunction with the massage. These elements help allow the muscles to open up and relax.
• If needed, a heating pad with a TENS unit will also be used directly on the problem area to allow the tightness to open up and to allow proper blood flow.
• If mobility is limited, I often stretch the arms and legs.
Upon completion of your massage, we will do a complete postural evaluation and will discuss if proper ergonomics are being utilized at work, home, in the car and while sleeping.
• Based on what was discussed and what I determined during the massage, I will prescribe specific exercises and or stretches as homework until your next session.
If the treatment plan is followed through in conjunction with a regular Massage routine, the results will be amazing and you will be on the road to a more mobile, Pain-Free life.
I look forward to be a part of your change..
