Relaxation Massage
Soothing, relaxing, gentle therapy
A relaxation massage is a smooth, gentle, full-body treatment with light to moderate pressure that is designed to reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and promote a sense of mental and physical well-being. Unlike the targeted focus of a therapeutic massage, its goal is not to repair injuries or aggressively work out deep muscle knots, but rather to give your body and mind a chance to completely reset. Magnesium oil can be applied at the beginning or end of this massage to enhance the feeling of localized muscle comfort.

Medical Massage
Focused, specific massage for treatment of injuries
If you've been injured in an auto accident, soft tissue work can help greatly with your recovery. I have extensive experience in treating the soft tissue injuries (muscles, ligaments, tendons) seen with car accidents. Treatment-focused medical massage can help you recover more quickly from the acute headaches, neck and back pain, and muscle strains or sprains that you may have suffered as a result of your accident.
I will bill the Medical Payments portion of your auto insurance ("MedPay") for you so you can concentrate on healing.
If you are filing a claim with the at-fault party’s auto insurance, you will pay at the time of service. I will provide you with treatment notes and superbills so you can request reimbursement for your payments.

Static/Fixed Cupping
Polycarbonate cups and a manual pump are used for static cupping, and as the name implies, the cups are left in place for up to 3 minutes. After this technique is used you may see the circular bruises that form when the superficial capillaries are broken. They are generally not painful and fade within a week.
Dynamic/Sliding Cupping
Thick but pliable silicone cups are used in conjunction with massage to provide negative pressure (suction) to the skin. This technique lifts the tissue instead of pressing on it. Since I glide the cups along the skin instead of leaving them in one place, you won’t end up with the round bruises associated with static cupping. The technique is painless and relaxing.
Percussion Massage
Percussion massage, or vibration, can be applied using open hands or soft fists, or mechanically with a massage “gun” as shown here. There are a couple of reasons this feels good, as explained below in a excerpt from PainScience.com, by Paul Ingraham:
Proprioceptive confusion. Proprioception is the sense of position or movement, our under-appreciated “sixth” sense. If you move or shake the body at random, the cerebellum gets a deluge of nonsensical proprioceptive data, sensory information about movements that the brain did not plan. Assuming a safe and healthy emotional context, the nervous system, overwhelmed by the flood of stimuli, willingly “gives up” and stops resisting the movement — an unusual state.
Sensory novelty. Fresh and unusual sensations are the bedrock of massage therapy: when we get a good massage, we experience many sensations that are unique to that context, and that is half the appeal. But vibration delivers especially strong and distinctive sensory novelty: it feels like nothing else, and it feels like the opposite of feeling stuck. Like splashing cool water on your face when you’re hot, vibration feels like a natural antidote to stillness, stiffness, and stagnation.
