What is Structural Massage and how is it different than regular Massage?
Think of traditional massage as proper hygiene for your muscle and tendon tissues. Cleaning up those sticky, hard to reach areas and allowing the muscle to function as a whole, will leave you feeling like new! And maybe a bit sore in spots. When you have a ‘knot’ in your muscle, that means that a portion of those muscle fibers are chronically contracted. When this happens, there is less blood flow to the area, increasing the buildup of wastes, and increasing local inflammation, irritating those nerve endings. This is why it hurts to put pressure on these areas. Deeper pressure will help those fibers release, allowing new blood and nutrients to the area.
Structural Massage is when you are observed and treated as a whole. How do you move? How do you stand and walk? How are your bones stacked and aligned and how does that correlate to your pain/complaint? How do I change that to best support you in your body? Its like building a house. If the structure is not sound and aligned, the doors won’t hang right, the windows won’t fit snugly…your body works just the same. Masses are meant to be balanced in order to be stable. Structure determines function. You may have a pain in your back that is coming from an old ankle injury you got in high school. I use soft tissue manipulation, and activation exercises to better align you as a WHOLE. I teach you how to be aware and recognize what you can do to understand what is happening in your body, and how to change it.
Do you offer Couples Massage?
I don’t offer couples massage. There are many other options in town!
