Therapeutic Massage

Physically, Therapeutic Massage is valued for its ability to restore and rejuvenate tired, sore or injured muscles, tissues, tendons and ligaments. Mentally, it is known to relieve stress and tension. Emotions are balanced with the release of endorphins into the system. Overall, Massage Therapy has become one of the leading solutions for optimum health and wellness.

Health Modalities, PC  specializes in a variety of clinical massage techniques:

  • Swedish Massage:  With its primary function which is relaxation and release from muscular tension. Using classical strokes of; effleurage, tampotement and petrissage, this is the most common type of massage for its over all therapeutic benefits.
  • Deep Tissue Massage:  Incorporates the basic classical strokes of Swedish massage at an advanced level with deep pressure and manipulation of the physical body to restore suppleness and return chronically tight muscles to their original form.
  • Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT): Concentrates static pressure to treat soft tissue at specific trigger points to balance the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.
  • Sports/Athletic Massage: Used to increase athletic performance, prevent injury and assist recovery from injury, pre/post event. Techniques include classical, neuromuscular, and myofascial release.
  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD): Lightly and rhythmically massaging the lymph nodes to increase the flow of lymph fluid throughout the system. Emphasis is on removing toxins from the body.
  • Therapeutic Touch/Energy Bodywork: Focused on balancing the human energy field through intentional movements of the hands off the body for the purpose of re-balancing, modulation and unruffling.

Hot Stone Massage

Massage

Incorporated into any modality

Hot Stones are incorporated into massage or colon hydrotherapy sessions at Health Modalities, PC. While a traditional Hot Stone massage is not offered, the healing stones are introduced into sessions as an added benefit to each modality. The power of the stones lies in their ability to hold heat and allow for direct application to the muscles, tendons and ligaments. This process speeds the relaxation of the body’s tissues allowing for easier access and immediate attention to the area needing work. Hot Stones also help to reduce recovery time after deep tissue or trigger point work by adding circulation of the blood flow into the tissues.

Graston Technique

Gua Sha/Scraping

The ancient Chinese tradition of Gua Sha, meaning scraping, gained new recognition in the massage therapy field with the introduction of the Graston Technique. Advancing the technology of this modality with the formulation of stainless steel tools in various shapes and sized to effectively reach targeted areas while allowing practitioners ergonomically correct tools and means of administering the technique.

Soft tissues, including scar tissue, is effectively detected and through the design of the tools assisting the therapist to mobilize the targeted area and release the connective tissue muscle fibers and helps to break down collagen cross-links that prohibit normal function of the body’s muscles, joints and ligaments.

The light scraping tends to produce a bruise or rash-like appearance on the skin which is normal and due to the increased blood flow. The physical appearance disapears quickly as it is not a true bruise.

Whether administered on its own or incorporated into another massage modality, scraping offers expedited healing and rejuvenation to the body’s cellular composition.
