Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or 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.
As a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), I can provide you with a custom-designed workout strategy based on your individual needs. Whether your fitness goals are to lose weight or train for the Ironman, or have access to an elite gym or public park, I will design a plan to help you achieve your goals.
The cost covers an inital 30 minute meeting which can be done in person or via phone where we discuss your current health state, your goals, and what exercise equipment (if any) you have. Approximately one week later we have a second 30 minute meeting where I discuss my fitness plan custom-designed for you. Anywhere from 2-4 weeks after this, you have the option of having one final meeting to reevaluate your current status and make any necessary adjustments to your plan.
While I am happy to provide you with a workout strategy, I currently do not perform one-on-one personal training sessions with clients. If you are interested in this, please contact my colleague and friend Nate through his website (www.jackhammerstrength.com).
As a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner (CKTP), I can apply the Kinesio Taping method to injuries or painful areas to inhibit, enhance or support normal body movement, or alleviate bruising and scars. For more information, visit www.kinesiotaping.com.
I may include Kinesio Taping as part of my massage sessions. Otherwise, I charge $10 per "body area." Please contact me for a more specific quote if you do not wish to have massage done.
