Hello!

I am excited to be offering Massage Therapy sessions in Kingfield, ME. Whether your body needs gentle rejuvination and relaxation or more focused therapeutic treatment for training soreness, tightness, or injury recovery, we will work together to create an indivualized treatment plan to get you feeling and drawing from multiple diverse techniques.

Here is description of some of the massage techniques that are incorporated in a typical session:

Swedish Massage: A combination of long, gliding strokes, kneading, friction and tapping are utilized to calm the nervous system, manipulate connective tissue to increase circulation and oxygen levels in the body, release tension from muscles, allows the body to relax from physical symptoms of stress and anxiety, and improves joint mobility.

Deep Tissue Massage: Focuses on the deepest layers of muscle tissue and fascia, using slow strokes and intense pressure to treat chronic pain and muscle injuries.

Trigger Point Therapy: focus is placed on isolating painful "knots" (trigger points) within a muscle, holding sustained pressure to release the tension and alleviating pain that is referred to other areas of the body.

Craniosacral Therapy: A gentle, non-invasive, hands-on healing modality that uses light touch to evaluate and release restrictions in the soft tissues surrounding the central nervous system. It aims to enhance the body's self-healing mechanisms by improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, reducing pain, and alleviating stress.

Therapeutic Massage is a goal-oriented treatment designed to bridge the gap between relaxation and rehabilitation. This session focuses on addressing specific issues such as chronic pain, postural imbalances, or sports-related tension. A blend of Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, and Trigger Point Therapy, is utilized to resolve the root cause of your discomfort rather than just treating the symptoms.

Myofacial Release: Utilizing little or no oil, this technique focuses on releasing tension and adhesions in the fascia, which can constrict the movement of underlying muscles. This can improve mobility, increase range of motion, and help with a reduction of chronic pain.
