Massage Therapy
Justin is skilled in many different types of massage therapy. The main types of Massage Therapy available today are Swedish, Deep Tissue and Neuromuscular Therapy.
Integrating the three is a hallmark of Justin’s work. Through years of practice and study, he has developed techniques for all body types with great success. Details about each type of massage therapy are highlighted below.
Swedish Massage:
- Comprised of long, flowing, kneading or chopping strokes
- The goal is to increase circulation and joint mobility, while providing relaxation and muscle tension relief
- Remains an excellent choice for general stress relief
- Wonderful balancer for the Vata ( thin, cold hands and feet) body type
Deep Tissue Massage:
- Involves going through superficial muscle layer to get to the deep muscles tendon and ligaments
- Allows for the breaking up of scar tissue, which may require deep, cross- fiber friction
- Useful for the kapha (large, thick) body type
- Great for tight muscles and relieving body tension
Neuromuscular Therapy:
- Concerned with the elimination of trigger or tender points and the rehabilitation of soft tissue
- Unlike other massages, it is done only on part of the body per session instead of the whole body
- Great for car accident recovery
