Beginning Fall 2009, the Wellness Center will offer Therapeutic Massage as an extension of the services and programs currently offered through Fitness and Recreation Services.

Therapeutic massage focuses on specific muscle tensions which can be addressed through several different types of massage techniques.  Below are just a few that we offer and specialize in.  

SPORTS MASSAGE
Active isolated stretching and myofacial release is used to help athletes and others regain their full range of motion in the joints and other key parts of the body.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Myofascial Release is a form of bodywork that is manipulative in nature and seeks to re-balance the body by releasing tension in the fascia.  Long, stretching strokes are utilized to release muscular tension.  Myofascial Release is a manual therapy technique that is utilized to help relieve pain and tension that is due to injury or stress.  It involves releasing and unwinding the fascia (connective tissue) that surrounds each muscle and interconnects all of the other internal parts of the body.  This tissue layer, which connects every muscle, tendon, ligament, bone and organ in our bodies, can store memories of physical trauma.  Releasing these restrictions allows us to discharge recurring emotional as well as physical pain.  Sessions can include craniosacral work, stretching techniques, and deep touch.

HOT STONE MASSAGE
Hot stone massage brings the element of heat into your experience.  This service is very soothing and allows the therapist to work deeper quicker and use the stones as a tool on the larger muscle groups i.e. back, thighs, and gluteus areas.

SWEDISH MASSAGE
This gentle to firm massage increases circulation and aids the body in cleansing itself of toxins through the use of long, relaxing, and rolling stokes.

All Massage Therapists are licensed professionals and are members of the American Massage Therapy Association.
