BODY
Nourish offers a half hour session, focused on a specific area requested. This is a great way to try out our massage, or if you don't have an hour to devote, a great way to get specific work done to your problem area. This massage is still performed on a table, and will use both Swedish Massage techniques and acupressure point work. Some popular areas are the back and neck, legs and feet, or arms and neck. A great way to add a little pick me up to your day.
Nourish's Swedish Massage is a great way to reduce tension, improve health and help support your body's natural healing process. Swedish Massage uses a combination of long, sweeping strokes to warm the tissue and improve circulation, as well as deeper, specific work to break up adhesions ('knots'), realign muscle fibers and treat injuries such as tendonitis. Swedish massage can be very helpful in addressing TMJ and headache issues, improving athletic performance and increasing joint mobility and range of motion. Our therapist loves when clients come to her with specific issues they want to address, and she will create a customized treatment plan based on the intake she does during your first session. Lydia uses a high quality, unscented lotion supplemented with Arnica extract, a natural plant derivative that reduces inflammation and speeds healing, as well as hot and cold therapies when needed. Book your session today!
Shiatsu Massage is a form of acupressure, using the Twelve Meridian Five Element Theory found in acupuncture as well. Instead of needles, a client is treated using compression and specific point work along the meridians, along with stretching and joint mobilization. The main goal of a Shiatsu session is to rebalance the energy of the body, known as Qi. When there is an imbalance in one or more meridian, it can affect the body in many manifestations. Physical pain, headaches, sleeplessness, food cravings, depression and anxiety are only some of the examples of imbalanced Qi. This treatment is very holistic, meaning it takes the whole person into account when determining a treatment plan. Your therapist will ask you to come dressed comfortably to your appointment, as you remain dressed during your session. Your treatment will be performed on a mat on the floor. Your therapist can also perform a modified version on a table, if you have mobility issues and would be more comfortable getting on and off a table. Get on the road to wellness with a Shiatsu session today!
