Motor Vehicle Accident Massage
If you are in a motor vehicle accident (MVA), your doctor may prescribe massage as a part of your treatment plan. Massage can address the stress that goes with a traumatic event like a car accident. It can help address many of the sprains, strains, and other injuries common in a MVA.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that promotes health and healing throughout the body. Focusing on the joints, muscles, and spine, osteopathy works to relieve pain, tension, and stress. These are the root causes of many conditions and illnesses.
Osteopathic therapy takes a holistic approach to healing. This allows for the treatment of a range of somatic (bodily) issues.
Couples Massage
Therapeutic Body Concept’s Couples Massages tend to focus more on relaxation than on deep tissue or a specific injury or need. As such a relaxation or hot stone massage are popular choices when booking couples massages. Mixing different modalities during a couples massage keeps the experience interesting for both people involved.
Jade Stone Massage
Jade stone is a semi-precious stone that is valued most in China. It is ranked above all types of rare gemstones and metals by the Chinese.
There are two types of Jade – Nephrite and Jadeite. Jadeite is the gemstone used in jewelry and Nephrite is the type of Jade used in massage.
Jade has been known to relax the nervous system, and aid in the removal of toxins. Because of this, it is used in various different cultures over thousands of years including the Egyptians and Mayans.
Myofascial Release
“Myo-” means muscle and “fascial” is “a band or sheet of connective tissue, primarily collagen, beneath the skin that attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs.” Fascia connects, supports and protects each of your muscles and internal structures. This connective tissue is densely woven around your entire body to connect everything from your head to your toes. Myofascial Release is a treatment to release the tension and stress on your Myofascial tissues.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to enhance physical and mental wellbeing and health. The Cranial-Sacral system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This system extends throughout the body via nerves and connective tissue.
Kinesiology Taping
In the past decade Kinesiology Taping has become more prevalent. The original elastic adhesive tape, now known as Kinesio Tape (KT), was developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1979. The tape itself is hypoallergenic, latex-free, and can be worn for days at a time. Kinesio Taping became more popular during the 2008 Summer Olympics. It was donated to over 58 countries and was worn by very well-known athletes.
