I provide therapeutic sports massage that aims to identify any adhesions or scar tissue in the fascia between muscle and tendons. This therapy breaks those up so that the body can heal and the muscles can continue to grow. For your body to properly heal, you must be in an active state of muscle conditioning that comes with working out or playing a sport.
This therapy is achieved through deep tissue manipulation of muscles, tendons, and facia, which can involve some pain. Muscles are surrounded by a fragile, almost paper-like layer of tissue called fascia. When muscles lose strength, or you experience an injury, and you aren't expressing a full range of motion, this facia can adhere to other nearby muscles, tendons, and nerves. When these adhesions occur, inflammation causes reduced blood flow, resulting in soreness and further limiting range of motion. Another scenario is that the facia will lose its flexibility as we age; this means that it can form a sack that can restrict a muscle's growth potential. This therapy aims to break those adhesions in a controlled way or physically break up the fascia so the body can restore blood flow and repair that damage. You should be actively engaged in exercise/sports because the adhesions will reform as scar tissue without that level of activity after the massage!
You must have a good pain tolerance and be able to breathe through that pain without flexing; otherwise, you'll not see the benefits of this therapy. We can work through breathing exercises to help relax you through these trigger points.
This is a theraputic massage provided in my home studio (no outcalls), on a table, without draping, meaning you will be nude. It is not sexual in nature, but I will work deep areas of the hip flexors, so "boners sometimes happen" it's nothing to be anxious about.
My rate is $1/min, with the first session lasting 75-90 minutes, it just depends on what I find. Subsequent sessions
are generally 60 mins.
I only accept cash
I use a coconut-based massage oil called MCT Oil. Massage is given in a private home, so a shower is available to remove the oil.
