Massage is one of the oldest forms of medical therapy.  References to massage for therapeutic purposes date back to 2000 BC.  Massage therapy is an excellent form of preventative health care.  Healthy tissue decreases the likelihood of repetitive strain injuries, stress related injuries, and pain from tight, sore muscles. Massage therapy encourages the body’s own healing processes to decrease inflammation, decrease pain, increase circulation, decrease stress and release tension.

Massage therapy is recommended for the treatment of stress reduction, tension headaches, neck pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, arthritis, sports injuries, and much more.

From Marilyn: "My massage treatments consist of a combination of Swedish massage, Myofascial release, Trigger Point release and Deep Tissue techniques.  Your treatment will depend on your needs, your medical history and your experiences.  The techniques and pressure used will be based on your comfort level.  I can effectively treat those who are sensitive to pressure or those who want a deep tissue or sports massage and everything in between. I offer 20 minute chair massages, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minute table massages.  I also offer hot stones therapy for a deeply relaxing treatment."

Chair Massage:  Focus is on stress reduction, reducing muscle tension and relaxation.  A chair massage is performed over clothes on an ergonomic chair.  No lotions or oils are used.  Treatments are short 20 minute sessions.

Table Massage:  A table massage is a better option for more intensive therapeutic treatments and longer sessions.  It provides a deeper level of relaxation and stress relief.  It is suited to those who have experienced trauma, injury or illness.  It allows for deep tissue, Myofascial release and Trigger Point release techniques.
