MASSAGES

PRENATAL
MASSAGE

DETAILS

Prenatal massage is a customized massage for the mom to be tailored to her specific needs and concerns. I use specially designed pillows called bolsters to position a woman comfortably on her side. This helps especially during the later stages of pregnancy. Lying on your side is often the most comfortable position. Prenatal massage is a good way to reduce stress, improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and improve the quality of your sleep!

DEEP TISSUE
MASSAGE

DETAILS

Deep tissue massage is defined as placing therapeutic pressure on the muscles and connective tissues of the body in order to relieve pain or provide increased relaxation. Instead, this technique requires patiently lengthening soft tissue layer by layer to release holding patterns that are preventing a client from relaxing. The emphasis for each deep tissue session is to alter muscle tightness and restriction in order to decrease tension, with the client ideally leaving the session feeling invigorated and relaxed

Swedish
Massage

DETAILS

The most widely recognized and commonly used category of massage is the Swedish massage. The Swedish massage techniques vary from light to vigorous. Swedish massage uses five styles of strokes. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber or with the fibers) and vibration/shakin Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks

Sports
Massage

DETAILS

Also known as manual therapy, manipulative therapy, or manual & manipulative therapy, this is a physical treatment primarily used on the neuromusculoskeletal system to treat pain and disability. It most commonly includes kneading and manipulation of muscles, joint mobilization and joint manipulation.

TESTIMONIALS

Working with a new massage therapist can be hit or miss. As soon as Dorothyann began her pre-massage consultation with me, I knew it was a hit. She asked the right questions to identify what I wanted from her treatment, what specific areas were trouble spots and where I would like her to concentrate. She repeats this with me before every session and remembers from one time to the next what worked in the past.

She has a gift to “listen” to muscles. She employs different types of pressure and stretching so that each time I see her I leave in a better place than when I walked in the door. It’s never the same treatment twice – each time she responds with what will be most effective depending on what she learns from my body that day.

As far as relaxation goes, she knows when to speak with me and when to create silence. It’s a true mind/body escape!
