Massage Therapies Offered in our Ridgefield CT Office
Massage brings you one step closer to living in your body free from restriction and tension and closer to feeling better and moving with ease. Here are some of the therapeutic massage styles offered at Loosen Up Therapeutics in Ridgefield CT:
Swedish Massage: This classic massage is intended to improve circulation, tissue elasticity and helps release your body's tension by using a therapeutic system of long gliding strokes, kneading and friction techniques.
Prenatal Massage: Supports an expectant mother during her second and third trimester so she can relax into her changing body. During pregnancy the body undergoes a multitude of changes, some of which are stressful and physically uncomfortable. Massage assists the body in metabolizing these changes. I utilize supportive cushions developed by Body Support Systems that allows a mother to lie comfortably in a prone position with support and ample room for your growing baby.
Zen Shiatsu: An ancient Asian system Zen Shiatsu treats particular points located along the meridians (energy pathways), resorting internal balance. The translation of Shiatsu is "finger-pressure".
Acupressure: Acupressure is similar to Zen Shiatsu massage in that acupressure points are treated in both massage techniques.
Trigger Point Massage: Trigger points are tender, congested areas located in muscle tissue and may contribute to limiting range of motion. When pressure is applied the pain may radiate to other areas. When trigger points are treated pain and discomfort are relieved and ease of movement restored.
Deep Tissue Massage: Deep tissue massage utilizes a combination of massage techniques, concentrating on deeper layers of muscle, fascia and connective tissue to enhance function, aid in soft-tissue recovery and release chronic tension patterns.
Sports Massage: Sports massage combines Swedish and Deep Tissue massage techniques to assist in preparing the the muscular body for physical activity and aids in recovery from physical exertion. This type of massage helps to get you back to training and performing.
Chair Massage: In chair massage I offer relatively brief sessions, usually lasting between 10 and 30 minutes. These massages are done in a specially designed chair that leaves the scalp, shoulders, neck back and hip exposed, as the you sit facing the cushions.
