Swedish Massage increases circulation, stretches the ligaments and tendons, stimulates the skin and nervous system and reduces stress, both emotional and physical. It is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
This massage chair is designed so you can sit in it with your chest facing a platform, knees bent and feet supported on foot rests, leaving your entire back exposed. This allows the me to work on the entire back body, back of the head, neck and spine. The person receiving the massage remains fully clothed, making chair massage very easy to do. Sports massage is also good for people with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion.
Sports massage is a type of Swedish massage that stimulates circulation of blood and lymph fluids. Some sports massage movements use trigger point therapy to break down adhesions (knots in the muscles) and increase range of motion.

A graduate of the Virginia School of Massage.

We will spend a few moments getting acquainted.

When you are on the table and under the sheet, I will knock before entering the room to begin the massage.
