Massage
Therapy Styles
Shiatsu - An
eastern style massage, literally trans-lating to “finger pressure,” consists
of
direct pressure being applied to certain points along the body’s
meridians, or energy lines, to provide both physical and emotional
release.
Swedish - A classic western massage,
both nurturing and beneficial; includes gliding strokes aimed towards
the heart, helping to increase venous blood flow as well as lymphatic
function- while also relieving muscular tension.
Thai Massage -
This style has its roots in Ayurveda, and consists of yoga postures assisted
by the practitioner, with applied acupressure techniques. Can be done on
a mat or
table. Loose clothing should be worn.
Prenatal -
Tailored to meet the needs of
mommies-to-be, nurturing massage is provided in a mostly Swedish style.
Hot Stone Therapy - Exactly as it is described, using hot
basalt stones to melt away muscular tension, this type of therapy can
provide immense relaxation for the
client as well as amazing detoxifying and therapeutic results.
Please let us know in advance if you would like this treatment.
Deep Tissue -
Accessing the deeper layers of muscular connective tissue, or Fascia, Deep
Tissue is generally performed with fists, forearms or elbows; slow,
careful pres-sure is applied to provide deep release.

David Brown, CMT
Growing up David always loved working with his hand and was fascinated
with how things worked, especially the human body. There was something
about how someone’s hands could infect a change in a persons body
that as-tonished him. After going to school to become an auto technician,
David realized massage therapy was the right path for him. In 2010 David
Brown graduated from The National Holistic Institute. Knowing there was
so much more to learn, David decided to continue his learning and enrolled
in there advanced program for Neuro-muscular Therapy at NHI. In May of
2011 David will have completed 1120 hours of massage training. David specializes
in Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial therapy, sports massage, neuromuscular
