Swedish Massage

Roger relaxes muscles by applying gentle pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and massages in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Swesish massage stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. This technique stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.

Deep Tissue

A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. A deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Roger uses deep tissue massage to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Roger's deep tissue massage is both corrective and therapeutic.

Myofacscial Release

Derived from the the Latin words "myo" - meaning muscle, and "fascia" - for band; myofacscial release therapy utilizes gentle, kneading manipulation that softly stretches, softens, lengthens and realigns fascia by releasing tension from the fibrous bands of connecting tissue (fascia). Myofacscial release therapy aims to free constrictions or blockages in the fascia, thereby alleviating problems with connective tissue scarring or injury, promotes healing and relieves pain.

Migraine Management

Using cross fiber massage, deep tissue and energy healing techniques Roger works with you to release the stress and pain present during a migraine. This technique is also preventative. Roger's favorite modality, you sit comfortably, fully clothed, in a massage chair. One half hour session may be all you need. No games, pain relief.

Assisted Stretching

Assisted Stretching is a gentle, non-invasive form of stretching designed to restore optimal function to joints whose normal range of motion has been compromised by shortening and/or spasm of the muscles surrounding those joints. It is especially useful for relieving chronic neck and shoulder pain from repetitive motion. Assisted Stretch is especially good for people who have repetitive motion injuries. Pain that has been chronic for years can be relieved in as little as one session.

Therapeutic Touch and Energy Healing

Therapeutic Touch is a contemporary healing modality drawn from ancient practices. It is most effective when combined with other modalities. The practice is based on the understanding that human beings are complex fields of energy, and that the ability to enhance healing in another is a natural potential. Therapeutic Touch balances and promotes the flow of human energy, reducing pain and improving wound healing.
