Modalities
Below is a list of massage modalities that are incorporated to create a
customized Intuitive Touch Massage. Each modality is linked to another website
to give further information*.
Swedish Massage - system of long strokes, kneading and friction techniques
on the more superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive
movements of the joints.
Cranio-Sacral – a technique for finding and correcting cerebral and spinal
imbalances or blockages that may cause sensory, motor or intellectual
dysfunction. This modality is practiced with the client fully dressed and laying on
a massage table.
Reflexology – based around a system of points in the hands and feet thought
to correspond, or "reflex," to all areas of the body. Reflexology may be
incorporated into a full-body massage session or performed on its own.
Shiatsu – Asian-based system of finger-pressure which treats special points
along acupuncture "meridians" (the invisible channels of energy flow in the body).
Loose fitting, comfortable clothing should be worn; Shiatsu is generally
practiced on a pad on the floor.
Sports Massage – massage therapy focusing on muscle systems relevant to a
particular sport. Most Sports Massage is focused on pre-event and post-event
treatments. Athletes of all disciplines can benefit from massage to enhance
performance.
Trigger Point Therapy (also known as Myotherapy or Neuromuscular
Therapy) – applies concentrated finger pressure to "trigger points" (painful
irritated areas in muscles) to break cycles of spasm and pain.
Deep Tissue – releases 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 grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It is called deep tissue,
because it also focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.
