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.
