"Anyone wishing to study medicine must master the art of massage." - Hippocrates

Massage is an investment in your health. Choose wisely.

Relaxation Massage (Swedish massage): Relaxation massage is a flowing full-body massage that is ideal for overall stress relief and general body relaxation. Gentle to firm pressure is used to ease tension and tightness. 

Deep Tissue Massage: Deep tissue massage is often misunderstood. It does not imply using uncomfortable or painful massage techniques, nor does it mean using a steady deep pressure throughout the entire length of a regular full-body massage. What deep tissue massage really involves is a therapist taking their time to get to the deepest layers of muscles which are not normally treated during a more superficial massage.This type of bodywork is most appropriate for clients with chronic muscle problems or who require extra attention in one or two areas of the body. In its essence, deep tissue massage involves using slow, intentional strokes, firm pressure, and adequate time working in a particular area of the body. 

If needed, the vibration or percussion gun and/or cupping can be used to further improve tissue mobility.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage: A light and gentle form of massage therapy, lymphatic drainage massage can reduce swelling post-surgically and improve circulation throughout the lymphatic system for optimizing immune function. Erin specializes in performing lymphatic drainage massage following cosmetic surgery and other surgical procedures, but can also tailor the sessions for those wanting to experience the benefits of lymphatic drainage for detoxification support, an immune system boost, pain relief, and reduction of swelling or fluid retention (particularly helpful after long plane travel). 

Therapeutic or Medical Massage: The purpose of medical massage is to specifically address and provide relief for a medical condition diagnosed by a physician or other health care professional. Techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue techniques, scar tissue/cross friction massage, muscle energy techniques, lymphatic drainage, and stretching may be performed. Use of the percussion gun or adding cupping can also be beneficial to achieve the desired results. Medical massage is an outcome-based treatment and will typically require regular visits in order to achieve lasting results or assist in managing symptoms. As a physical therapist, Erin specializes in medical massage for conditions such as low back and neck pain, postural dysfunction, post-surgical care (shoulder/knee/hip/hand), plantar fasciitis, and overuse injuries of the upper and lower extremities.  

Rehabilitative Massage: Rehabilitative massage is performed in conjunction with and during the course of physical therapy treatment to augment the benefits of physical therapy and accelerate healing and recovery time. This translates to both greater patient satisfaction as well as improved functional outcomes. As a physical therapist herself, Erin has experienced first-hand how impactful it is to her patients’ recoveries when they were able to incorporate quality massage therapy sessions into the course of their P.T. treatment. She noticed how it enhanced their flexibility, decreased muscle soreness, increased joint range of motion, and reduced their pain levels which ultimately led to quicker physical improvements.
