Massage Therapy“Massage is not just a luxury.
It's a way to a healthier, happier life." |

Let's face it, pain absolutely gets in the way of life, and when it's chronic, it can completely consume you. Although loved ones may offer verbal and moral support, you are the only person living in your body and therefor you are the only person in control of the ways you cope with the pain that is unique to you. But that in itself is part of the problem - "coping". Why just cope when you can overcome the pain, and do so naturally? If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, it might be time to try something new through Massage Therapy services offered at Custom Wellness.

TuiNa Massage:
This is a form of bodywork that is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It literally means "to push and to pull/squeeze/grasp". It is typically used to address specific patterns of disharmony in the body using several types of bodywork including massage and acupressure. Myofascial release:
This is the practice of applying pressure into restrictions of the myofascial connective tissue of the body. It is a manual technique used frequently in massage to relieve tight muscles, restore mobility, and increase circulation. |
Gua Sha:
This is the practice of using a tool to apply pressure and "scrape" the skin. It helps to relieve pain, tension, and break up scar tissue or adhesions. It can also increase circulation and relieve muscular tightness in the area scraped. Kinesio Taping:
This is a taping method designed to provide support and stability to muscles and joints while still allowing the body to naturally heal itself. The latex-free, hypoallergenic tape increases circulation in the area where it is applied and can be worn for days at a time. |
