NEUROMUSCULAR MASSAGE is a form of deep tissue massage that
is applied to individual muscles. It is used to increase blood flow, reduce
pain and release pressure on nerves caused by injuries to muscles and other
soft tissue. Neuromuscular massage helps release trigger points, intense
knots of tense muscle can also "refer" pain to other parts of the body.
Relieving a tense trigger point in your back, for example, could help ease
pain in your shoulder or reduce headaches.

Relieving a tense trigger point in your back, for example, could help ease

Neuromuscular Therapy will be used to address five elements that
cause pain:
cause pain:
- Ischemia: Lack of blood supply to soft tissues which causes
hypersensitivity to touch
- Trigger Points: Highly irritated points in muscles which refer pain to
other parts of the body
- Nerve Compression or Entrapment: Pressure on a nerve by soft
tissue, cartilage or bone
- Postural Distortion: Imbalance of the muscular system resulting
from the movement of the body off the longitudinal and horizontal
planes
- Biomechanical Dysfunction: Imbalance of the musculoskeletal
system resulting in faulty movement patterns (i.e., poor lifting habits,
bad mechanics in a golf swing of tennis stroke, computer
keyboarding)
SWEDISH MASSAGE uses soothing, tapping and
kneading strokes to work the entire body, relieving
muscle tension and loosening sore joints. Swedish
massage therapists use five basic strokes, which anyone
can learn and use on themselves and others. They are
effleurage (stroking); petrissage (muscles are lightly
grabbed and lifted); friction (thumbs and fingertips work
in deep circles into the thickest part of muscles;
tapotement (chopping, beating, and tapping strokes); and
vibration (fingers are pressed or flattened firmly on a
muscle, then the area is shaken rapidly for a few
seconds).

anxiety - Increased awareness of mind-
body connection - Enhanced self image
SPORTS MASSAGE is designed to help you train
better, whether you're a world champion or a
weekend warrior. The techniques are similar to those
in Swedish and deep tissue massage, but Greene
says sports massage has been adapted to meet the
athlete's special needs. Pre-event massage can help
warm up muscles and improve circulation before
competition, but it can also energize or relax an
athlete and help him focus on the competition.
Post-event massage can push waste products out of
the body and improve recovery.

Post-event massage can push waste products out of

Regular sports massage can:
- Reduce the chance of injury, through the loosening of
connective tissues and muscles. - Improve the range
of motion and muscle flexibility, - Shorten recovery
time between workouts; - Increase the supply of
nutrients and oxygen through improved circulation; - Enhance the elimination of toxic by-products of
exercise.

HYDROTHERAPY
MASSAGE is the use of
water in the treatment of
disease. Hydrothermal therapy
additionally uses its
temperature effects, as in hot
baths, saunas, wraps, etc.
Generally, heat quiets and
soothes the body, slowing
down the activity of internal
organs. Cold, in contrast,
stimulates and invigorates,
increasing internal activity.
