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.

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).

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.

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.
