Chair Massage
Description
If you have general aches and pains, repetitive strain, or just need to relax and relieve stress, a Chair Massage is the right service for you. Your treatment will begin with a short assessment which may include ROM testing. I will go over your health history and any issues you want to address. You will not be asked to undress. The modalities I may choose to incorporate are; light to deep tissue techniques, kneading, squeezing, pulling of the muscles, acupressure, and more. I will focus on your shoulders, back, neck, arms, and head. You sit in a massage chair, which is ergonomically designed to provide optimal comfort. Typically, your face rests in the cradle built into the chair. This position allows your back and neck to fully relax, which allows your massage therapist to provide the best treatment possible. These techniques aim to relax your entire body and help you de-stress. They can also help prevent repetitive injuries, such as those caused by typing at a computer all day. Most chair massage sessions are shorter than standard treatments. If your purpose is solely for relaxation, I will focus on delivering a flowing massage with steady pressure throughout your body. You may be asked to breathe deeply, which can help promote relaxation and increase the effectiveness of the massage. I may also use aromatherapy or other relaxation techniques to help enhance the experience. After the massage, you may feel relaxed and rejuvenated. It’s important to drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins that were released during the massage. I may also provide you with some aftercare advice, such as remedial exercises, stretching or self-massage techniques to help facilitate your rehabilitation and progress. A return date for your treatment plan will also be suggested to keep you on track.
