Mobile Massage Therapist in Kitsap, Washington
Feel free to text or email questions you don't see here.
I travel to your home or office anywhere in Kitsap
County, from Kingston to Shelton, Port Orchard to Port Townsend.
For safety reasons, I do not travel to hotels and do not set
my table up in bedrooms.
Myofascial release is simply very slow and oil-free massage.
The goal is to gently stretch and twist the collagen that
surrounds your muscles.
It should feel like letting go and it should
never be painful.
Most deep tissue massage is performed by applying as much pressure
as possible to a knot to "break it apart". This approach is too
aggressive, in my opinion.
Instead of applying max pressure to a knot I apply just enough to
create tension in the muscle and/or slow your breathing. Then,
I ease off the pressure but keep my hand in place. This easing
off is when the muscle usually relaxes
The Trigger-Point Therapy Manual, 3rd Ed. recommends the Pressure-Release approach.
Deep tissue massage does not need to hurt. "Good" pain is
great but if you can't breathe though it then it's
way too much.
Pain is a tool that tells us where to work, but it's just one
tool in a whole set. It shows us where detailed work is needed.
I do not operate on a "no-pain, no-gain" philosophy.
My work is entirely focused on chronic pain. Specifically, I use
a combination of myofascial release and trigger-point.
My clients usually experience debilitating pain or range of
motion limitations that affect every aspect of their lives.
