Bodywork
My focus as a massage therapist and a physical therapist with 25 years of experience
have led me to a style of bodywork that emphasizes balancing the nervous system
and activating the parasympathetic nervous system, taking a more holistic approach to healing.
​
The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response,
which counters the "fight or flight" response of the sympathetic nervous system.
​
​
​
Techniques used in this type of massage, such as gentle strokes, rhythmic breathing guidance, craniosacral
and myofascial techniques and soothing touch, work together to induce a state of deep relaxation.
​
​
​
By triggering the parasympathetic nervous system, this type of massage encourages the body
to release tension, reduce stress hormones like cortisol, promoting an overall sense of calm and tranquility.
​
​
​
Chronic stress can exacerbate pain by causing muscle tension and increasing the perception of discomfort.
​
​
​
Bodywork that focus on balancing the nervous system and activating the parasympathetic
response can directly impact pain by reducing stress and anxiety.
​
​
​
By promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels, these massages can create an environment
where the body's natural healing mechanisms can function optimally,
leading to pain reduction and improved overall well-being.
​
​
​
While my focus is on the nervous system, I do offer deeper work to sore areas and tight tissue to improve circulation and promote healing, it just isn't my primary focus nor will I provide deep tissue work to the entire body.
