Massage Techniques
Swedish Massage - Also known as European massage, this method uses a system of long strokes, kneading, friction and percussion. Stretching and/or strengthening exercises may also be utilized. Swedish massage promotes general relaxation, increases circulation of blood & lymph and relieves muscle tension. Oils or lotions are used to reduce the amount of friction of the skin. Swedish massage is the most effective technique for relieving stress.
Deep Tissue Massage - Deep Tissue Massage utilizes many of the same strokes used in Swedish Massage. The therapist starts with light pressure to warm-up the superficial muscle layers and progresses to the deepest level of pressure, working within client tolerance levels. Deep Tissue Massage helps alleviate chronic pain and muscle adhesions (those pesky knots).
Pregnancy Massage - Specialized massage therapy sessions for the expectant mother, this modality combines various techniques from Swedish, Shiatsu and Joint Mobilization. Pregnancy Massage addresses all the dynamic changes throughout the pregnancy, labor and postpartum period. All therapists at BMT are certified in pregnancy massage.
Craniosacral Therapy - Craniosacral Therapy is a hands-on technique that is performed over clothes with a gentle, light touch. It is used to detect and correct imbalances in the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround the brain and spinal cord. The therapist releases restrictions in this system to improve the operation of the central nervous system. Craniosacral Therapy enhances the natural healing processes of the body, dissipates the negative effects of stress and is shown to be effective for many medical conditions associated with pain and dysfunction.
Other Services
Aromatherapy - Combining Swedish and Shiatsu techniques, the therapist uses massage oil blended with essential plant oils to provide a stimulating or sedating treatment. Essential oils have been used to treat many symptoms ranging from anxiety to insomnia to headache.
Acupuncture - Acupuncture helps restore health by balancing the energy inside your body. In traditional Chinese medicine, this energy is known as Qi (pronounced Chi) and it flows through pathways that cover your body much like nerves or blood vessels. Using very fine, disposable needles at specific points in the body, the Qi is accessed, manipulated and brought into balance. Acupuncture has been used to treat both physical and psychological disorders ranging from asthma to back pain to depression.
Paraffin Wax Treatments - Offered as hand and foot wraps only. After cleansing the area, the therapist wraps the hands/feet in heated paraffin wax. As the wax hardens, it traps in the heat, moisturizing and hydrating the skin. Benefits also include pain relief from arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and other joint or muscle aches. This may be done separately or added to any massage therapy session.
Others - Bodyography also offers many other techniques including AMMAtherapy, Sports Massage, Chair Massage and Corporate On-Site Massage. Call for more details.
