Holistic Therapies

Holistic services…

…differ from traditional medical services in that they usually take into account the entire person. Your emotional, mental and spiritual states are given as much attention as your whole physical body, including the injuries or illness. Holistic therapies usually aim at re-establishing a harmonious balance and vitality to the whole person with the idea that any part effects the whole. Our bodies are a collection of interrelated energies and systems each taking cue fro the other. Each of these therapies accesses the mind, body, spirit system in a slightly different way.

Massage with Suzanne MacDonald-

She offers a variety of modalities ranging from Swedish relaxation, to deep tissue to sports. She also has special training in Oncology massage. See below for types.

Swedish Relaxation  uses a series of strokes to work the more superficial layers of soft tissue and affects every system of the body in a positive way. It is the modality of choice for giving a full body relaxation treatment. This treatment is designed to restore balance between your physical and emotional being. It improves blood circulation, range of motion and relieves muscle tension and stress from daily living.

Deep Tissue is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is especially helpful in chronically tense areas of the body, such as stiff neck, low back tightness or sore shoulders. Deep tissue uses techniques of slower movement and is more concentrated on areas of tension and pain. It is designed to un-glue the fibers of the muscle while releasing stress and tension, as well as removes toxins while relaxing and soothing the muscle.

Sports Massage- is a form of deep tissue combined with lighter pressure. It is a more focused massage with applications designed for injury treatment, prevention, and management of primary muscles utilized during sports and fitness training. Pressure is applied relative to specific muscle soreness. Decreased muscle tension and pain can be expected, and well as possible increased range of motion.

Therapuetic Massage where a balanced combination of deep tissue, proprioceptor neuromuscular facilitation, where applicable, and relaxation techniques are used so that the client’s muscular issues are addressed and  yet they still leave feeling relaxed from a full body massage treatment. This treatment is best for a 90 minute seesion.

Oncology Massage is specifically designed for people living with cancer, including those who are in treatment or have recently completed
treatment or are in palliative care. Each session is tailored to you and modified to the signs, symptoms, and complications that chemotherapy and/or radiation can cause. Gentle touch is used to help ease symptoms of cancer treatments, such as pain and anxiety, which are just some of the side effects from chemotherapy or radiation. Some cancer research has suggested improved immune function, decreased stress, and improved sleep from massage
