It's one of the best bodywork sessions you will ever get in New York City. Professional and considerate.

Medical Massage (Back to Top)

Medical Massage differs from regular Massage and Bodywork in that the treatment is specifically directed to resolve conditions diagnosed by a medical doctor. I may use a variety of modalities or techniques during the treatment, but I focus the treatment only on the specific areas of the body related to the diagnosis. This enhances the body’s natural self-healing process and reduces the needed recovery time from injury.

Sports Massage (Back to Top)

Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletic and competitive sports, and for those who work out regularly at the gym. Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. It's also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body’s natural immune function.

Prenatal Massage (Back to Top)

Prenatal Massage is a form of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time in which a woman’s body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical, mental, and emotional changes. Using various techniques specifically for the new mother, Pregnancy Massage helps alleviate discomforts experienced throughout the pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the reduction of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, improved breathing and relaxation, and relief from uncomfortable digestive issues.

Shiatsu Massage (Back to Top)

Shiatsu Massage is a Japanese form of massage. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Qi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit.

Myofascial Release (Back to Top)

Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into Myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Fascia plays an important role in the support of our bodies, since it surrounds and attaches to all structures it provides stability to our entire body system helping it to keep an adequate amount of tension to allow the body to remain upright with proper equilibrium.

In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When we experience physical trauma, scarring, or inflammation, however, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted and a source of tension to the rest of the body.

Trauma, such as a fall, whiplash, surgery or just habitual poor posture over time and repetitive stress injuries has a cumulative effects. The changes they cause in the fascial system influence comfort and the functioning of our body. The fascia can exert excessive pressure producing pain or restriction of motion. They affect our flexibility and stability, and are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and strain.

The use of Myofascial Release allows me to look at each patient as a unique individual utilizing a multitude of fascial release techniques during the session. Therapeutic exercises are discussed for the enhancement of strength, flexibility, and for continual postural and movement awareness for the client to take home.

Soft Tissue Release (Back to Top)

Unlike many styles of massage therapy given for general or relaxation purposes, Soft Tissue Release is a much more specific Neuromuscular Therapy for correcting muscular imbalances, accelerating the healing of muscular injuries and quickly eliminating chronic pain.
The essence of the approach is a method of applying pressure to a muscle at the same time the muscle is being stretched. This coordinated movement has a correcting effect on all muscular imbalances, including injured areas where scar tissue has formed. The "secret" to the success of the technique is that it's not just another way of manipulating your muscles—it's a way of communicating with your nervous system. Lasting, often permanent change is achieved by engaging your autonomic nervous system, the powerful mechanism that controls your heartbeat, breathing, digestion, and other essential life functions.
