One of the most commonly used #massage treatment strategies is deep transverse friction (DTF). Reducing hypertonicity is another important role that massage can play in treating epicondylitis better know as #tenniselbow. Applications that appear particularly effective are compressive warming strokes and broad sweeping cross-fiber strokes. As treatment progresses, deeper longitudinal stripping methods are very effective, and active engagement lengthening techniques appear to bring good results as well. #BodiMechanic #WinderGa #CandaceMoulder #elbow #massagetherapy

General Sports Massage is a full-body massage approach customized for clients involved in sports like football, tennis, and golf, or for clients looking to increase the ease, quality, and range of motion of their body movements. May also be used to prepare the body for physical activity. During this massage, specific attention is often targeted to areas requested by the client. Injury-Focused Sports Massage generally falls outside a full-body approach to target specific movement conditions that include plantar fascitis, low-back pain, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and other common sports injuries. Pre- and Postevent Sports Massage is customized to prepare the athlete for immediate, high-intensity activity, or to help them recover.

#DeepTissueMassage: is a technique that utilizes deep-tissue/deep-muscle massage to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. This technique requires advanced training and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The muscles must be relaxed in order to most effectively perform deep-tissue massage; otherwise, tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation, and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis.

Yes, as long as you arrive before your appointment time to allow time to change. Your first appointment you will be asked to complete a new client form.

You are not alone. You may be surprised that many people feel this way, so just let me know and we will spend that time on another area.

Swedish Massage. However, I offer a custom massage experience so if you need somewhere between Swedish and Therapeutic...let me know. I can also adjust during session if you indicate more or less pressure.

1. ARRIVE EARLY: Therapist will need info from you, and you need time to disrobe. 15 minutes on first visit. 2. FOOD AND DRINK: Avoid eating an hour before your massage. Visit the restroom. 3. SILENCE YOUR PHONE 4. UNDRESS TO YOUR COMFORT LEVEL: You will have total privacy to get undressed. & will be strategically draped so only area being worked on will be exposed. 5. COMMUNICATE Pressure preferences, sensitivities areas of concern. It is not rude to tell your therapist. It's your custom session. 6. TIPPING IS APPROPRIATE: 15-20% gratuity is standard 7. SHOWER: Massage Therapists provide a close contact service. Squeeze in a shower before your appointment if possible. We really appreciate when clients are clean and dry.

The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet and/or blanket.

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Hydration is strongly encouraged to move toxins quickly through and out of the body. You will be offered water at the end of the session.

Yes. That's why it's imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.

Hydrate. Drink a lot of water to flush the toxins from your body to prevent soreness the following day. Epsom salt baths are nice or just take it easy if you can.

Prior to the massage, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask. Some people prefer silence during session and others will be chatty. I will assume silence but will follow your direction if you prefer conversation.

A typical full-body session will include work on your back, glutes, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. Please note that you can customize your session for your preference.

You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. I am conservative in my draping and only the area being worked on will be exposed.

Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session. Please know any clothing worn during session will likely get massage cream on it.

I keep my hours posted on my website, google, facebook business page, etc. Currently I am offering Monday-Friday 9:00-6:00. Recently I added Saturday 10:00-2:00. If you need hours not offered that may be possible if you call or text me. Hours are subject to change and weekends may not be available in the future. My office is located inside Bombshell Barber & Beauty and their hours may differ from mine at times.

While I do quite a few 2 hour massages, it is physically very taxing to perform a 2 hour massage non-stop, as it is completely hands on for the entirety of the session. I am by nature a more deep pressure therapist and most clients receive optimal results from 60-90 minute sessions.

I do not currently offer prenatal or massage during pregnancy.

As long as it is muscle related I am able to improve or eliminate pain or discomfort in many cases. Clients often report excellent results.
