SERVICES

Natasha performing neuromuscular therapy on a client's back.

  • A specialized technique that targets the root causes of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It is based on the understanding of the complex relationship between the nervous system and the muscles, seeking to alleviate pain by addressing muscular imbalances, trigger points, and nerve entrapment. Similar to known modalities such as ‘rolfing’, ANMT tailors treatment plans specific to the client's needs and goals. Through skilled hands-on therapy and comprehensive assessment techniques, ANMT aims to provide long-lasting relief and improved function, promoting overall health and well-being.

  • Deep tissue therapy is a specialized form of massage therapy that focuses on targeting the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues within the body. Unlike Swedish massage, which primarily uses lighter pressure and focuses on relaxation, deep tissue therapy involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach the underlying muscles and fascia. Deep tissue therapy is often used to address chronic pain, muscle tightness, and restricted range of motion caused by factors such as poor posture, overuse, or injury. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from conditions such as back pain, neck and shoulder tension, and sports-related injuries.

Sports recovery massage giving

  • Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to enhance athletic performance, aid in recovery, and prevent injuries. It focuses on the specific needs of athletes and individuals engaged in regular physical activity, addressing the unique muscle imbalances, tension, and stressors that can result from intense training and competition. These techniques help to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, promote flexibility, and accelerate the recovery process. Overall, sports massage is a valuable tool for athletes seeking to maximize their potential, prevent injuries, and maintain peak physical condition.

  • ART is a specialized form of soft tissue therapy that targets muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves to alleviate pain and improve movement and function. Through precise movements, the practitioner applies tension while the client actively moves the affected body part through a range of motion. This dynamic combination of movement and tension helps to break up adhesions and scar tissue, restore proper tissue texture and function, and promote healing. ART is highly effective in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including repetitive strain injuries, overuse injuries, postural imbalances, and sports-related injuries.

  • Myofascial Release Therapy is a specialized hands-on technique that focuses on releasing tension and restrictions within the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs throughout the body. The fascia can become tight, restricted, or damaged due to factors such as injury, overuse, or poor posture, leading to pain, limited mobility, and dysfunction. Myofascial release therapy is often used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic pain, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, among others. It can also be beneficial for improving posture, flexibility, and athletic performance.

prenatal massage is giving to a client

  • Prenatal massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed specifically for pregnant women to address the unique physical and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy. By combining deep tissue and Swedish massage techniques in areas of discomfort during pregnancy, including the lower back, feet, and hips, prenatal massage can help benefit all stages of pregnancy and prepare mothers for giving birth. Pregnant women need to consult with their healthcare provider before receiving prenatal massage, especially if they have any underlying medical conditions or high-risk pregnancies.

  • MAT is an innovative approach to bodywork that assesses the client's posture, movement patterns, and areas of pain or tension to identify imbalances and dysfunctions within the musculoskeletal system. Using a combination of manual techniques such as deep tissue massage, joint mobilization, and stretching, the therapist works to release tension, improve joint mobility, and restore proper alignment throughout the body. The goal of MAT is to address the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than just treating the symptoms. By restoring balance and alignment to the musculoskeletal system, MAT aims to alleviate pain, improve movement and function, and prevent future injuries.

Natasha's unique approach to bodywork and healing.

  • Craniosacral therapy is a gentle and non-invasive form of bodywork that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the bones, tissues, and fluids that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This therapy is based on the concept that the craniosacral system has its own rhythm, similar to the respiratory and circulatory systems and that imbalances or restrictions in this rhythm can contribute to physical and emotional problems. Craniosacral therapy is often used to treat a wide range of conditions, including headaches, migraines, neck and back pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, stress, anxiety, and insomnia. It can also be beneficial for promoting relaxation, improving immune function, and enhancing overall well-being.

  • Utilizing stainless steel instruments, Graston Technique practitioners effectively detect and treat areas of scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and chronic inflammation. During a Graston Technique session, the practitioner utilizes the instruments to apply controlled pressure to the affected area, gently breaking down adhesions and scar tissue while promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue. This process helps to restore optimal movement patterns, alleviate pain, and improve overall function. Graston Technique is particularly effective in treating conditions such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and various sports-related injuries.

Cupping Therapy giving to a client

  • Cupping Therapy is an ancient healing technique that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. As a gentle and non-invasive treatment option, Cupping Therapy provides increased tissue profusion mobilizing blood flow and promoting healing to the affected area. This can help promote the immune system to heal damaged tissue fibers, alleviate muscle tension, and reduce pain in the affected area. Additionally, cupping therapy can help promote lymphatic drainage by increasing blood circulation. It is commonly used for back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
