Bodywork

If you prefer a session where you relax in comfortable clothes…we can work with you using Shiatsu acupressure and Active Isolated Stretching! Expanded descriptions below.

Active Isolated Stretching
AIS is proven to increase flexibility to or beyond normal range of motion without the risk of tear or pain unlike other stretching methods that could actually damage the muscle vs. improve it. AIS improves circulation and oxygen in the body, reduces pain from previous injuries and enhances athletic/physical performance. AIS is the process by which one muscle is stretched or isolated at a time for a period of 2 seconds with the aid of the therapist.

HOW and WHY Active Isolated Stretching works...

  1. With the aid of a therapist one muscle at a time, not a whole muscle group, is stretched. By isolating one muscle there is no pain.
  2. The therapist assists to stretch the target muscle while the client contracts the opposing muscle, which allows the target muscle to relax in preparation of its stretch.
  3. Once the target muscle is relaxed the therapist stretches the muscle quickly but gently.
  4. The target muscle is released from the stretch BEFORE it moves into a protective contraction which defeats the purpose of the stretch. This process is repeated until full range of motion is obtained. Later this can be done alone with the assistance of a rope.

Even within 15 minutes you will see a dramatic increase in flexibility and range of motion.

Reiki
Reiki uses light hand placement on or above a client’s body. Length of the treatment varies according to each client, but generally 45-65minutes.
Reiki is a noninvasive treatment appropriate to complement existing medical protocols with no adverse side effects or contraindications.

Shiatsu
Finger-pressure is primarily used on a client who typically remains clothed. The hands and feet are used to apply pressure to specific points along the body’s surface attempting to open blockages and balance the life force or “chi” in the body. Shiatsu is not massage, even though at times it may feel like one!
