Services & Rates
30 Minute Spot Treatment
This service was designed with those in mind who are short on time, finances, or who want to try me out without committing to a 60 or 90 minute session. With a 30 minute session, I can focus on one main complaint area (either upper body- neck, shoulders, back/low back, or lower body- legs/feet). This service is good for either Swedish or Deep Tissue modalities.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports 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. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Pregnancy Massage- Coming Soon!
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
Prenatal massage is safe to receive from the first weeks of pregnancy to the final days before birth.
Couples Massage
Unfortunately, couples' massages can not be accommodated due to me being a solo therapist. Back-to-back appointments may be scheduled through the online scheduler (pending time and availability). If you'd rather be together, please consider my friends Tom and Cheryl Williams at Birmingham Massage Couple (www.bhammassagecouple.com). They are the best around and will truly make your couples' massage experience a wonderful one!
