Courtney's massage techniques include:

Deep Tissue

Deep tissue massage uses more focused techniques to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia.  It is recommended that the client have experience with massage before jumping into this deeper form of bodywork.    


Lymphatic

Lymphatic massage is a type of gentle massage which encourages the natural drainage of the lymph from the tissues. The lymphatic system is a network of slow moving vessels in the body that is responsible for the removal of cellular waste and toxic microbes from the body.  This type of massage helps in detoxification of the body and in stimulating the body's immune system.

Prenatal

Prenatal massage is specialized for the pregnant woman.  There are some areas of the body that may be unsafe to apply excessive pressure to while pregnant.  It is important if you are pregnant that your massage therapist is trained in this type of bodywork.  

Swedish

Swedish massage is a more relaxing massage using longer, flowing strokes to ease tension in the muscles.  It is effective in reducing pain and joint stiffness.

Reflexology

Reflexology massage involves pressure applied to the feet in zones that correspond to areas of the body.  This can have an effect of relieving tension in those corresponding areas of the body by massaging only the feet.

 

 

 

Postnatal

Postnatal massage is specialized for a woman who has just given birth.  Massage can be very helpful as a mother is going through her recovery process in the first 6 months after labor.  Unless a doctor otherwise indicates, massage can be received as soon as the mother is ready.

Sports

Sports massage uses techniques, including stretching, designed for athletes to increase joint mobilization and range of motion to improve performance.  It is also a great way to recover after workouts and competitions.


Energy Work

A type of alternative healing by which the practitioner may use hands-on and/or hands-off methods to bring healing energy to the client.

 

 

 

 

 

Infant

Infant massage is a gentle massage for an infant.  The massage therapist follows the natural movements that the infant makes while applying light pressure and oil appropriate for a baby's sensitive skin.  The parent(s) may be present and may also find themselves learning helpful techniques.
