Swedish Massage

The term Swedish Massage refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to

relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and

rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Some of the

strokes used in Swedish Massage are; effleurage, petrissage, friction, vibration,

percussion and passive and active movements

Intuitive Massage

In this type of massage, the therapist listens with the hands and intuition  to what is

being communicated by the client’s body and energy fields, and translates this into a

massage tailored to the specific needs of the client at that time. The techniques used

will show up instinctively and may cross the boundaries of more than one modality of

bodywork during the same session.

There is an allowance for whatever is needed at the time and the therapist does not

steer the massage in any way. One might say the therapist is guided by a higher

realm of collective understanding, which is always working for the benefit of both the

client and the therapist. The session works to the levels the client is able to integrate.

Medical Massage

Medical Massage is the type of massage that is prescribed by a doctor and

addresses medical conditions through researched massage techniques for the

specific condition. e.g.: tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar faciitis, etc...

Shiatsu

Shiatsu  is the application of finger pressure to the acupressure points located on the

meridians of the body to balance the five elements of the body.

Used to promote the free movement of Chi throughout the body, Shiatsu is very

relaxing and can have a profound effect on the body. Sean’s technique focuses

more on the energetic level with a very light touch.
