Stretch Therapy
Stretch Therapy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on stretching and releasing the fascia, which is the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints in the body. During a Stretch Therapy session, the therapist utilizes gentle, assisted stretching techniques to lengthen the fascia and alleviate tension in targeted areas. Through careful assessment of the client's mobility and areas of restriction, the therapist customizes the stretches to address individual needs, aiming to alleviate pain, enhance posture, boost athletic performance, and prevent injuries by restoring balance and alignment in the body.
During your treatment, you will remain fully clothed, so please come dressed in comfortable athletic attire. At Panacea Massage Therapy, Stretch Therapy falls within the scope of Massage Therapy practice and will be billed as a Massage Therapy treatment.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including, muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage Therapy is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions. There are tremendous benefits to be achieved through regular massage therapy treatments. Whether your need is to have a moment of relaxation, reduce muscle tension or attain relief from chronic pain, a therapeutic massage can enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical well-being.
Massage Therapists today use their knowledge of physiology and anatomy to combine traditional Swedish and modern massage therapy techniques with other therapies to treat their clients. There has been a wide variety of research, published in peer reviewed journals, proving the benefits of massage therapy for various conditions. Massage Therapy can also be used as part of a preventative care program. This includes sports training, injury prevention, ongoing stress management, and more! Together, you and your therapist will develop a treatment plan based on your needs. The treatment plan can be changed at any time and you have no obligation to undergo any part of treatment. Your treatment begins after you've given your informed consent.
Massage + Stretch Therapy
Massage + Stretch Therapy is a comprehensive treatment that combines the benefits of both modalities. The treatment typically begins with a massage therapy treatment, where the therapist works on releasing muscle tension and promoting relaxation. After the massage, you will have a moment to get dressed before transitioning into the Stretch Therapy portion of the treatment. During this phase, the focus shifts to stretching and releasing the fascia to further enhance posture and mobility.
At Panacea Massage Therapy, Massage + Stretch Therapy falls within the scope of Massage Therapy practice and will be billed as a Massage Therapy treatment.
Massage + Acupuncture
Also referred to as Neurofunctional Acupuncture because it is rooted on current concepts of neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and pathophysiology. Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique, in which fine solid needles are inserted and stimulated with or without electricity for the therapeutic purpose of modulating abnormal activity of the nervous, endocrine, exocrine and immune systems. Only single use disposable sterile needles are used. With this treatment, the therapist will use the combination of massage with acupuncture.
At Panacea Massage Therapy, Acupuncture performed by a Registered Massage Therapist is performed within the scope of Massage Therapy practice. A Massage + Acupuncture treatment will be billed as a Massage Therapy treatment.
