The Calming Sun offers many different
types of bodywork
to serve your health and relaxation needs.
Each client's massage service will be
customized using a combination of the following
techniques, in order to give the best result for each individual's needs.
|
Myofascial Release "Great for chronic pain like Fibromyalgia and TMJ." Myofascial Release works by the manipulation of the fascia that connects and surrounds muscles. Because the fascia is body-wide, a tension or trauma in one part of the body is thought to affect another part though the fascia. The fascia responds to massage by releasing the adverse effects of inflammation, tensions and trauma. |

Deep Tissue Massage
"For those who like a deeper massage ." Deep Tissue massage works out the deeper
underlying "knots" and muscle issues. This service is great
for clients with chronic tension, and/or well defined muscles, such
as contractors and athletes. |

Trigger Point Therapy

still can't seem to relax those shoulder Trigger Point Therapy examines and treats muscles and muscle attachments in layers. It addresses surface muscles, connective tissues and deeper ligaments. It is closely aligned with the eastern technique of Acupressure Massage. |

Swedish Massage "Wonderful for those times that you just to let go and relax." Swedish massage employs soft strokes on the more delicate
and bony structures of the body, such as the face, hands and feet.
It applies stronger strokes over thickly muscled areas that retain
stress - such as the neck and shoulders. Careful attention to the
amount of pressure used makes Swedish massage great for relaxation. |

Reflexology "An ancient art that can still bring us relief and healing today." Foot Reflexology is an ancient form of "pressure treatment" and involves applying focused pressure to certain known "reflex" points located in the foot - which correspond to other areas within the body.Some of the recognized benefits from receiving a reflexology treatment include increased circulation, relaxation, and release of tensions. |

Reiki "Reiki healing is a natural therapy that gently balances life energies and brings health and well being too!" Reiki is a specific type of subtle energy
work in which healing is performed by the touch of the hands - allowing
energy flow from a limitless source (God Force) to the patient via
the Reiki practitioner. One of the greatest Reiki healing health benefits is stress reduction and relaxation and it triggers the body's natural healing abilities thereby improving and maintaining your health. |
