Pain Free Massage

Are you fearful that massages will hurt? Maybe you’ve had a bad experience with a massage therapist who you felt made you “suck it up” while they sort of beat on you. Well, that is one of my major pet peeves as a therapist. I believe that the client should feel safe and empowered to ask for what they want. I want every one of my clients to feel heard. I hope that they all feel they are getting exactly the massage that they want!

If you or someone you know is hesitant about getting a massage because of this, (come see me first of all!) they may feel more comfortable requesting a Swedish style massage. Swedish massage is one of the most relaxing modalities I utilize. It is the foundation piece that I incorporate in almost all of my massages. It involves the long, flowing movements that are some of the most calming to experience. It is typically light to medium pressure with very unbroken, steady movements.

Even in my deep tissue sessions I like to break it up with some Swedish techniques to help the muscles let go and accept the deeper work and to help maintain the client’s peaceful state of being. And sometimes, less really is more! So, come in and see me. I will put you at ease and I won’t subject you to my own agenda. I always want my clients to feel that I work for them and their needs!
