Therapeutic Massage
I will locate the root cause of your pain and bring relief!
At Shannon Hendricks Healing Arts, I understand that everyone has unique life experiences that can generate pain or discomfort. I also understand that pain affects those of all ages. The root of this pain is what we locate and destroy. This is why I utilize Therapeutic Massage as the base to my healing services. I customize the massage to meet each individual person’s needs utilizing a variety of modalities (see some examples below). I have the skill, knowledge and equipment to accommodate soon to be Mothers. I offer special pricing to honor our military and to assist the elderly (62 and over) alike. I believe that everyone deserves to live a pain-free life and I am here to eliminate that pain, no matter the source.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). It’s used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
Trigger Point Massage
Trigger Point Massage also known as neuromuscular therapy consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle spasm. Pressure is applied with the fingers, knuckles, and/or elbow in ten to thirty second intervals to effectively alleviate the muscle spasm. Trigger Point Massage works by relaxing the muscle in order to release stored lactic acid and encourage blood and oxygen circulation to the muscle to avoid the production of more lactic acid. The therapeutic pressure and massage typically produces initial soreness and “good pain” in muscle tissue.
