Massage Therapy

Feeling Stressed?

When it comes to Massage Therapy, there’s no more natural and healthful way to bring your body to a relaxed state than a Swedish Massage. It features long, slow, gliding motions. Pressure is often light to moderate and will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after the session.

Feeling tight?

Deep Tissue Massage is especially effective in promoting the release of chronic tension in tight muscles. It works the deeper muscular layers of the body.

It will facilitate the break-up and/or mobilization of scar tissue, promote effective circulation in those areas where the session is focused, and will assist in releasing painful trigger points.

Range-of-motion problems?

As a Myofascial Release Massage Therapist in Connecticut, Matt DeMichele, LMT, assists in increasing flexibility in movement and range-of-motion by “opening” the fascia—a substance that wraps around each individual muscle fiber and serves to protect the muscle as well.

Especially when coupled with Active Isolated Stretching, clients often note a marked improvement in joint flexibility, and over time, postural improvements as well.

Weekend Warrior or Serious Athlete?

Sports Massage assists Athletes of all kinds in preparing for or recovering from sports-related work or events. Sports massage sessions are custom-tailored, based on a variety of factors including your performance, recovery, injuries (if present), or injury prevention.

Sports Massage is a great way to augment sports training you may be receiving from an athletic trainer or coach.

Seeking Pain Relief?

Therapeutic Massage is widely recognized as a legitimate form of therapy for many painful conditions. Therapeutic Massage promotes relaxation of painful muscles, tendons, and joints. It stimulates nerve fibers in such a way that it impedes pain messages to and from the brain.

Recovering from an injury?

Orthopedic Massage is a comprehensive system of massage techniques that involves a thorough intake and assessment of your needs and a treatment program designed to maximize the benefit of your rehabilitation.

Methods used for Orthopedic Massage are specific to the nature of the injury and/or tissue being worked.

Orthopedic Massage naturally complements work that you may already be doing as part of a physical therapy, exercise, strength training, or stretching regiment.

Prefer Your Home or Workplace?

Chair Massage is a great option if you prefer to receive a massage in the comfort of your home or office. Sessions focus on the upper body—you are fully clothed and supported by a massage chair.

Or, if you prefer Travel Massage, any of the massage services listed above can be offered in the comfort of your CT home. For answers to any questions, please contact us directly.
