Bodywork
Bodywork is a targeted, assessment-driven form of manual therapy that hones in on key problem areas to reduce pain and promote better movement. Techniques used may include myofascial release, NMT, stretching, guided movement and more.
Deep Tissue Massage
Our deep tissue massage blends the fundamental core of bodywork technique with a shift in intention towards reducing stress and relieving tension. This comprehensive deep tissue massage places the focus on the cause of your tension as well as the major stress areas of the body to provide relief like you have never experienced with a deep tissue massage before.
Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a technique that creates a deep stretch in the tissue to free chronic tension from the body. Used as the primary technique in Rolfing, ART, and other advanced therapies, MFR is excellent for improving posture, reducing tension-related pain, and better overall movement. This technique is used in our Deep Tissue Massage, Bodywork Therapy and Sports Recovery sessions where needed.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Massage (NMT) is a deep tissue method with a precise focus on muscle bellies and tendons. Consisting of long compressive holds, NMT is used to treat chronic or acute pain, release deeply-guarded tension, and sports recovery. This technique is used in our Deep Tissue Massage, Bodywork Therapy and Sports Recovery sessions where needed.
TMJ Massage
Our TMJ Massage focuses on alleviating the symptoms of TMJ Disorder which include chronic headaches as well as head, neck, teeth, jaw, and face pain. This technique can be performed both inside the mouth and outside of the jaw depending on your comfort level. This technique is used in our Deep Tissue Massage and Bodywork Therapy sessions where needed.
Learn more about Chris
From a young age, Chris had an innate desire to be of service to others. Having done so in various capacities throughout his life, Chris is delighted to now serve others utilizing the manual therapy education he obtained through the North Carolina School of Advanced Bodywork. He entered the world of Bodywork therapy through his journey with physical and emotional pain, limited range of motion, and curiosity for self-healing with guidance. Some of Chris’s pain has been brought on by multiple card accidents – he was never at fault and he is a great driver ;). As well as years of poor posture and unknowingly miss-using his body. Chris’ ongoing journey within the Bodywork therapy world is allowing him to discover the wide range of possibilities within the mind-body connection and he cannot wait to share that experience with YOU as his client. ¨I am thrilled to help you navigate and understand your pain because you say so.¨
Understanding where, why, and what pain is rooted in as well as how he can help heal and educate others has become one of Chris’ missions. NIH National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine reports, ‘Mind-body therapies are among the most widely recommended and used form of complementary and alternative medicine. Nursing has long championed these interventions, citing the healing potential of the mind on physiological systems. Professional beliefs about the inherent holism of the human being are now supported by advances in science; there is basic bench research that now suggests an observable connection between protein expression and stress, mood and hormones as well as the information transduction between the limbic, autonomic, endocrine, immune and neuropeptide systems.1-2 Recent research using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scanning also provide insight about how mind-body therapies work (the mechanism of action) as well as the linkages between brain activity, intervention and physiological/behavioral/emotional changes.’ Mind-body medicine: An overview.
