Deep Tissue Massage |
|
| |
Deep tissue massage is a type of
massage aimed at the deeper tissue
structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue.
Deep
tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as
Swedish
massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also
a more
focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic
muscle
tension or knots (also known as "adhesions").

Trigger Point Therapy |
|
|
A trigger point is a hyperirritable
spot in a muscle that is painful. It is called
a trigger point because it "triggers" a painful response. But a
trigger point is
more than a tender nodule. It affects not only the muscle where the
trigger
point is located, but also causes "referred pain" in tissues
supplied by nerves.
Trigger points are located in a taut band of muscles fibers. The
trigger point
is the most tender point in the band. The therapist will locate and
deactivate
them using very specific finger pressure.
Corinne has worked extensively
with:
athletic pain
headaches
acute and chronic back pain
muscle pain
associated
with accidents/ injuries
rotator cuff injuries
fibromyalgia
