What to expect at Bodhi | Treatments we offer

Massage Therapy specializes in the manual manipulation of your body's soft tissue. It is used to treat acute and chronic conditions, and is effective as a preventative measure that has benefits for total well being. Following are the techniques we utilize most during treatments:

REMEDIAL MASSAGE THERAPY

After a proper history and assessment, Remedial Massage often helps reduce pain and increase mobility. Its aim is not to relax or reduce stress but to aid in physical relief to our clients. Based on Swedish massage techniques using light or deep pressure and muscle energy mobilization, we try to achieve our goals.

MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE

A technique that when applied directly is based on the principle of reciprocal inhibition, and when applied indirectly is based on post contraction relaxation. The goal is to reduce muscle spasm or increase length of a tissue. 

SPORTS MASSAGE

It combines different massage techniques to enhance sports performance and recuperation. It is an effective component of any training program. Sports massage may involve prevention and maintenance, on site pre and post event massage and rehabilitation programs for those who are injured.

RELAXATION MASSAGE

A smooth flowing style that promotes general relaxation, improves circulation and relieves muscular tension. It can also be used as a great assessment tool and guide for the appropriate treatment of any issues that could eventually become chronic.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

It is a very effective hands on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. The term myofascial refers to the connective tissue that covers and is between every muscle, bone, nerve, artery, vein and internal organs. If the fascia becomes shortened or restricted from trauma or repetitive movement like poor posture it needs to be lengthened. The therapist uses a very slow technique with no oil or lotion to release these restrictions to decrease pain and increase movement.

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

It is a gentle hands on method of evaluating and enhancing functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system, which is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Using a soft touch, therapists release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. The client’s clothing can remain on for this type of treatment. This treatment can be good for chronic neck and back pains, headaches, migraines, TMJ dysfunctions, and many nervous system disorders.

LYMPH DRAINAGE THERAPY

It is a hands on method of lymph drainage using distinctive manual processes. The therapists perform manual lymph mapping of the vessels to assess overall circulation and determine the best alternate pathways for draining body fluid stagnations. Lymph drainage can be helpful with burns, scars, insomnia, headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and pre and post surgery.

REMEDIAL EXERCISE

Remedial exercises are designed to address imbalances with counter balance movements which will then over a period of time return the muscles to their balanced state. Daily exercise programs are set to suit the individual’s needs and lifestyles.

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

It is a refined area of massage therapy which focuses on specific trigger points. A “Trigger Point” is an area of tightness in the muscle which can cause referral patterns in the body. The therapists use heavier pressure in the spot of focus in order to reduce the area of tightness.
