DEEPER STILL

AMAZING MASSAGE

“I received the 2.5 hour Deeper Still Massage and all I can say is OMG, OMG, OMG! What an amazing therapist. She anticipated all of my needs. I kept thinking I don’t know how this massage can get any better. However, she kept me pleasantly surprised throughout the massage with all of these nice treats, such as the hot towels, enriched healing balms, a warm neck wrap and the placing and use of the warm stones. This place is a gem and is so worth enjoying. I will certainly be coming back here with friends and family! Thanks! Everything was beyond perfect! :)” A.G.

This special massage takes your deep tissue session to the next level with the added benefits of additional thermo and cryotherapy. For maximum benefit, with this therapeutic focused session, Christa uses a number of different methods, including hot towel compresses, warmed stones and specialized deep tissue tools. Expert techniques, designed to work the deeper muscles and connective tissues of the body, help to realign and relax the body in the most minimally invasive way possible. These can include trigger point therapy, myofascial release, fascia blasting, joint mobilization, cross fiber, gua sha, cupping, ect. It is especially good for those who are experiencing chronic pain, restricted range of motion, recovering from an injury, or have scar tissue that needs worked out. If you are an athletic, have large muscle mass or often find regular massages, or even a regular deep tissue massage, does not go deep enough for you, then this is the massage for you. It is especially helpful for stiff necks, sore shoulders and tightness in the back and hips.

With this deep tissue session Christa also addresses and look for fascia restriction and scar tissue. Such issues is often the root of what is binding up the muscle and connective tissue. Since fascia surrounds all of our tissues, this work actually is often not so much ‘deeper’ but rather more focused. You will know when we find such because this tissue will often have a pulling sensation, sometimes described as a sharp itchy response which can also feeling like we are scratching you. It can sometimes make a popping sound as we stretch it out. The binding and restriction in fascia is also often found in the areas of the body that is opposite to where you are actually experiencing your discomfort. She then applies pressure very slowly, to the areas we find this, at a level where we begin to feel tissue resistance. When doing this, we wait for the muscle and soft tissues to release and stretch, while allowing the touch and “tools” to sink in more deeply. We are not trying to “do” anything, but rather allow the muscle and soft tissue to open and stretch, while we look to follow the muscle’s lead.

Depending on the person, sometimes the muscle and soft tissue doesn’t release for several minutes, or it is not ready to release at all that day. What is key is that we do NOT use force when doing this work and we ALWAYS focus on BODY COMFORTABLE and BODY BREATHING. If you can’t take a slow relaxing breath into the work, then we both know the work is TOO DEEP. Using force can actually be more damaging to your tissues and begin a vicious cycle of creating persistent trigger points that require you to keep breaking them down to maintain movement. The added MOIST heat used in the DEEPER STILL sessions allows the fascia to soften from a still crystalline form into a softer, more malleable gelatinous, form. When it is in this state the body becomes much more receptive to the deeper work.

For the DEEPER STILL sessions, for best results and depending on what each person needs, Christa also introduce specialized analgesics and balms. These help increase circulation and bring down inflammation.
