Massage therapists at Avena Natural Health Care are trained in a variety of massage techniques. If you don't know what you need, call us and discuss your needs with one of our practitioners.
Avena Natural Health Care offers the following styles of massage:
Remedial Massage
This is a firm massage technique which allows your muscular aches and pains to melt away, leaving you feeling supple and invigorated. Using these techniques, you can relieve years of tightness and free yourself from headaches and other symptoms caused by tight muscles.
Sports massage
This is a stimulating massage which allows your body to warm up before exercise or to unwind afterwards. Your muscles will be stretched and pummelled allowing lactic acid to be removed from the muscles resulting in less pain and stiffness after exercise and allowing a more even muscle tone to form.
Keeping the muscles conditioned enables athletes to train and perform more consistently and at a higher level.
Avena Natural Health Care is able to provide onsite sports massage for your sporting event. Contact us for details.
Lymphatic drainage massage
This is an extremely light and calming technique used to stimulate the lymphatic circulation.
Reduce pain and stiffness from arthritis, boost your immunity and improve sinus congestion. There is no muscular work involved in this technique.
