Neuromuscular massage helps to release these areas , resulting in reduced pain and discomfort , as well as increased range of motion and performance ,” says Tracey Thompson , a neuromuscular massage therapist and owner of Thompson Therapy . “ It ’ s always best to address the area of concern as well as the full body to promote overall healing and recovery .”
Thompson provides both 60- and 90-minute neuromuscular , trigger point and sports massage therapy sessions to her clients at the collective .
Sheryl Brinson , owner and founder of EmbodiWorks and creator of the 3D Ashiatsu Massage , says many of her clients use massage as a primary source to stay physically and mentally healthy . She offers single appointments and a wellness program in which clients choose from a stress reliever massage , 3D Super Deep — Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage ( a massage that combines the use of the therapist ’ s hands and feet ), sports corrective massage and pregnancy massage .
Healing Arts owner Gabi Purrer practices both touch ( massage ) and nontouch therapy with her clients , which is dictated by each person ’ s specific healing needs , and assists in connecting communication between the body , mind , heart and soul .
“ Through deep listening , intuition , talk therapy , touch , bodywork and / or art , I am a facilitator of personal transformation for my clients ,” Purrer says . “ I use my intuitive and sensory gifts to develop a sacred relationship with my clients , and by holding a space of unconditional love , guide them back to the truth of who they are in order for them to live an empowered , healthy and full life .” g
