Services
Structural Therapeutic Massage is intent on providing the best services possible to the Tampa community. Through the application of SET, our goal is to restore balance in the body and relieve stress and fatigue from the core distortion pattern within the soft tissue of the entire body. The end result for the client is an increased quality of life and a healthier body. At Structural Therapeutic Massage customer satisfaction is my main objective.
Structural Energetic Therapy® (SET):
This is typically a 1 1/2 hour session beginning with an evaluation to allow me to access the client's condition. After the client completes an intake form, I perform a postural analysis by visually accessing body posture and alignment. Muscle testing is completed to confirm the body reading. The results of the postural analysis will allow me to identify the specific postural imbalance of the client. Treatments usually begin with cranial/structural therapy to initiate a release of the body's holding patterns (imbalances), and thereby begin the rebalancing. At this point, the client's body begins to unwind. This unwinding often releases enough tension to noticeably reduce spasms and pain symptoms, preparing the soft tissue for more extensive body work.
Following the cranial releases, I perform a specific sequence of techniques, developed through SET, applied to protocols that have been developed to release old structural patterns that cause specific painful conditions.
I first address the primary area of discomfort working from the superficial myofascial layers to the deeper soft tissue layers. This releases any restrictions causing imbalances in other areas of the body. When this is accomplished, the whole structure supports balance and function, and maximum rehabilitation is achieved. SET treatments are the most effective and time efficient massage therapy practiced.
Sport Massage
This is a one hour session which utilizes specific massage strokes and stretches to help obtain maximum performance and physical conditioning with less chance of injury or pain. It increases power, endurance, and flexibility both before and after an event or workout.
Therapeutic Massage
A one hour session incorporates a range of therapeutic approaches involving soft tissue manipulation, with the intent of improving the client's state of well-being or health.
Reflexology
A one hour session of gentle therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and hands. Reflexology is based on the belief that there are specific areas on the feet and hands that correspond to all the parts of the body and major organs. By applying pressure to these areas on the feet and hands good health is achieved.
Acupressure
A one hour session of applied techniques based upon the ancient Chinese principles of acupuncture. It involves the use of finger pressure on specific points along the body to release blocked or congested energy centers in the body and promote good health.
Chair Massage
If you're hosting a special event or would like to bring the benefits of massage into your workplace, Chair Massage is what you're looking for. Chair massage is a great way to increase a person's state of well-being and health in a short period of time. The client remains fully clothed while seated in a chair specially designed for massage. Massage techniques are then applied to the client's shoulders, neck, upper back, head, and arms. Numerous clients are able to be served in this manner because the length of each session is 10 - 20 minutes.
A female massage therapist is available upon your request.
