Thai Massage
Recognized by UNESCO as part of humanity’s intangible cultural heritage, Thai Yoga (Thai massage) is an ancient healing system. It incorporates ayurvedic principles, acupressure, and assisted yoga postures to promote holistic health of the mind, body, and spirit.
Thai Yoga uses no oils or lotions. The recipient wears loose, comfortable clothing and lies on a mat on the floor. The body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked. The legs and feet of the giver may be used to position the body or limbs of the recipient. In other positions, the hands fix the body, while the feet do the massaging.
Swedish Massage
This is the classic western massage. The treatment promotes relaxation by releasing muscle tension and has the potential to reduce pain and improve function. It includes soothing strokes, rhythmic percussion, and deep compressive movements. Done on a massage table with lotion.
Deep Tissue Therapy
Firm pressure and slow strokes are used to reach deep layers of muscle and fascia. A treatment for aches, pains, and chronically contracted areas. ‘Knots’ (muscle adhesions) are stiff bands of tissue that can disrupt circulation, cause pain, limit range of motion, and cause inflammation.
The aim of deep tissue therapy is to break up scar tissue and physically break down muscle adhesions. It is very common to feel sore for a day or two after a deep tissue massage. This treatment may cause bruising.
I received Thai massage from Shane earlier this week. I was new to the modality, so Shane explained what to expect and... communicated that if I experienced any discomfort to share with him so he could make any needed adjustments. I didn't need to though. Shane was incredibly intuitive, and his gentle strength helped me feel safe and relaxed so I could experience the healing energetic bodywork being offered.Prior to my session with Shane I was experiencing numbness in my hands/forearms due to overuse. Shane spent a generous amount of time with my hands and forearms, and after the work I had significantly more sensation. I left feeling peaceful and grounded. Highly recommend Shane for bodywork.read more
I came for a massage to work out some FHL pain and tight calves. Shane was very thoughtful and thorough with assessing... what my needs were. He was professional and made sure that the pressure was appropriate. After the massage he also talked about strategies to prevent my FHL from flaring up. My FHL felt much better the next day and would definitely recommend!read more
Shane is very knowledgeable and very in tune with your body’s needs. I have had several injuries to my low back and... legs and he is by far the best therapeutic therapist I have been to. I move so much better and my sleep has improved. I don’t wake up in so much pain anymore. I would highly recommend him and so glad to have found him!!read more
Shane listens to what areas need attention on my body and goes to work on those areas, paying close attention to how... much pressure you want applied to each area.I have received relief from pain generated from old sports injuries that have caused me grief for some time with Shane's Massages.With a healthy diet, exercise and regularly scheduled messages, I have been able to eliminate any need for pain medications and live a pain free, healthier life thanks to Shane's Massage and Bodywork!read more
Wonderful massage as well as great advice on helpful stretching exercises. It was the first time in several months... where my mind was at peace and calm.read more
Shane does a fantastic job every time I see him. He always takes time to really understand what needs work during the... appointment--whether it's work on tight shoulders from being hunched at the computer all day or just a mental escape from daily anxieties. His services have helped my mental health as much as (maybe more than) they've helped me physically. I cannot recommend his services more!read more
Shane does an amazing job giving my massage… At the start, we go over the places I feel are tight and he makes them... feel better, but he always finds muscles that I don’t even realize are tight until he is working on them. He is excellent working on my shoulders and neck and his massage always leaves me feeling better than when I arrived. He is very concerned about making sure that he’s using the right amount of pressure as well as being concerned that the massage is meeting my needs. Shane is a consummate and skilled professional and I am grateful to have found him as my massage therapist.read more
Shane was extremely professional and made me feel at peace. I was somewhat nervous before arriving, but his demeanor... and professionalism quickly set my nerves at ease. He helped me focus my breathing and truly relax during my session. I would highly recommend.read more
I would highly recommend Shane! He is very thorough in his work and does a great job making sure he is meeting your... needs. He is thorough in his approach during the session and listens intently regarding problem areas, making sure he meets your needs. He regularly checks in on his pressure to ensure comfort and need. He is very professional and well spoken, very knowledgable about the body and muscle groups. He takes time to bring positivity in to the room which allows for total relaxation during the session. The office space is private and the location is convenient. I will certainly be back!read more
