Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a technique that helps clients stretch more effectively by eliminating the stretch reflex. Passive isolated stretching is when the client remains in a relaxed state as the isolated muscle is being stretched. It can be hard in our daily life to take the time needed to attend to our body and stretch for the proper amounts of time. As therapists we can work with the client and use breathing techniques to increase range of motion and assist in holding the stretch for the proper amount of time needed to gain the benefits.

Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils from herbs or flowers for their curative properties.

This fully clothed and off the body experience tackles challenges and heavy energy located in the aura or biofield which can extend as much as 12 feet away from the physical body.

The client lays on the massage table as the practitioner looks for any areas of weakness, stuckness, cloudiness, dullness, or unevenness in your aura. With the use of audible tuning forks and brass singing bowls, these sound healing tools will be used to clear and smooth out issues in the aura, allowing the client to feel more at ease, physically lighter, and more prepared to conquer life’s challenges. This session does not involve physical touch. This session is offered by Tee only.

The practitioner will be standing off to the side, differing from an on the body Reiki session, and will speak a prescribed sequence that will call forth Reiki healing energy to facilitate the session as you are in a relaxing meditative state. Calming music will be played as the practitioner utilizes gentle sound therapy instruments such as chimes and a rain stick to add moments of transition within the session.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) uses a hands-on technique that involves gentle stretching and release of tissue to help the lymphatic system function more efficiently. A properly functioning lymphatic system is critical to our body’s ability to drain stagnant fluids, detoxify, regenerate/heal tissue, filter out toxins and foreign substances, and maintain a healthy immune system.

Manual therapy uses massage and stretching of muscle and fascia (connective tissue) as well as slow, controlled joint mobilization, to improve bio-mechanical elasticity; decrease pain; increase range of motion; reduce soft tissue inflammation; improve tissue repair, extensibility and/or stability; facilitate movement, and improve function. In short, it can improve mobility in areas that are restricted; in joints, in connective tissues or in skeletal muscles. Manual therapy can be helpful in addressing or preventing chronic pain issues from developing.

Chronic pain can begin with injury, illness or even stress, each element amplifying the other and creating a self-perpetuating cycle. Medical massage at Eye Street Massage Therapy is performed with the intent of improving conditions that have been diagnosed by a physician. It can relieve muscle tension, reduce nerve pressure, increase circulation, release trigger points, and restore movement.

To understand this brand of therapy it is important to know what the fascia is. The fascia, is the outer layer of the Myofascia which covers the muscles but is under the skin. Fascia is similar to tendons and ligaments in that they are all connective tissue and are made of collagen. Myofascial release is quite relaxing in itself as the process is quite gentle. Myofascial release therapy focuses on “unsticking” places where the fascia is stuck or glued to relieve the tension and guide the muscles into their proper place.

Neuromuscular therapy is used to reduce chronic pain and normalize body posture by selectively loosening tight muscles and connective tissue. It is effective for many soft tissue pain problems including back and neck pain, headaches including migraines, hip and shoulder pain, numbness and tingling in the arms or legs, and the soft tissue aspects of fibromyalgia syndrome.

Reflexology, or zone therapy, is a complementary modality that is based on the principle that every organ, gland, and body part corresponds to a reflex point on the feet, hands, or ears. A reflex point is every point that you press that corresponds to an organ, gland or body part. By applying pressure on reflex areas on the hands, feet, or ears, reflexology opens up circulatory and lymphatic pathways, brings balance to the nervous system, and enhances deep relaxation.
