Deep Tissue Massage Services
What's Involved? Whether your Deep Tissue Massage is a one-time visit or part of a series, Anna will take the time to speak with you about your specific chronic and acute aches, pains and injuries. She'll also offer information to you about stretches, exercises, posture, and other self-care activities that will help to diminish pain and support your well-being.
Therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage
After ten years of practice, Anna's bodywork is tailored to meet the needs of the individual client. No two sessions are exactly alike, but the focus is always both precise and generalized. We are working on releasing adhesions in the tissue to enhance biomechanical functionality of the whole.
FIRST SESSION
Plan on arriving ten minutes early, so you can complete the health history form before your session. Anna will discuss your needs and medical history, focusing on musculoskeletal injuries and any other meaningful past traumas or chronic conditions. We'll discuss your daily habits, work circumstances, repetitive activities, sports and fitness and review your goals for the session and teach you the Core 5-Point Check-In. You'll be asked to undress down to your undies, and lie under a sheet, typically on your back but maybe not depending on the interview. Then we'll work on your body, incorporating a variety of methods including stretches, passive movement, and deep tissue massage.

Structural Integration
Traditional Structural Integration utilizes the ten-session series designed by Ida Rolf to reorient the body in gravity. It is infamous for being painful, what we sometimes euphemistically refer to as "sensory challenging". Working with Anna is likely to be challenging, but the collaborative nature of the process requires that all the work be within acceptable limits to the client. In other words, it's up to you, you are in charge. If the work is too intense, ask for less. Please note it really doesn't work the other way around. Anna strays from the herd of Structural Integration in that she does not follow the ten sessions, although many of the principals overall are important components of the bodywork performed. This means you won't be asked to commit to ten sessions. Nor will the ten session recipe sequence be followed. Your treatment will be tailored, as always, to the needs you present and we find together.
Sports Massage
Athletes are always striving for better biomechanical functionality. Working with Anna will help you achieve that objective. If you want to avoid injuries during training, recover from training strains you incur, improve your performance, and plan for post-event recovery, working with Anna will help you.
Pregnancy Massage
Anna believes that pregnant women still need therapeutic massage, and she provides it with the proper safety precautions for alignment and ligament laxity that are important considerations. Side-lying treatment is a common component of Anna's treatment for everyone, but it is a critical option for pregnant clients as the belly interferes with lying face down. If you like to get deep tissue massage and you are pregnant, you'll be pleased to work with Anna.
Whether you suffer from chronic aches and soreness, or periodic acute stress-related muscular pain, Anna approaches each individual Masssage session as a collaborative endeavor based on your needs in the moment. During a Deep Tissue Massage session with Anna, you are empowered to guide treatment. Anna's role is to help you understand how tension develops in your body, and she encourages you stay in touch with your body on a day-to-day basis.
