Targeted Relief Session

Service Description

This is a more focused treatment designed for the areas of the body causing the most pain, tightness or restriction. Unlike my relaxation massages, this treatment works more specifically into problem areas using a mix of massage techniques, trigger point work, stretching and focused pressure depending on what your body needs that day. People usually book this treatment for things like: • stubborn knots • TMJ and jaw tension • frozen shoulder • tension headaches and migraines • plantar fasciitis • tennis elbow • carpal tunnel syndrome • tight hips • neck and shoulder tension • lower back pain I won’t pretend some of the tighter areas won’t be a bit uncomfortable 🙈 while I’m working through them but the relief afterwards is usually worth it. These treatments tend to work best over a few sessions, especially if the tension or restriction has been building for a long time. Most people usually start noticing a real difference within 3–4 sessions, ideally spaced around 1–2 weeks apart depending on what’s going on in the body. Before the session we’ll have a chat about what’s been going on, where you’re feeling it most and what movements or areas have been bothering you lately. Then the treatment is fully tailored around that. Some areas may need deeper focused work, while others may need slower work first if the muscles are already holding a lot of tension and guarding. You’ll still be tucked under hand crocheted blankets on the heated bed while the cabin stays warm and quiet, but this treatment is much more focused on relief work than deep relaxation. Afterwards, there’s never any rushing you back out the door. You’ll have a bottle of water and a few quiet minutes to properly gather yourself before heading home.
