Massage By Helen

At Helen's Massage Therapy Services, we understand the importance of taking care of our bodies and minds in today's fast-paced world. That's why we offer a range of massage therapy services designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

A Brief Overview of Our Services

Our team, led by Helen, a registered massage therapist with many years of experience, offers a variety of massage therapy services to cater to individual needs. We specialize in Swedish Relaxation Massage, Myofascial Therapy, and Energy Boost Massage.

Swedish Relaxation Massage

Our Swedish Relaxation Massage is a medium-pressure relaxation massage performed using oil or lotion. This primary type of Western massage is designed to induce relaxation, enhance circulation, and increase range of motion. The therapist applies oil to the body and gradually administers a series of strokes, including gliding, kneading, rubbing, and tapping movements. Swedish massage can help remove toxins from the body, deliver nutrients to tissues and cells more efficiently, and aid in the recovery from strains and trauma.

Myofascial Therapy

Myofascial Therapy is a form of deep tissue massage that releases areas of restriction and dysfunction within the fascial tissue. Unlike other forms of deep tissue massage, our Myofascial Therapy is designed to be comfortable, working within the body's natural responses rather than against them. We use very little oil or lotion during this type of massage and focus on loosening the outermost layers of the epidermis before targeting the innermost layers of connective tissue and fascia.

Energy Boost Massage

Our Energy Boost Massage uses essential oils to increase vitality and vitality. We mix essential oils in a base oil and apply them to the body using Swedish Massage techniques. Hot and cold compresses are also used to help the essential oils enter the bloodstream, resulting in an invigorating experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Helen's Massage Therapy Services, we strive to provide an exceptional experience for all our clients. To better serve you, we've addressed some of the most common questions and concerns below.

What Can a Massage Do for Me?

One of the primary reasons people seek massage therapy is due to stress and fatigue. By introducing the experience of touch, massage can help individuals reconnect with their natural state of being and prioritize their overall well-being.

What is the First Appointment Like?

During your first appointment, Helen will begin by asking you health questions to assess any conditions that may affect your massage therapy session. Depending on the massage technique, you may be required to undress partially or fully. You'll relax on a padded table designed for stability and comfort, and Helen will offer you cushions or an adjustable face rest for support.

What Should I Do During a Massage?

To ensure a comfortable and relaxing experience, make yourself comfortable and adjust your position as needed. You're also encouraged to ask questions or request changes to your position at any time. Remember, it's your massage, and whatever feels natural to you is the best way to relax.

How Will a Massage Feel?

Most people find that massage on healthy tissue feels good and relaxing. You may experience discomfort during the massage, especially if Helen targets areas of tension or injury. However, we strive to minimize pain and work within your comfort level at all times.

What Is a Massage Therapist?

At Helen's Massage Therapy Services, we take pride in our team's extensive education and training in various bodywork techniques, anatomy, and physiology. Our registered massage therapists have completed extensive studies and are licensed to provide professional massage therapy services.

How Long Is a Session?

Our standard session length is one hour, which provides ample time for a deeply relaxing full-body massage or targeted work on specific areas, such as the back, neck, and shoulders. We also offer 1.5-hour sessions for more in-depth work or to address specific areas of concern.

What Should I Expect Afterwards?

After a massage therapy session, it's common to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. You may experience an increase in energy levels that can last for several days. Some people may not notice dramatic results immediately, but watch for changes over the next few days, such as reduced pain, increased mobility, or reduced stress.
