Services Offered

Julie specializes in a variety of massage techniques tailored to address each client's unique needs.

Triggerpoint Therapy

Triggerpoint therapy is a foundational technique Julie utilizes to effectively address muscle pain and tension. Triggerpoints, known as "knots" in muscles, arise from repetitive movements or lack of movement, causing restrictions in blood flow and muscle function. Unlike other triggerpoint therapies that solely focus on referral patterns, Julie employs a holistic approach, targeting and releasing triggerpoints throughout the entire muscle group for comprehensive relief. This method proves particularly effective when other massage techniques fail to provide lasting results.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia to alleviate chronic muscle pain, improve posture, and enhance flexibility. It's a therapeutic approach that targets areas of tightness and tension, often stemming from repetitive movements, injuries, or prolonged periods of inactivity. While some associate deep tissue massage with intense pain, Julie's technique prioritizes client comfort. She focuses on adjusting pressure levels to achieve optimal results without causing unnecessary discomfort.

Deep tissue massage proves beneficial for a range of conditions, including back and neck pain, herniated discs, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, plantar fasciitis, and computer-related muscle strain.

Wellness Massage

Julie also offers a range of wellness massage sessions designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

These sessions can incorporate various techniques, such as Swedish massage, aromatherapy, and hot stone therapy, to create a customized experience tailored to each client's individual needs.
