Therapeutic Massage
Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy – Pfrimmer utilizes deep cross-fiber strokes with the thumbs and fingers. Developed by Therese C. Pfrimmer, a registered massage therapist and physiotherapist from Ontario, Canada. Pfrimmer technique establishes a foundation for corrective massage upon which other troubleshooting techniques may be added. The work enables free flow of lymph and blood, as well as improving joint movements and the removal of waste products from the muscle tissue. Conditions that benefit from Pfrimmer include arthritis, multiple sclerosis, headache, and fibromyalgia, among others.
Prenatal/Pregnancy – is performed by a trained perinatal therapist. Many methods of massage and somatic therapies are both effective and safe prenatally and during labor and postpartum periods. Prenatally, specific techniques can reduce pregnancy discomforts and concerns and enhance the physiological and emotional well-being of both mother and developing infant.
IMPORTANT: Women should discuss massage with their prenatal care provider before making an appointment, as with any therapeutic approach.
