The Intergrative Approach-Body work by Alex

Integrative Bodywork

As the licensed massage therapist and health educator of Integrative Approach Massage, I work to improve clients’ overall health by taking a holistic approach to therapeutic care through Integrative Bodywork.

Integrative Bodywork is the culmination of multiple bodywork modalities such as Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Connective Tissue Massage, Thai Yoga Massage, Shiatsu, and Reflexology, to name a few. Each client will have a personal consultation with me, during which I will assess the client’s individual needs, present and past injuries, and bodywork preferences. The result of my intake is a completely tailored Integrative Bodywork session that will help each client along their journey towards recovery and wellness.

This comprehensive form of massage therapy is associated with dozens of health benefits. Clients of Integrative Bodywork have experienced a decrease in lower back pain, headache frequency, high blood pressure and joint pain. Additionally, they’ve experienced an increase of blood and oxygen flow to the muscles, an improved immune system and flexibility throughout the body.

Feeling is truly believing! Visit The Integrative Approach Massage for a consultation with me and discover how Integrative Bodywork can help you to approach life with renewed zest and work to their best ability. Everyone deserves a life full of vitality and well-being!

	Integrative Bodywork Session   Alex creates a comprehensive session drawing on various bodywork modalities to meet each client’s specific needs. Highly skilled in Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Connective Tissue Therapy, Reflexology, Acupressure, Trigger Point Therapy, Polarity Therapy, and Thai Yoga Massage, Alex can integrate all of these modalities seamlessly into one unique session designed specifically for you!
	Deep Tissue Massage This massage uses slow strokes and deep pressure to work on tight areas to release specific muscle tension and restore flexibility. Deep-Tissue Massage is generally slower than Swedish, this technique goes deeper into the muscle and connective tissue to release chronic tension which might have developed from injury or overuse.
	Myofascial Release (Connective Tissue Therapy) Myofascial Release (also known as Connective Tissue Therapy), is considered to be one of the most effective methods of health care to relieve chronic pain and restore function and mobility. Using steady directionally focused pressure, fascial restrictions and adhesions are normalized, resulting in elimination of pain, increased range of motion and re-balancing of the body’s interdependent web of connective tissue.
	Swedish Massage Calm your mind, body, and spirit with a massage at your requested intensity. This massage will alleviate stiffness and fatigue as well as improve circulation.
	Thai Yoga Massage Alex guides his recipient through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body’s energy ("Sen”) lines and pressures points. Together these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically.Thai Yoga Massage is performed on a mat on the floor; both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement and flexibility. No oils or creams are used.
	Reflexology Reflexology is a relaxing way to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. Applying pressure to specific points on the feet promotes energy flow and relieves tension throughout the body.

Thai Yoga Massage

Thai Yoga Massage is performed on the floor in loose and comfortable clothing. In receiving this massage one is also receiving the benefits of the practice of yoga. Sometimes described as assisted Hatha yoga, a Thai Yoga Massage also incorporates acupressure, palming and thumbing along energy lines, gentle stretching, rhythmic motion and reflexology. In addition to stretching and tonifying the muscles, Thai Yoga Massage improves circulation, relieves muscular tension, boosts immune function, and balances the body energetically.
