Massage
Massage therapy is an essential part of caring for yourself in today’s busy world. At Brennan Institute, we offer sessions based on the amount of time. Session rates are $75 (half hour), $125 (hour) and $165 (hour and a half). Gift certificates are available.
Modalities include:
Swedish
Swedish massage uses slow compressions to provide relaxation by manipulating muscles and tissue with a light to medium pressure massage to improve circulation and release chronic tension and pain in muscles. Beneficial for post surgery or injury, headaches, rehabilitation, back or neck pain, and personal stress or anxiety.
Aromatherapy
Essential oils provide increased relaxation and stress reduction.
Prenatal and Post-natal
Prenatal massage is used to bring relief to the constant changing body of an expectant mother. Deep tissue techniques are not recommended for prenatal massage. Post-pregnancy massage is a great support for the new mother’s physical and emotional strains.
Deep Tissue
This form of massage focuses not just on the surface muscles, but below the muscles below the surface by using deep strokes on specific target areas. Recommended for individuals with specific discomfort or chronic pain, headaches or migraines due to muscle tension.
Manual Lymph Drainage
A type of gentle massage intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph through the body. Manual lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.
Cranial Sacral Therapy
A form of bodywork or alternative therapy focused primarily on the concept of regulating the flow of cerebrospinal fluid by using therapeutic touch to manipulate the synarthrodial joints of the cranium. This technique is beneficial in treating stress, anxiety, headaches, chronic pain, and fatigue and attention disorders.
