At Awaken Wellness, we prioritize clear communication between clients and therapists to ensure each session meets individual needs. We include buffer time in every appointment, so clients never feel rushed and receive their full scheduled massage time. Our therapists are trained in a range of modalities and provide a detailed intake before the massage, along with personalized suggestions afterward. People are discovering massage as an essential part of wellness, aiding injury recovery and promoting routine care.
The benefits of massage range from improvement of specific physiological functions to mental relaxation and emotional and stress relief. Some of the most commonly reported effects of massage include: decreases stress and anxiety; deep relaxation; less muscle spasms and cramping; improved circulation and lymph drainage, inhanced immune system, improved flexibility, and reduced scar tissue.
In order to tackle an issue fully, some clients will choose to have an acupuncture session preceding or after a massage, allowing both treatments to be even more thorough and effective. Additionally, Nutritional Counseling, Physical Therapy and Chinese herbs guide decisions relating to health and wellbeing, assisting people in becoming the healthiest individuals they can be, inside and out!
The benefits of sports massage have been proven to optimize performance, create faster recovery, increase function during training, and prevent injury. Sports massage techniques can be implemented into any massage and anyone can benefit from this type of therapeutic bodywork. Results are achieved by improving blood and lymph circulation, breaking down adhesions or knots, increasing range of motion, and lengthening muscles and tendons.
There are 4 types of sports massage. Pre-event is utilized prior to an event within 2 hours to help stimulate and prepare muscles that are specific to the sport or activity. Post-event is utilized shortly after an event to help normalize the body. Maintenance massage improves function during training periods. Rehabilitative therapy is recommended to alleviate pain as well as speed recovery from injury. Relaxation, relief from muscle soreness and pain, stress release, and injury rehabilitation can all be accomplished regardless of your activity level.
