Trésa's Modalities

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE

Picture
A therapeutic massage session is generally looking to relieve pain and restrictions. Trésa draws on her  experience and training to best integrate the techniques, such as deep tissue, Swedish, myofascial  to address the client's goals for the day.

This multidisciplinary approach to massage has been a great success for many clients. It has been especially helpful in:

  • Restoring Frozen Shoulders to pain-free movement
  • Relaxing neck and upper back tension to relieve pain and headaches
  • Relieving arm and hand pain associated with brachial plexus and frozen shoulder issues, as well as carpal tunnel syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome
  • Keeping Joint Replacement clients out of pain and moving freely
  • Releasing lower back pain
  • Addressing leg, knee and foot issues

LYMPH DRAINAGE THERAPY

Picture
Lymph Drainage Therapy, (LDT) a gentle technique that supports one of the body's most important systems, the lymphatic system. Our lymphatic system helps clean and regenerate our body's tissue, filters out metabolic waste and foreign substances and maintains a healthy immune system.

Alchemy specializes in LDT for a variety of concerns.  Trésa has completed training that allows her to work with healthy adults for overall health, mild edemas, and immune system support.

Lymph Drainage Therapy sessions are generally scheduled for one hour. Most clients receive LDT just like a massage, fully draped while relaxing on the massage table. LDT can also be received fully clothed. A very gentle touch is used, which stimulates the flow of lymph, opens pathways and optimizes cellular regeneration.

RESTORATIVE MASSAGE

Creating a session that is tailored to your needs while nurturing the body and the spirit, Restorative Massage looks beyond simply fixing and seeks to ease pain, bring the myriad benefits of deep relaxation, as well as sooth the spirit.

Restorative massage is not a single technique, it is more the quality of presence, awareness, and intuition that the therapist brings to the session.
