Diane Stinnett Massage

Doctors William Fitzgerald and Edwin Bowers brought reflexology to the United States in 1913. Fitzgerald was an ear, nose, and throat specialist who believed applied pressure could trigger anesthetic effects in other parts of the body.

After completing a course of around 10 Rolfing sessions, a client can expect to have a deeper understanding of how their body operates in harmony with gravity on a day to day basis regardless of whether they are sitting at a desk or working out.

Reflexology is based on the belief that there is an energy channel from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet that encompasses and affects 12 vital organs. By applying pressure to specific zones, reflexology unblocks the channel to allow proper organ and energy function.

So how does massage therapy improve your circulation? The pressure from the therapist actually forces blood to move through congested areas, allowing new blood to flow in and resulting in improved function.

Have you heard of fascia? This is the fibrous tissue where knots or adhesions form that may trigger pain and inflammation from muscle damage or injuries. We use deep pressure techniques across the grain of your muscles to break down the adhesion, which may help relieve your pain and increase mobility.

Have you ever heard of a 30-minute back massage? This type of massage is becoming increasingly popular due to its affordability and convenience and uses a combination of different types of techniques that focus exclusively on the back.

Most massage therapy sessions last for an hour. As for the frequency, this depends on the recipients, particularly if they need the massage to address a health condition. Those who incorporate it into their lifestyle usually receive it anywhere from once a week to once a month.

William H. Fitzgerald, MD, who is frequently referred to as the father of reflexology, wrote in 1917 about 10 vertical zones that extended the length of the body. He found that the application of pressure in a zone that corresponded to the location of an injury could serve as pain relief.

When the sciatic nerve is being pinched by the piriformis muscle, Rolfing structural integration lengthens and opens the connective tissue around the nerve, eliminating the pinching and the pain.

To complement your reflexology treatments, it's a good idea to make sure you stay hydrated. Drinking at least eight glasses of water every day is the best way to help your body flush out toxins that are released during your treatments.

For many people, their posture and how they carry themselves is a living diary of the emotional stress they have experienced throughout their lives; Rolfing can wipe the pages clean, restoring emotional and physical well-being.

Have you been looking for a way to chase the blahs away? Because therapeutic massage is known for causing an endorphin release from the brain, many people walk away with an upbeat outlook.
