Bodywork Descriptions
Thai Yoga Bodywork A powerful experience of applied yoga therapeutics: therapeutic stretching, alignment principles, range-of-motion exercises, joint mobilization, assisted Hatha yoga postures, acupressure and reflex point therapy, rhythmic palming techniques, deep tissue compression, toning of internal organs, pranayama techniques, energy balancing, and meditative practice.
Swedish Massage One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The disrobed client is covered by a sheet, with only the area being worked on exposed. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibration, percussive, and tapping movements, with the application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
Orthopedic Massage Combining some elements of sports and medical massage, orthopedic massage integrates ten modalities to treat soft-tissue pain and injury. Emphasis is placed on understanding both the injury and its rehabilitation criteria. Three basic elements adhered to, despite the technical diversity in treatment, are assessment, matching the treatment to the injury, and adaptability of treatment.
Structural Integration Based on the work of Dr. Ida P. Rolf, structural integration is based on the idea that the entire structural order of the body needs to be realigned and balanced with the gravitational forces around a central vertical line representing gravity’s influence. Therapeutic intervention is directed toward the myofascial system--the ligaments, muscles, tendons, and surrounding connective tissues. A practitioner of structural integration has a ten-session cycle of work, in which different angles and degrees of physical pressure are used to stretch and guide fascia to a place of easier movement. The process is not intended to cure symptoms; its goal is to create a more resilient, higher-energy system, free of inhibitions due to past trauma.

The
healing touch of massage therapy and bodywork is essential to the overall
well-being of the body, mind, and spirit. It can reduce stress, ease muscle
tension, improve blood circulation, and induce a universal sense of
tranquility. Various forms of bodywork have existed for thousands of years,
with the earliest documented mention occurring about three thousand years
ago. Its undeniable effects have allowed it to evolve as a significant and
integral part of wellness. Highland Yoga currently offers Swedish Massage,
Orthopedic Massage, Structural Integration and Thai Yoga Massage. A brief
description of each service is listed below.
Stephen began his bodywork career in 2002
and for the last 7 years has developed a truly wholistic
approach to wellness. He appreciates the unique challenges that
each body brings him and strives for balance in all aspects of
his bodywork. His enduring interest in bodywork has led him to
study with some of the most well regarded bodyworkers in the
field. He continues to advance his education yearly, studying
things as diverse as Orthopedic Massage, Structural Integration,
Visceral Manipulation, Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy
and cadaver dissection. For the last 5 years he has taught at
the Institute for Therapeutic Massage instructing students in
massage therapy and anatomy and physiology. He currently offers Swedish Massage,
Orthopedic Massage, and Structural Integration at Highland.
Christy
began studying yoga with Helena Berg in 1999 while studying
massage therapy in Maui, HI. Amidst the natural beauty of the
island and with the gentle brilliance of her teaching, the
wisdom of yoga began to weave it's way into her being. As she
moved and traveled, her yoga practice became a gauge; a tangible
way to track the effects of her choices on her physical,
emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. This budding awareness as
well as working with regular massage clients who were constantly
having discoveries and epiphanies of their own, gave her a
curiosity as well as a sense of responsibility to learn more.
This led her to study Somatic (mind-body) Psychology and Yoga at
Naropa University in Boulder, CO. Christy currently offers Swedish Massage,
BodyTalk,
and Thai Massage at Highland.
