Sessions with Cassie

During our sessions several techniques will be utilized. In my experience it's all about finding what works for your pain and your body. Below are some descriptions of the type of work I incorporate during our time together. That said, if there is a specific style session you are looking for, we can make that happen.

Connective Tissue Release
The Rossiter System® is a two-person connective tissue release modality. The powerful addition of active client participation coupled with the proprietary body-wide “Locking” of tissue provides astounding, instantaneous results for mobility restoration and pain relief. It goes directly to the source of the problem (tight connective tissue) and unwinds the restrictions causing your problems. Tightness eases, blood flows, nerves communicate. Your muscles and joints regain free movement.
Floor work, as I like to call it, is a systematic approach to deep myofascial stretching. This modality can improve range of motion while relieving the source of pain (often times in one appointment). This technique is a great addition to any bodywork program or session and is a great approach to treating clients within a recovery/athletic setting. By using the foot to strategically anchor adhesions the practitioner can use their weight to facilitate tissue release. This technique can be done anywhere with the client fully clothed and doesn't require a massage table.

Connective tissue work is a natural solution to regain mobility, remove pain and return to the life you love - pain free.
Most clients see results in three sessions or less. That being said the longer an issue has been present, the longer it may take to heal.

Active Isolated Stretching
The Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) method of muscle lengthening and fascial release is a stretching technique that provides effective, dynamic, facilitated stretching of major muscle groups. More importantly, AIS provides functional and physiological restoration of superficial and deep fascial planes. What does this mean you ask? AIS helps achieve optimal flexibility and restore full range of motion. This technique can be combined with your maintenance routine and used for injury recovery and prevention. It's great to way to incorporate assisted stretching into your treatment plan and take the technique home with you to gain full flexibility, stability and function in your body. Read more about AIS here.
Therapeutic Massage
A combination of techniques, including deep tissue manipulation, trigger point therapy, stretching and fluid relaxation massage are integrated to create a treatment tailored specifically for you. Massage can effectively relieve chronic pain and tension while being thoroughly relaxing.
Cupping Therapy
|
Cupping moves out old blood and brings in new blood. Color comes to the skin surface with stationary and glide cupping. The deeper the color the more stagnation is present in that area. Cupping pulls the fascia and helps with remodeling in the case of injuries and scarring. Cupping can help immensely with lymph flow as well.

Gua Sha
|
Sha means "sand" - the coloring or petechiae (pronounced "peteckie-A") that comes to the surface when the tissue is scraped in therapeutic movements. Gua Sha dredges the meridian channels. The practice moves fluids, regulated deep tissue temperature discrepancies, resolves blood stagnation and encourages anti-inflammatory paths.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) is a very gentle, rhythmic massage that aims to affect your lymphatic system, which lives just under the skin. MLD can be a powerful tool for people whose lymphatic system is compromised from surgery, illness or injury.
Vodder Technique Manual Lymph Drainage is designed to increase the movement of lymph and interstitial fluid back to the cardiovascular system. I received a specific certification (CMLDT) to assist and support the lymph systems.
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and organs that lie beneath the skin, and it’s a critical component of a healthy immune system. In fact, your lymphatic system acts almost like a garbage disposal, helping your body filter out waste and bacteria.
MLD BENEFITS
MLD can improve and assist the movement of lymphatic fluid from the body’s tissues into the lymphatic vessels, back to the cardiovascular system, soothe and calm the nervous system, as well as provide pain relief. MLD can be beneficial for the follow conditions: Fluid Retention, Bloating, Edema resulting from injury, surgery, Pre-surgery prep, Chronic Tension and Stress, Digestive Issues, Headaches, Arthritis, MS, Sinusitis, Fatigue, Cellulite, Assistance with weight loss.

Tipping
Pricing is all inclusive. Gratuities NOT accepted. I like to think that we agree on a fee for services and that's that. I consider bodywork an integral part of our self-care routines - I know it's a huge part of mine. I want you to be able to budget your time and money without additional fees. I always appreciate your gratitude and the best way of showing that for my practice is coming back for a session or referring a friend.
