This technique is delivered with the therapist’s bare feet, while using overhead bars for balance and support. The foot is broad and allows a smoother deeper massage than can be done with the thumbs, hands, or elbows. Trigger points, scar tissue, and chronic soft tissue damage can be located and efficiently treated with little pain and deep relaxation. Not appropriate

Pre & Post Natal Massage: Expectant moms experience unique physical and emotional changes that occur as a result of increased weight, shifting posture, and adjusting hormone levels. While this is a beautiful period of heightened expectation and joy, mothers-to-be also endure heightened
physical discomfort that ranges from muscular tension and headaches, to pressure on the hips and knees. Prenatal massage is a natural, touch therapy treatment aimed at alleviating these and other pregnancy related symptoms.
Postnatal massage is an important part of good health for you and your new infant. By increasing circulation, massage enhances the postpartum healing process and aids the body in realignment.
