Designed to meet the needs of those 65 years young or better. Just as our skin loses collagen and elastin as we age, so does the underlying muscles and connective tissue, also known as fascia. This loss can lead to reduced elasticity in soft tissues, increased stiffness, loss of range of motion, more easily bruising, and slower healing in these tissues making it harder for the body to recover from a deep pressure massage. The Stafford Signature Massage is adapted to these changes to give relief from pain and tightness in muscles using gentle techniques. 

Massage to support clients living with cancer, post-cancer**, or lymphedema.

Please schedule under Equipoise Signature Massage.

Massage to promote faster recovery and minimize scarring using lymphatic massage and scar tissue mobilization techniques. Vodder style manual lymph drainage reduces acute edema that often follows surgical procedures. Scar tissue mobilization is used to treat fibrosis and minimize scarring, both the visible scarring and the deeper scar tissue which can lead to loss of mobility. 

Structural Bodywork combines active and passive myofascial release techniques and PNF (post neuromuscular facilitation) stretching to rebalance muscle tension, joint stability, aid in muscle recovery after an injury, and increase flexibility and range of motion. 

For these sessions please wear or bring comfortable clothing which allows for stretching, such as for yoga. Sessions are usually fully clothed unless instructed otherwise. 

Gentle soothing massage to melt away tension and stress held in the body, and alleviate pain from tight, sore, and achy muscles using light to moderately firm pressure.

Availlable in 30 minute session length. Longer combined sessions of table and seated work may be possible depending on goals and to accomodate disability which impair mobility. Please contact Soo at Soo@equipoisemld.com with any questions.
