PROFILE


Touch has been shown to be a very basic human need. Skin hunger is as real as stomach hunger, yet it is so restricted by our society and equated with, that Americans have lost the ability to nurture through touch. Tom Blanchard, VA Board Certified Massage Therapist with more than 20 years experience, utilizes various techniques for the relief of Stress, Muscle Pain, and Sports or Over-use injuries.

TECHNIQUES AND MODALITIES


PARAFANGO BODY WRAPS are offered for application in the home. This treatment helps with skin moisturizing, reduction in cellulite and skin tone. It requires approximately one hour for the session. After the blend of herbal mud and parrafin are applied to the body, it is wrapped in plastic and the client is covered to allow the mixture and the warmth do the job. Measurements are taken before and after the session to assess the lost inches at various points on the body.

In many ways a STONE MASSAGE session is similar to any other type of massage. The stones are heated (usually to about 130°F or 34°C) or frozen prior to the client's arrival. Massage oil is spread on the client's back and legs. The stones are then worked over the body. The client turns over and the process is repeated on the arms, hands, and fingers. The final parts to be massaged are the neck, head, and face.

ADOLESCENT SPORTS, DANCE and GYMNASTICS MASSAGE is targeted to the needs of youth athletes and the changes that are going on in their bodies, and how their activities affect their growth, development and skeletal alignment. Pre and Post performance techniques can help with maintaining the highest level of performance and recovery.

PREGNANCY MASSAGE is the prenatal use of massage therapy to support the physiologic, structural, and emotional well-being of both mother and fetus. Various forms of massage therapy, including Swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular, movement, and Oriental-based therapies, may be applied throughout pregnancy as well as during labor and the postpartum period.

Used as a pain management tool in the hospital or at home, the BODY CUSHION affords the client pain free, restful positioning that favors the injury or surgery. Back pain is alleviated simply by lying face-down on the Body Cushion. treatment effectiveness is enhanced by the ability of the patient to achieve theta, the brainwave state. Research has indicated that healing is rapidly accelerated in theta.

CHAIR or SEATED massage therapy is as comfortable and beneficial as other forms of massage. The chairs are adjusted to create a relaxing and natural position for each client. The massage is given by a professional massage therapist, lasts from 5 to 15 minutes, uses no oil, and takes place with the client fully clothed. It usually covers the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands and can be adapted to special needs.

Eclectic Massage vs. Swedish Massage
While the strokes are similar, the philosophy and intent are quite different. Swedish massage was developed as part of gymnastics, Eclectic as part of Gestalt psychotherapy. Swedish seeks to affect specific muscles, joints and organ and relieve pain and increase mobility. Eclectic does this but also seeks to help the person live more comfortably in his or her own body and integrate body, mind and spirit into a more harmonious whole person. The strokes and manipulations of Swedish massage are for a specific therapeutic benefit. Eclectic massage is set apart as a unique style because it also reflects an attitude about touching, caring, energy awareness and emotional, spiritual healing besides just physical manipulation.

Part of the attitude of Eclectic is that touching is a basic need, as essential as air, food or water: that caring about others is natural; that getting in touch with one's own body leads to a more effective way of loving and relating to others, and that healing comes from within as well as from the outside.

Emotional Relating
-An act of physical caring expressing trust, empathy and respect.
-Unique way of communicating inner love and God's Spirit even to a stranger, without words, beyond touching and hugging.
-Nurturing touch makes people more whole, more fully ourselves and each person's hands have the power to give this joy to another.

It is important to know that your massage therapist is a trained professional who, like their peers in other health professions, must adhere to a code of ethics. In fact, your first appointment is likely to begin with a conversation to determine why you want a massage and how you see the treatment helping, and to determine your general health and stress levels. You can learn more about what to expect from a massage and find a trained massage therapist in your area by visiting www.abmp.com, the web site for the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).
