Seattle Men's Athletic Massage Therapist
What's unique
about your massage?
·
My massage schooling and practice had been
based on years of treatment work, but treatment massage felt very
clinical to my clients and not complete. It also felt very
counterintuitive to segment and work the troubled area only.
According to my time living, traveling and studying in Asian, India
cultures and herbology, the whole body is affected not just that
one area.
·
Therefore I took all the different modalities
and styles I studied and started incorporating them until I combined
the best of what I learned to deliver a massage that was getting
closer to what my clients needed and I wanted. This was a
nurturing, relaxing, energetic and treatment full body massage all
in one, a massage experience with a masculine ambience to it.
The men’s athletic community is starting to embrace this vision.
The massage is called Dswesa™

MYOSKELETAL
ALIGNMENT |
|
|
|
These
techniques simplify the search for hidden strain patterns
that commonly cause neck and back pain.

HOT STONE |
|
|
|
The heat from the stones relaxes muscles,
increase the blood flow to the area being worked on which
further accelerates the healing process. This increase in
circulation and the relaxation of the muscles also aids in
mental relaxation. Mental relaxation is key when a Therapist
is attempting to work into deeper muscles of the body.

Most
athletes are on the lookout for ways to train more effectively,
improve performance, prevent injury, and recovery quickly. With
heavy training schedules and little time for rest, athletes have
recently been among the biggest users of massage therapy services,
but you don't have to be an athlete to experience muscle
dysfunction, cooks, piano players, computer programmers, repetitive
motions, etc

During
an bench press exercise, Jim over-extended his shoulder. He dropped
the weights to the ground. He could not move his arm. Soreness and
pain and limited range of motion placed his bodybuilding training on
hold.
When he called and explained the injury, I figured
that he probably overextended the connective tissue
of SITS (serratus, infraspinatus, teres,
subscapularis) in his shoulder plus pec major and
minor causing trauma to that area.
During a session of myoskeletal deep tissue massage
I could feel the tightness in the shoulder and joint
capsule which caused pain, but also limited
the joint's normal range of motion. By cross –fiber
frictioning the connective tissue, and performing
the dirty dozen techniques, Jim was back on the
floor after 3 sessions and ready to compete again
