Massage Styles and Descriptions
Please note that the following are basic descriptions for each style of massage. Each individual therapist may have slight differences in their techniques used. Always discuss massage styles and preferences with your therapist before each massage.
Swedish
This is the perfect massage for individuals that rarely receive a massage or have never before received a massage from a licensed therapist. A Swedish massage involves light to moderate pressure and stroking to warm muscle tissue and increase circulation.
Deep Tissue
Typically used for relaxation and injury rehabilitation, a deep tissue massage uses more pressure than a Swedish massage and manipulates deeper layers of muscle and tissue. With slower strokes, the massage therapist will focus on concentrated areas of tension and pain.
Neuromuscular/Trigger Point Therapy
The goal of this type of massage is to provide varying levels of concentrated pressure to specific areas or “knots” to balance the central nervous system. This massage may be appropriate to relieve chronic pain, treat injuries, relieve migraines, or for rehabilitation purposes.
Reflexology
Reflexology focuses on pressure points of feet, hands and ears. This type of massage is believed to be beneficial for overall health and generally serves to relax and balance.
Shiatsu and Acupressure
Shiatsu, meaning “finger pressure”, is used to aid relaxation and wellness. The massage therapist applies pressure to the body’s 14 “meridians” to improve energy flow.
Neo-Reichian
Gentle movements and pressures are applied to specific areas of the body to relieve chronic muscle tension.
Sports Massage
Used to stimulate and stretch muscles, Sports massage is designed to help athletes prepare the bodies for performance and to aid recovery and training by stimulating the circulation of blood and lymph fluids.
Russian Sports Massage
Similar to a traditional Swedish massage or Sports massage but with greater focus on rehabilitation and injury recovery, the Russian Sports massage aims to decrease muscle fatigue, tension, and chronic pain.
Structural Bodywork and Myokinetics
This, sometimes painful, style of massage uses very deep pressure and is used to help recover from injury or relieve pain caused by intense stress. Results should be immediately recognized.
Injury Massage
With an injury massage, deep pressure is applied to the specific area of a past injury in an attempt to relieve pain and remedy damage done by the injury.
Cranial-Sacral Therapy
Cranial-Sacral Therapy is meant to promote a deep level of relaxation with light pressure applied to the head and skull. Often used to relieve headaches and neck pain, this style of massage promotes full-body health.

Education
Academy of Natural Therapy – Greeley, CO
Why Massage?
In our fast-paced world, massage can offer engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest” as opposed to “fight or flight”) to decrease the effects of chronic stress. Massage can also be an excellent adjunct therapy when recovering from injury while also serving as injury prevention, especially when repetitive motions are involved.
What Should Clients Expect When They Come to See You?
Clients should expect a safe environment where consent is valued. Clients should also expect to be invested in their own healing, which can include everything from directing awareness to their breath to completing at-home stretches or exercises.

Healing Beyond Borders
Why Massage?
recipient of massage, I had felt its widely known benefits: decreased muscle soreness/tension,
improved sleep, improved mood, improved digestion, lowered blood pressure, decreased
healing time, and increased range of motion. However, as I began to study, learn, and finally
teach the various systems and bodywork approaches tp the body, I increasingly recognized and
respected the innate healing mechanisms within. My focus became (and still is) exploring the
most efficient and least intrusive way to treat pathologies of every system. By receiving
bodywork from a therapist who employs a whole–person approach—one that is educated,
the body, mind, and spirit are given an opportunity to restore balance and well–being.
What Should Clients Expect When They Come to See You?
Our session will begin with a thorough health intake and interview, so I may understand your
chief complaint and administer any pertinent tests. Subsequently, we will discuss a treatment
plan and goals. During treatment, my style is patient and skilled, as I utilize various modalities
for results–based therapy. Following our session, our exit interview will include an assessment,
detailed plan, and applicable homework

Do I get a receipt after booking a massage online?
Yes! Your confirmation email serves as your receipt, and it will specify how much you have been charged.
Where do I park?
Visiting campus and need to park? Visit the parking and transportation website for more information . Once parked, map a walk to Campus Recreation: 951 Meridian Avenue.
Where do I meet my massage therapist at the time of my appointment?
You will meet your massage therapist outside the massage therapy room in the Campus Recreation lobby by the couches. They will come out to you once they have setup your room. Please do not ask the Sport Club window about your massage appointment, they will be unable to answer your questions.
Why is there a screening form when I schedule?
This screening form helps the Massage Therapists understand you as a client and better improve your massage and make any special accommodations that you may or may not need.
Will my card information be saved?
We do not save card information. You will need to re-enter it every time you book an appointment.
Can I book multiple massages at the same time?
Unfortunately, not. You will only be able to schedule one massage at a time; however, you will be able to purchase multiple gift certificates at the same time.
Why can I not reschedule my appointment?
Most likely, you are trying to reschedule within the 24-hour window that is required to reschedule.
Why can I not schedule a session over the phone or in-person?
Online scheduling puts you in control of when you want to schedule without relying on calling in! This new scheduling process not only helps limit error with scheduling, but it also helps our staff improve their efficiency while working at the front desk helping others. With 3 therapists on staff, it helps to keep them up to date about their clients immediately after changes occur so they can provide the best service to you!
Do I have to register for an account?
No, but it is highly recommended. Having an account allows you to be able to edit your intake forms whenever there is something you want to report as well as remembering your contact information so it limits steps when purchasing.
Can I leave a tip online when I pay with a card?
You may tip on your card before or after your massage when you pay at Service Center. Please let the Service Center Assistant know how much you would like to tip and they will be able to apply that tip to your therapist.
