Massage FAQs

Unlike massage, Structural Integration focuses not on the muscles but on their protective layer, called fascia. Muscles are contracting tissues that give the body and organs physical movement. The fascia surrounds the muscles, bones and organs in the body. The fascia gives muscles their shape and the body its structure. Structural Integration aligns and balances the body by lengthening and repositioning the fascia.

The answer to this depends on the reasons for receiving the massage. If the client is coming in for pain relief due to an injury or structural issue, weekly massage may be appropriate. We often see clients monthly for maintenance and stress reduction.

Legal recognition of massage therapy and clearly stated requirements are critical to advancing the profession and to protecting the health and safety of massage consumers. To learn more about industry regulations visit The American Massage Therapy Association.

This question is commonly asked and the answer is based on the individual. Unhealthy colons have not appeared over night, and it is crazy to think that rejuvenation can be achieved in one or two sessions. Often, a series of colonics is helpful. Diet, exercise, sleep and stress may influence the number of colonics required to get your body get back on track.

Her methods are easy to implement in even a small apartment… composting, growing greens and grasses, creating cultured drinks such as rejulac, dehydrating and blending energy soup. These methods are extremely affordable when undertaken at home.
