Welcome to CoMo Massage!
Combined Modalities/Columbia, MO
My goal is to help you feel your
best both in body and mind with the use of massage therapy. Therapeutic
Massage is the practice of applying pressure or vibration to
the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons,
ligaments, and joints. A form of therapy, massage can be applied to specific parts
of the body or successively to the whole body, to heal injury, relieve
psychological stress, manage pain, improve circulation and relieve tension. I incorporate many modalities in each massage, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Reflexology and Trigger Point Therapy let me
explain each to you. Swedish massage
is the most popular type of massage in the United States and is often referred to as the
relaxation massage. It uses a system of long gliding strokes, and other
techniques on the outer layers of muscles to improve circulation, ease
pain and tension, improve flexibility and create relaxation. Deep tissue
massage releases chronic patterns* of muscular tension and is usually on a
specific problem area. This massage is done with greater pressure and effects
deeper layers of the muscle than a Swedish/relaxation massage. Reflexology is
the practice of manipulating reflex areas in the feet and hands, these reflex
areas correspond to specific body parts and organs. Trigger point therapy
uses specific points of pressure then stretching to relieve the irritated,
painful “knots” in a muscle. Pressure is produced using fingertips, knuckles or
elbow directly on the trigger point, followed by stretching the area. This is
the “style” in which I perform most massages, but will always adjust to your
needs or wants. I have been trained in other modalities such as cranial/sacral,
acupressure, and shiatsu. If you are interested in any of these
types of massage I can perform full sessions or incorporate into your regular
massage. For this reason my fees are simple, I charge for my time not by type
of massage. I believe you can get a great massage at a great price so I also try to keep my prices low. I look forward to working on you and helping you to your best
health.
I have a passion for massage and
am constantly learning. I have met many amazing Massage Therapist here in Columbia.
If you ever have an issue that I feel is out of my scope of knowledge, I will
be happy to recommend a Therapist who may better serve you.
*Chronic patterns can be caused by long periods of sitting at a computer, constant lifting, carrying large bags or any other repetitive action we do.
