What Kind of Massage Does Jason Offer? Jason’s massage sessions incorporate a combination of Swedish,  deep tissue, myofascial, shiatsu and sports massage techniques,  depending upon the kind of massage you’ve requested and what is  going on in your body The amount of pressure used depends upon whether you are seeking  a relaxation massage primarily to help alleviate stress, or a more  therapeutic massage meant to to alleviate troublesome knots,  adhesions and trigger points In most cases, Jason will likely alternate between “feel-good” strokes  like effleurage and petrissage and deep-tissue strokes like compression and cross-fiber friction... but you are always encouraged to communicate if the pressure is too deep, or if you’d like it deeper  in certain areas How Long of a Massage Should I Book? 60 minutes: Enough time for a full-body relaxation massage, or a deep-tissue massage that address two or three main areas of concern *75 minutes: Enough time to perform a full-body deep-tissue or  relaxation massage, with a little extra attention to two or three main  areas 90 minutes: Time enough for a spacious, full-body, deep-tissue  massage with extra attention to several areas of your choice *This is the recommended length, and the minimum length if you want  a full body deep-tissue massage What are some of the benefits of massage? As a general wellness modality, research has shown that massage  therapy can reduce stress, eliminate physical tension, improve  circulation, and enhance overall feelings of well-being by releasing the “feel-good” neurotransmitters in the body (endorphins and  enkephalins) The therapeutic benefits of massage therapy are extensive, and  have been well-documented (read some of the documented benefits) If you lead an active lifestyle, spend a lot of time working out, or  participate in athletics of any kind, massage therapy can also help  increase muscle recovery time, increase flexibility, flush out  metabolites and other toxins, and reduce post-workout soreness If you are recovering from an injury, massage therapy has been  shown to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, support the immune  system, align scar tissue as it is being laid down, and help speed  healing time For these reasons and more, many people today incorporate regular  massage into their wellness regimen, coming in for a session once  per week, every other week, or once per month$ shapeimage_1_link_0

TESTIMONIALS

"As a psychotherapist with a busy practice, I store a lot of material in my physical body and find that massage is a wonderful tool for maintaining an important equilibrium in my life. I have very specific places in my physical body where I tend to store stress, and Jason has worked in depth with me on various ways that I can care for my body to attend to those places of stress. The consummate professional, Jason provides a wonderfully warm and relaxing environment that inspires deep relaxation. His knowledge about the human body is vast and thus he works very specifically and holistically in his massage. After a consistent every other week massage appointment for several months, I feel a radical change in my body's ability to weather the storms of every day stress. Jason is a tribute to his profession, and I recommend him every chance I get!" Kristin B .  Psychotherapist "I scheduled a massage with Jason after realizing that my yoga practice alone would not release all the tension in my body. Having only had one previous massage at a spa I was a little unsure as to what to expect, but Jason's grounded energy and warmth made me feel comfortable and in capable hands. My deep tissue massage was so much more than the "feel- good", relaxing experience I had anticipated. Jason's exquisite knowledge of the body and his ability to cater specifically to my body's needs allowed me to walk away feeling a real sense of relief. And I felt better for the next few weeks! I would recommend Jason to anyone seeking a massage, either for relaxation or therapeutic purposes." Paula L.  Yoga Teacher "I have been to a fair number of massage therapists over the past 35 years, and there are only two that I would rank of the highest quality. Jason Brown is one of them. He has a rare gift. Apart from his extensive knowledge of the physical body, Jason has an unusual ability to listen intently both to the words and to unspoken body language of his clients. The result is that there is never anything rote or routine about the session. He is sensitive and attentive, and is always focused on my needs in order to intuit what will be the most beneficial for my specific condition, that day. I recommend him highly."
