Light to vigorous strokes combined with prolonged pressure in certain areas to promote relaxation, increase circulation, and remove adhesions throughout the fascia and underlying musculature.

Release techniques that promote healing by suctioning stagnant blood and releasing it back into the bloodstream or by increasing circulation to a congested area.

Prenatal: 1st-3rd trimester.  Gentle strokes designed to ease muscular tension and increase circulation to the mother; thus, increasing oxygen and nutrients to the baby.

Post-Partum: weeks to months after labor.  Strokes designed to ease muscular tension and relax the nervous system.

 Static and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques to cause reflexive changes in the resting length of muscles. 

Very gentle strokes meant to relieve swelling from medical treatments or illnesses by targeting specific areas to help trapped lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels.
