Massage Therapy
At Wellness by the Sea, Sean offers two types of massage treatment. The first kind is a fundamental relaxation massage which includes a health history and the use of gentle Swedish techniques. This treatment type is beneficial for stress management, sleep disturbances and other conditions.
For other conditions, such as muscle sprains, joint pain, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, arthritis, whiplash, headaches, and more, Sean offers a specific medical treatment. If this treatment type is required, there is an important progression to be followed.
A session always begins with a conversation about a client’s health history. It is important to find out relevant background information to identify the challenges the body has endured. These and other factors may be contributing to their current condition.
Sean then gathers key information by conducting some postural and simple positioning tests to identify the specific stressors. This is important because it is necessary to locate the root of the problem and avoid simply treating the symptoms.
After having the client lie down and relax on the massage bed, Sean can employ several methods of treatment. The three primary methods he uses are myofascial techniques, joint play and craniosacral. Sean is skilled in a host of other modalities, which he can employ for a client’s specific needs.
The last stage of a session is a relevant homecare suggestion. Sean teaches simple, easy to remember stretches and exercises to do at home. By employing these methods a client gets the tools needed to provide relief between treatments. This is a reflection of Sean’s desire to have his clients involved in their own journey towards health.
