What is Deep Tissue Sculpting (DTS)? It is a unique and advanced form of Massage Therapy that uses specific techniques to open and shape (sculpt) the "fascia*" back to its proper and healthy form. Through the use of deep (yet gentle) pressure, slow movement and energy (Reiki), the soft tissue is coaxed back into shape. Penetrating, yet non-intrusive, DTS has proven to be reliable in easing soft tissue tension and pain associated with stress, overexertion, trauma from injuries, illness and emotions. This type of "Somatic" (body/mind) therapy helps the body release traumatic injury and emotional "memory" which keeps the tissue imprisoned in a state of chronic pain.
Unlike standard massage, DTS does not employ greasy massage oils, but instead uses a mild lubricant in the form of moisturizing cream along with the clients own natural body oils (which surfaces as the tissue begins to release and open up). The theory is simple, when the tissue is ready to release, it literally "allows" the practitioner to move the tissue and fascia into shape with a smooth gentle gliding action. If the tissue is not ready, the tissue will not move and will not be forced. Thus it is very important that the practitioner have an intuitive and energetic connection with the body to help facilitate a proper release of the tissue.
In addition, when needed the practitioner utilizes various other techniques massage such as Swedish Circulatory Massage, Passive Joint Movement, Oriental modalities such as Acupressure, Trigger Point Release, Qi Gong, Rain Drop Therapy (essential oil application) and Shiatsu. Thus he can systematically manipulate the soft tissue to increase circulation, ease sore, aching muscles, relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation.
In a standard session, a brief consultation before the massage is taken to determine the clients concerns and symptoms. Based on the evaluation, the massage will focus on the areas of concern. Proper draping is used and clients privacy is always honored.

*"Fascia" is a tough connective tissue spreading through-out the body in a three dimensional web. It is what connects muscles to bones, separates different muscle groups, surrounds and separates organs and bones.
