Massage

image361

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body through manual, hands on techniques. During a massage, a massage therapist will apply a fixed or moving pressure to the tissues to ease pain and tension in the muscles and joints of the body. Massage therapy can also improve blood and lymphatic flow throughout the body, enhance tissue healing, and affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation. At Portola Valley Chiropractic we offer 30, 60, and 90 minute massages.

Elana Dussé, CMT

Shantel Thomas, CMT

Elana Dussé, CMT

Elana has nearly 20 years of professional experience in both yoga instruction and massage therapy. With over 600 hours of multi-modality training including Shiatsu, deep tissue, Lomi-Lomi, Cranio-sacral, and Neuro-Muscular Therapy, she has created her own style which could be described as firm, yet fluid; nurturing and intuitive contrasted with deeper, focused work. She integrates passive movement and stretching into the massage which allows for spontaneous release of muscles as well as better access to the muscle tissue. Her many years of experience as a yoga teacher has informed her abilities as a massage therapist in being able to recognize holding patterns in her clients and being able to guide them with appropriate stretches. Her bodywork strikes a necessary balance between structural therapeutics and soothing the nervous system.
