Jeimy has been working as a licensed massage therapist since 2018, specializing in many different massage techniques. These techniques will be listed below in more details. She is originally from Honduras and she has studied Massage Therapy at the Praxis Institute in Miami.
Deep Tissue Therapy:
Deep tissue technique is a type of massage therapy focused on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is particularly beneficial for chronic aches and pains, especially in the back, neck, and shoulders. The technique involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target specific areas of tension. It can help break down adhesions (knots) in muscles and improve overall mobility.
Deep tissue massage may cause some discomfort during the session but should not be painful. It is often recommended for athletes or individuals with physically demanding jobs. Always communicate with your therapist about your comfort level during the massage. Post-massage soreness is common, so hydration and gentle stretching are advised afterward. Consult with a healthcare provider before starting deep tissue massage if you have any medical conditions. Regular sessions can enhance recovery and promote relaxation.
Geriatric Massage:
Geriatric Massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to meet the unique physical and emotional needs of the elderly population. This gentle approach focuses on relieving pain, enhancing blood circulation, improving mobility, and fostering overall well-being in older adults. Therapists trained in geriatric massage understand the complexities of aging and are skilled in modifying their techniques to accommodate for conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and other age-related concerns.
The benefits of geriatric massage extend beyond simple relaxation. Regular sessions can lead to improved flexibility, reduced muscle stiffness, and enhanced tissue elasticity, which are crucial for maintaining independence and daily function. Moreover, the therapeutic touch of geriatric massage provides emotional support, helping to combat feelings of loneliness and depression that some elderly individuals may experience.
Sessions are typically shorter and involve light stroking, kneading, and the application of soft pressure to alleviate discomfort without straining fragile skin or delicate joints. Geriatric massage promotes a sense of wellness and comfort, making it an invaluable addition to comprehensive elderly care programs. It emphasizes the importance of nurturing touch in supporting the health and quality of life for the aging population.
