A unique multidisciplinary approach is utilized to restore structural balance throughout the body, which allows focus on prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal dysfunctions, chronic pain and sports injuries. Sports Massage - is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes recover from workouts and injuries. Swedish Massage - is one of the most widely recognized and practiced modalities in the West. Ivan uses long and flowing relaxation strokes to increase oxygen to the blood stream and flush toxins from the superficial muscle tissue. This eases muscle and joint tension and increases circulation. The benefits of Swedish massage are maximized during a full body session, especially if the client's main goal is to relieve stress and increase relaxation. Deep Tissue Massage - utilizes slower strokes to release chronic tension patterns and adhesions formed in the deeper layers of muscle tissue. A deep tissue session usually addresses a specific area of the body, penetrating deep into the muscle fibers to bring long-lasting pain relief to the area. Ivan may offer a self-care plan for his clients combining massage, personal training and injury prevention techniques. Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) - a specialized form of deep tissue massage that treats areas of irritation within strained bands of muscle tissue. These irritated areas, formally known as trigger points, are present in most cases of chronic muscular pain. During an NMT session, the massage therapist and client work together to reduce or eliminate trigger points through static compression and breathing. This is an extremely effective method in managing pain and stress levels in the body. Seated Massage - Skyline seated massage is non-invasive, performed fully clothed, and supported by a professional massage chair. Each client relaxes while Ivan uses various compression and percussion strokes to relieve muscle fatigue and energize the body. Seated massage is usually performed on-site and can be a great way to increase alertness and productivity in the workplace or enhance a corporate meeting or event.
