Joyce specializes in Sports Massage techniques by incorporating Therapeutic Deep Tissue with a relaxing Swedish-Esalen massage.

The strokes and manipulations of Swedish massage are for a specific therapeutic benefit. Esalen message is set apart as a unique style because it also reflects an attitude about touching, caring, energy awareness and emotional, spiritual healing beside just physical manipulation.

Swedish Esalen massage is extremely beneficial for releasing tension and stress. Swedish-Esalen is an expanded form of Swedish massage which has a more flowing technique intended to soothe and relax the body and increase circulation and lymphatic flow. Sometimes deeper work is employed if necessary for pain release, but the pressure does not exceed comfort level.

Regular Sports Massage can:

• Reduce the chance of injury by relieving stress points in muscles, before they result in restrictions or spasm.

• Shorten recovery time between workouts
• Maximize the supply of nutrients and oxygen though increased blood flow
• Facilitate the body’s regular process for recovery from exercise
• Decrease performance anxiety and sharpen mental focus
