Tension Therapy Services & RaTes
With Tension Therapy, each therapy session is different. Just as the stress in your body can differ where it manifests, so too should your therapy adjust its approach to that pain. My motto is: Find the pain and look elsewhere for its cause. As you become familiar to the releases going on with your body, you can participate in releasing the tension in those muscles. The affects of Tension Therapy are more noticeable and make for a swifter moving session that allows us to cover more body-ground in less time.

 

~Tension Therapy alla Ephraim*
My bodywork integrates the techniques of manual therapies such as Acupressure, Shiatsu and Myofascial Release, with the method I've developed for soft connective tissue stretching of the Myofascial System known as the Ephraim Method.


This approach is more of a physical therapy experience so I don’t use any lubrication because most of the therapy is based on achieving traction with the skin. Clients can remain semi-dressed since there is no issue with oils.

In Sessions:

60-minute session, $ 100
90-minute session, $ 150


Out sessions:
90 minutes session only, $175 (includes travel charge)

~Tension Therapy alla Ephraim with Gel:

For you old school folk who seek a more traditional experience, I’ve developed a way to include the Ephraim Method into the relaxing familiarity of a traditional Swedish/ Deep Tissue massage. During my sessions, your muscles will stretch and your joints will loosen. All while you relax to the time-honored deep rubbing of your muscles with the hypoallergenic massage oil and lotion mix of Biotone Gel.

~Ephraim Executive Chair Massage~
My chair massage service is a great way to introduce your office staff to a professional massage experience in the comfort of their own work place. The Ephraim Chair Massage therapy is known to improve productivity and increase service. The customer service and billing staff of Outlook Amusements, INC. the parent company of the nationally known company California Psychics, have brought me back several times as their exclusive in-house chair massage therapist.


So if you’re looking for a refined way to celebrate your employees, there’s no better way than with a professional chair massage.


Here’s how it works.


~You call or email your interest in the Executive Chair Massage for your staff and we work out the details. An appropriate environment for the sessions like a quiet office space to set up the chair is vital to the success of the therapy experience and a computer to access online music.


~I’ll ask you to generate a staff sign up list for those of your staff interested in receiving the special 10/15-minute session.


~I come to your place of business, set up my massage chair and begin the sessions. (I’ve learned that it helps to send out emails to remind your staff of their free massage they’ve signed up for.)


$80 per hour with a minimum of 2 hours.


Parking accommodation is required and Gratuities are appreciated.

Tension Therapy Chair Massage:

The Ephraim Chair Massage is my most effective approach to ridding the upper body of chronic conditions like poor range of motion in the shoulders or neck. If you suffer from upper body tightness or limited mobility this form of therapy will help. Because the massage chair maintains the body vertically, the muscles are allowed to relax into a more neutral upright posture.


During this therapy we can best address deep shoulder girdle blockages. My stretch therapy massage is more effective around the shoulders, under the arms and around the neck and jaw. During this upright posture, we can also concentrate on TMJ issues or jaw clenching that results from tightness of the Masseter muscle.


This therapy is available as an independent hire for offices or as an additional service for Tension Therapy sessions listed above. If included with a therapy session, this part of the session would require an additional 30minutes at $50 and prior notification for me to prepare my chair for the session. I highly recommend this service.

 

Emergency Late Night Appointments:
Same day appointments may be available so please feel free to email me early in the day here in Los Angeles to reserve your time. Emergency calls are available for late evening therapy sessions that begin after 9pm. They will be billed at time and a half. So be sure it’s urgent.
