Therapeutic Massage

To the root of your pain

Om shanti may suggest multiple modalities to facilitate your healing and recovery, such as cupping or energy work. These can all be blended in any given session. We use a combination of therapeutic massage and soft tissue techniques with an understanding of how your body moves, to help relieve tension and myofascial adhesions that come from muscle imbalances, inadequate body mechanics, overuse injuries, posture issues, body compensations, and stress. We intend to help relieve acute and chronic pain and get you back doing what you love to do. Using all our skills in your plan, allows for the best outcome.

Therapeutic massage will be part of your healthcare through multiple techniques:

Deep Tissue
Trigger Point Release
Sports Massage
Medical Massage
Myofascial Release
Deep Relaxation and Body Connection
Cupping

Focus Work Massage

Focus work is our specialty. Deep tissue trigger point work is centered on a specific problem, such as chronic muscle pain or limited range of motion. This opens the body to release deeply rooted pain that can be linked to past trauma, repetitive movement, competition, accident etc.

We can help with more than:

Lower Back Pain
Limited Mobility
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Postural Alignment
Muscle Tension and Pain
Decreases Range of motion (catching. pinching etc)
Sciatica
Pelvic Congestion
Tennis elbow
and more

Studies have shown that many people rank deep tissue massage to be more effective in relieving issues such as Piriformis pain than exercise, physical therapy, prescription medications, acupuncture, chiropractic, diet, and over-the-counter drugs. Focus work can often help clients notice an improvement in range of motion shortly after a massage session. There can be profound change in one session which invokes a sense of hope as well as physical relief.

When you unravel the "why" and work on the "how" with a specialized expert, you become empowered. You will get out of pain and you will have renewed energy and joy.

Massage Modalities

Swedish
Gentle touch with light pressure to relax and reset.

Deep Tissue
Deeper pressure than Swedish. This may include using forearms, elbows, knuckles and fists to increase pressure.

Sports
Athletes often injury themselves in training or competition. Sports massage includes a variety of deep tissue, neuromuscular, ice, muscle stripping and cross fiber friction. Usually focused on a specific area to increase range of motion, decrease pain and improve performance.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)
A manual manipulation of stuck tissue by applying deep pressure to trigger points. This process may be active on your part with slow movements to release painful tight muscle.

Myofascial Release (MFR)
This is an effective technique involving gentle sustained pressure into connective tissue to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Cross Fiber Friction (CFF)
Using deeper pressure going transverse to muscle fiber orientation to bring relief and increase mobility. This technique is used for scar tissue as well as recovery from a sports injury or any trigger point of intense pain.

Trigger Point
This is a small area of hypertension and pain. Often pain refers elsewhere when pressure is applied. In most cases deep consistent pressure is applied with tiny movements and the knot just melts away.

Tappotment
Various forms of rhythmic tapping, chopping, rocking, cupping and vibration. This is used when muscle can't relax with other techniques. Also, at the end of your session to either invigorated or deeply relax depending on which one is used.

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
Series of stretching exercises to improve passive range of motion.

Proprioceptive Resistance Exercise (PRE)
Series of resistance exercises to improve muscle tonicity. This may include props such as stretch bands, stairs or wall to increase productivity.

Cupping
Suction to reduce compression of clenched tissue. This improves circulation of all fluids to aid in healing as well as reducing pain.

:) Jill is amazing! She has been able to help me pin point and get past years of pain I had been living with. I highly recommend visiting her for deep tissue work and pain relief.

:) If you have not been to Jill, you have not had a massage! As a young professional, I get aches and pains from sitting too much, and had been seeing a club masseuse for as long as I could remember. After one session with Jill I never questioned going back! She helps me identify my aches and pains, and I always leave feeling stronger! Thank you Jill! I do not know what I would do without you!

:) Excellent, professional massage therapy and healing energy sessions. Very intuitive healing sessions. Best therapy in NOCO. I've been receiving different therapies for over 20 years and Jill is one of the best.

:) I have seen Jill many times for the last year. I wanted energy work and massage to help me heal from a divorce. Jill has great energy and takes the time to talk through your intentions and goals for the session. Her massages are wonderful and she is always very in tune with what you need. I’m always so relaxed and grateful when I leave our sessions. I highly recommend Ohm Shanti and Jill!

:) Jill is the most amazing massage therapist I’ve ever been to (I’ve been to a lot)! I’ve had right leg pain for over a year where I tried physical therapy as well as chiropractic but nothing was helping. I was constant pain every day that was messing with every aspect of my life. Well I was lucky enough to be referred to Jill and after a few months of seeing her my pain is almost completely gone!

She know so much about the human body and how all our muscles connect! She really cares about her clients well being and want you to feel better! If you are looking for massage for an injury or just for relaxation you should go see Jill! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

:) I love going to Jill at Om Shanti Healing! She's a great person and so easy to be around. She's also so results oriented with her work.
I came into her with pain after my last marathon and she got right in there, knowing exactly which muscles had to be released in order for the pain to subside... and it did! She would be great for any other athletes who have injuries they're dealing with or any acute pain that they want to treat.
Highly recommend Jill! Book her today. :)
