About Fortitude Massage Therapy

Mission Statement

My goal with Fortitude Massage is to bring an elevated experience of orthopedic and clinical therapy practices to the Miss-Lou.

Our Services

Currently Fortitude Massage provides a range of services including pregnancy massage, reflexology, cupping, hot stones, and hot bamboo which are all complimentary and will be done upon request with no additional charge.

session details

A session will always begin with an initial medical intake to make sure massage is an effective treatment and determine client preferences/needs before getting on the table. It's preferable for a client to arrive 10-15 minutes early for the appointment to prevent the medical intake from taking valuable appointment time.

Modalities and specialties

Relaxation

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage uses flowing massage strokes to increase blood flow and target muscle tension. Swedish Massage is a staple for massage therapy sessions and acts as the foundation of a therapists techniques.

Hot Bamboo Massage

With Hot bamboo sticks as an extension of the hands the therapist can easily apply deeper pressure, reduce tension, and dissolve knots and trigger points. Hot Bamboo provides a unique relaxation experience with therapeutic benefits.

Hot Stone Massage

With hot stones the therapist holds a stone in their hand and with flowing massage strokes uses the heat to warm connective tissue and the muscles. Hot stones are similar to hot bamboo, but provide higher temperatures(Hot stones do not sit on the skin statically, they are constantly moving in the practitioners hands with massage strokes).

Therapeutic

Pregnancy Massage

Massage techniques that respect and support the dynamic physiologic changes the pregnant woman undergoes while recognizing the precautions that these physiological adaptations create.

Cupping

Using suction cups to pull on connective tissue and muscles promotes relaxation, increased mobility, and blood circulation(can leave marks over cupped areas lasting 3-7 days).

Myofascial Release

A therapeutic massage targeting connective tissue called Fascia. Myofascial Massage increases range of motion, frees trapped muscles, and treats Myofascial Trigger Points. Massage sessions are slower than Swedish Massage sessions and use less oil to increase skin friction.

Multiple services (whether therapeutic or relaxation) can be applied during a single session upon request with no additional charge to the session!
