Tula Table™

Therapeutic Massage

We offer a trauma-informed integrative and holistic approach to traditional table massage therapy. Whether you are preferring a firm Swedish and highly therapeutic style with components of deep relaxation or a medical massage with specialized deep tissue and more focused attention or anything between, we will tailor the work for each individual session to meet your wellness goals. Therapeutic massage may also be incorporated to assist the integration of trauma-informed somatic bodywork.
​
​With 10 years dedicated to treating specific injuries doing medical massage, we specialize in deep tissue and neuromuscular therapies, with the complementary option of cupping therapy. Deep tissue massage therapy targets specific areas for deeper, more technical work and would aid in alleviating chronic pain, regaining mobility and function, and/or rehabilitating from injury or surgery. A comprehensive variety of techniques may be incorporated into any session, including neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, Jin Shin Do® Acupressure, craniosacral therapies, table Thai stretching, and Chinese cupping. 

All therapeutic massage sessions include optional Chinese Cupping at no additional cost. 

Specialized Massage Techniques

Neuromuscular Therapy-​ Manual pressure and friction techniques are used to release tender or trigger points; trigger points are defined as tender, small contraction knots that typically refer pain, called "active" trigger points.
​
​Myofascial Release- Long, firm stretching strokes are employed to release fascial restrictions in the soft tissue caused by trauma and injury, poor posture, or inflammation; fascia is defined as a band or sheet of connective tissue that attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs.
