60 Minute Restorative Therapeutic Massage

‍ ‍60‑Minute Therapeutic Massage

A 60‑minute session is ideal for focused therapeutic work on key problem areas while still giving your nervous system time to downshift. Research shows that massage therapy can meaningfully reduce many types of pain and improve function compared to no treatment or sham treatments. Even a single session has been shown to lower state anxiety and support a calmer mood, with series of treatments helping reduce longer‑term anxiety and stress patterns. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4925170/

Within this 60‑minute session, Polly often integrates gentle trigger point work for specific muscle knots and myofascial tension. Manual trigger point therapy has been found to be a safe and effective conservative option for people with myofascial trigger points, performing at least as well as other non‑invasive treatments in several clinical studies. The goal is to ease localized pain, improve mobility, and help you leave feeling more balanced, grounded, and able to move through your day with less discomfort. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36836693/
