For Denver’s best Massage for Depression, go to Peace of Mind Therapeutic Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Depression and anxiety riddle the lives of many people for various reasons. It can be work related, relationship issues, or a chemical imbalance. Colorado has been named one of the healthiest states in the nation. Denver’s residents tend to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Taking an interest in your health and wellness can decrease depression and boost energy.

Massage Therapy is excellent for helping depression because it is positive touch from another human being. The power of touch can greatly benefit those suffering from lack of touch in their lives such as the elderly.

Depression is a common side effect of aging. No one likes the aches and pains associated with getting older. Massage Therapy is a holistic way to not only treat the aches and pains of aging, but also a healthy way to help hinder feelings of depression.

How does Massage Therapy help depression? Massage Therapy releases endorphins into the blood stream. Endorphins are neurotransmitters produced in the brain that reduce pain. Pain and depression go hand in hand. You can get relief from both with Massage Therapy.

At the Peace of Mind Massage clinic in Denver the atmosphere itself is designed to uplift the spirit while relaxing the mind. Let go of thoughts of depression and anxiety with a Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, or a Hot Stone Therapy Massage. The cost is the same no matter the modality we choose to use. We integrate our skills to deliver the best results at the low cost of $1 per minute.

Our Massage Therapists are compassionate and work hard to cater to our client’s needs.

For a great Prenatal Massage in Denver, go to Peace of Mind Therapeutic Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

During pregnancy a woman may experience back pain, muscle aches, stress, anxiety, and tension. None of these symptoms are good for the mother or the baby! Massage Therapy can be a great way for expecting women to unwind from the stress and tension her body is going through. Relaxation for the mother and the baby is a huge benefit of receiving massage therapy throughout the pregnancy.

At the Peace of Mind Massage clinic in Denver we offer Prenatal Massage using a side lying bolster system that ensures optimum comfort during prenatal massage. It is often hard to get comfortable in any position while pregnant. During a prenatal massage usually pillows are used to support the mother while lying on her side and on her back. After the first trimester, there is no more lying face down.

Miscarriage is most common during the first trimester of pregnancy. During the first trimester massage therapy can be applied safely. It is up to the mother whether she wants to avoid massage therapy during the first trimester. It is a good idea to consult with your Doctor if you have concerns.

At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we now offer a solution to client discomfort during pregnancy. With the Oakworks Sidelying Bolster System we are able to have our clients lay on their sides without putting pressure on their shoulder. A common pain during pregnancy is soreness in the arm and shoulder because of sleeping on the side all the time.

Escape from the stress pregnancy can cause with a therapeutic prenatal massage. At Peace of Mind, we will help alleviate your aches and pain, not just give you a rub down. Using client communication we will give the proper and desired pressure, avoiding contraindicated areas for pregnancy, but still addressing areas of pain and soreness. Many women complain of hip pain as the body is changing in preparation for giving birth. Massage Therapy can help alleviate pressure around the low back and hips greatly.

The benefits of massage therapy during pregnancy include decreased swelling, reduced stress, decreased aches and pains, lowered anxiety and lessened depression. Prenatal Massage provides support emotionally and physically without the use of medications, which is limited during pregnancy.

Schedule a Prenatal Massage with Peace of Mind Massage in Denver today. Please inform us you are expecting and tell us how many weeks you are. If you are 18 weeks and over we can set up the sidelying bolster system for you to enjoy your prenatal massage with the best comfort possible.

You may have heard of other systems that allow you to lay face down with your belly in a hole. After speaking with various women including my own sister who just gave birth to her first baby girl, I gathered women feel safer and more comfortable on their sides. My sister tried both bolstering systems and said she much preferred the side lying system because it is the same position she sleeps in at night but much more comfortable. She said lying on her side without crushing her shoulder felt amazing and so relaxing. Come experience it for yourself at Peace of Mind Massage on Old South Pearl Street in Denver, Colorado.

Myofascial Release in Denver

Posted on by

Denver’s Best Myofascial Release Massage can be found at Peace of Mind Therapeutic Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Myofascial Release is based on understanding the role of fascia. Fascia is defined as a web of interconnected tissue that travels the body without interruption. It surrounds individual cells, organs, systems, and then wraps it all up in one huge package, head to toe. This network also serves as the communication medium from cell to cell and organ to organ. Trauma, posture, or inflammation can change the consistency of the web, solidifying and shortening fibers. When the web is pulled too tightly in one place it can leave other areas restricted. This creates pressure on the nerves, muscles, organs, and bones.

The big idea here is, it is all connected. If you have knee pain, focusing on working on the knee alone is not going to alleviate the pain. With Myofascial Release techniques, the Therapist will assess the muscles that attach to the problem area, and muscles that may not attach, but relate because….it is all connected! Literally, our fascia connects everything together, like saran wrap, or a web. However you picture it, just imagine that your body moves as one. Movement is another important point in Myofascial Release. Therapeutic Stretching is used to stretch the muscles and fascia, creating fluidity in the fibers. This is what leaves you feeling looser after a good massage.

At Peace of Mind Therapeutic Massage and Wellness in Denver we believe in integrating techniques to gain the best results for our clients. Myofascial Release is greatly complimented by Hyrdrotherapy, the use of heat to loosen up the fascia and muscles before application of massage. We do not charge extra for the use of our hydrotherapy heat packs or hot stones. We believe in using whatever tools we have to help our clients and not charging more for it. Trigger Point Therapy and Myofascial Release together can provide amazing results such as increased range of motion and over all improvement of posture and alignment.

When you come in for a massage at Denver’s Peace of Mind Massage you will discuss your issues with the Massage Therapist and the therapist will then come up with the best ways to treat these issues, incorporating techniques such as Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Sports Massage, and Hydrotherapy. The cost is simple, just $1 per minute or less with purchase of a package. Packages are a good investment because consistently receiving therapeutic massage is the best way for you to feel the results over a long period of time. Your body may return to it’s habitual poor posture if you are inconsistent with bodywork.

Now that you have a deeper understanding of what fascia is and what releasing it can do, what are you waiting for? Schedule your massage right now, you can book online or call us today to set up your appointment. $10 is taken off for first time clients.

Denver’s Best Corporate Massage can be found at Peace of Mind Therapeutic Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Corporate Massage is a morale boosting, energizing, and relaxing form of On Site Massage meant for the enjoyment of people at work. Enjoyment? At Work? Yes, it is possible! With Corporate Massage employers and employees can enjoy the benefits of Massage Therapy in the work place.

If you are a Denver business owner or manager utilizing Corporate Massage to reward or inspire your employees and workers can create the positive work environment you need to run a business. Showing your employees that you care about their health and well being will be meaningful.

If you are among the many often stressed and tired Denver hard workers out there, Corporate Massage might be just what you need on your break to keep the momentum going throughout the day. Instead of a coffee, get a Corporate Massage to boost your energy and calm your nerves!

I know first hand the powerfully positive effect Massage Therapy has in the corporate setting. I have brought Massage Therapy to Lockheed Martin, Scholastic Bookfairs, Orlando Sentinel, Engineering firms, lawyer’s offices, credit unions, and hospitals.

Massage Therapy is relaxing, rejuvenating, and restoring. Experience the power of touch with Corporate Massage at your workplace at the low cost of $1 per minute. This rate can be paid for by the employer or employee. The amount of time spent on each person can be predetermined by the employer or the employees can choose the amount of time they would like to book. There will be a sign up sheet sent out for people to sign up and reserve their spot prior to the day the Massage Therapists arrive.

Corporate Massage can also be used On Site at Corporate events and parties with a first come, first serve set up. On Site Massage added to your event will always be a hit with your attendees and guests. Use On Site Massage for your next convention, celebration, or special occasion.

Corporate Massage can be done on either a massage table or massage chair. The difference? Massage tables require more room. With table massage, the Massage Therapist can do more stretching and focused work. If you do not have enough space for a massage table, a massage chair can fit into smaller spaces easily. Corporate Massage is conducted with clothes on so it can be done in your conference room, empty office, or in the break room.

Corporate Massage can involve one or multiple therapists, in shifts, or at the same time. Corporate Massage can be brought to your Denver, Washington Park, Platt Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, and surrounding Denver neighborhoods businesses on a regular basis or at special events.
