To find the best massage in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we offer massage techniques ranging from deep tissue, sports massage, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, hot stone, manual lymphatic drainage, TMJ massage, trigger point, prenatal massage, reflexology and Craniosacral therapy. There are as many different varieties of massage modalities as there are reasons to use massage therapy for treatment. With such a wide variety of treatments your massage in Denver can be specified to meet your unique needs. If you have just started integrating massage therapy into your health regimen or if massage therapy is already an integral part of your personal health it is important to be mindful of the powerful effects that massage therapy has on the body.

The purpose of any massage modalities is to hone in on the specific muscles and muscle groups that are causing pain or discomfort, and use the appropriate strokes and techniques to release the muscles. During the process the muscles and joints are being trained on a muscular level to hold the body in a balanced, pain free position. It is very common for clients at our Denver massage clinic to come to us with concerns about a specific area of their body, and once they are on the table they learn that pain in one area of their body affects the entire system. Massage therapy effectively restores the body’s balanced posture because it considers each muscles contributions to the whole body function.

The skilled Denver massage therapists at Peace of Mind Massage are able to isolate specific muscle tension and correlate it back to the connectivity of the muscular system. Massage is useful for treating headaches and migraines by relieving pressure and releasing muscles of the head, neck and shoulders that are related to the pain. Massage can be used to increase range of motion and flexibility in areas with restricted movement. We are also able to provide massage that helps the body recover from injury. By increasing blood flow to the affected area as well as breaking up excessive scar tissue formation that could inhibit movement or cause pain.

Body work helps alleviate aches and pains by providing a passive workout for the body while focusing on muscles pain caused by inactivity or repetitive motion. To get the most benefit from massage therapy we recommend for the client to continuously train the muscles to hold balance posture. This can be done by stretching the muscles that are typically flexed or tightened, and strengthening the muscles that are extended or stretched during daily activity. Some practices that compliment massage therapy and which can be done throughout the day are yoga or meditation. We have referral relationships with yoga studios and meditation sanctuaries in Denver.

At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver, it is our philosophy that massage therapy provides a passive workout for your body and due to the intense nature of the treatment is it common for the muscles to be sore the day after receiving massage. This is because the muscles have been worked while they are relaxed which allows the therapist to stimulate the muscles on a deeper level than self-stretching or even a regular work out will allow. Although during the massage you may be very relaxed, it is helpful to remember that your muscles have been thoroughly worked and it’s recommended that you limit your physical activity for the remainder of the day. We suggest that physical activity after a massage be treated like the cool down part of your work out, paying special attention to areas that were focused on during the massage.

There are several other things that you can do to get the most benefits out of your massage in Denver! Taking an Epsom salt bath can replenish the body with help nutrients and the active ingredient; magnesium sulfate; helps to remove toxins from the body. If it’s too hot outside to take a full bath then just soak the areas that are of most concern. Applying ice or a cold pack for 2-5 minutes to areas with inflammation or soreness will help relieve pain. Remember to drink plenty of water before and after your massage and communicate with your Denver massage therapist about what you are feeling before, during and after the massage. This will help us create the best possible treatment for your specific needs. We are dedicated to helping you get the most benefits from massage therapy and your wellness program!

Oncology Massage

To find the best Oncology Massage in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Peace of Mind Massage is happy to be sponsoring the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in our beautiful neighborhood park, Washington Park Friday, July 20th, 2012. We will be donating our time with free massage during the Luminaria Ceremony between 9:30pm and 11:30pm.

With the Wash Park Relay for Life coming up this weekend, we are reminded to continue our fight against cancer by doing everything we can to promote wellness and support for those who are fighting the battle against cancer. Incorporating massage therapy into the oncology treatment plan is an important piece of the healing process. There are many massage modalities that can be helpful during any stage of cancer treatment. Often times the lymphatic system of oncology patients has been compromised, constricting one of the body’s natural methods of fighting illness. Lymphatic obstruction may cause swelling due to a blockage of lymph fluid. In these cases Manual Lymph Drainage Massage (MLD) is very beneficial to the client.

The lymphatic system is located just under the skin and can be stimulated with pressure as light as the weight of a penny. Manual Lymph Drainage Massage is a light pressure massage which opens up the lymph nodes and redirects the flow of lymph fluid through the system. Once the lymph nodes have been stimulated and the lymph flow redirected, the system is able to drain the excess fluid.

Due to the light nature of Oncology massage clients are able to receive manual lymph drainage massage during times that deep tissue would be contraindicated; during radiation, chemotherapy and after surgery. Manual Lymph drainage helps move chemotherapy drugs through the body more quickly, which initially can cause sickness, and will help the body recover more quickly. Healthy lymph flow will help distribute immune cells to areas of the body they are most needed.

Other massage modalities that are beneficial to oncology treatment are Swedish and Reflexology massage. It’s also important for caretakers and family of oncology patients to maintain health and wellness with regular massage.

Book an Oncology massage with the writer of this blog, Amber Delay, one of the talented licensed Massage Therapists at Peace of Mind Massage who specializes in Oncology Massage. And please join us at the Wash Park Relay for Life on July 20th, 2012!

Stress has a mental and physical effect on your body that can consume your life. If you don’t find ways to relieve stress you could end up feeling depressed, anxious, and lethargic.

To find the best massage for runners in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Spring is upon us and with the absence of snow comes the trails clearing up, paths looking more enticing and long days in which to enjoy some great runs. Here in our beautiful state of Colorado, we enjoy a rich culture of athletes, many of whom enjoy running. Massage for runners is absolutely essential for your self-care regiment. If you are a runner and enjoy competing or simply want to stay healthy so that you can continue to run, massage can help your body in many ways.

Running is an excellent sport in which one can really log out and shut down. However, along with accumulating miles comes an accumulation of many natural biological affects to your body. To name a few, they include swelling, inflammation of the tissues in the legs and hips, as well as lactic acid buildup which causes soreness over time. Massage for runners can treat and even prevent these common running conditions. Constantly harboring inflammation alone, can lead to a host of problems, some short term and others more long term. These affects in total can be limiting you in your training as well as your performance. A skilled massage therapist can remove these wastes from the tissues speeding recovery and improving flexibility.

Runners commonly suffer from pulls and strains, injuries that can put them on the sidelines for some time or in worse cases for a season. These muscle injuries can be easily prevented with routine maintenance through massage. Runners often have very tight muscles throughout their lower body, often experiencing pain and discomfort, but never seek treatment. Don’t put your enjoyment at risk, but instead listen to your body’s needs by getting regular massage.

Massage for runners at Peace of Mind Massage in Denver, will typically be sports massage focused with therapeutic stretching, deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial release, and swedish techniques incorporated for an over all rejuvenating therapeutic massage. Massage for runners will also be aimed at easing stress and tension, so you can restore both body and mind.

Massage for runners changes the tissues at a deep, structural level that can impact your performance, so it is recommended to receive this kind of work no less than 48 hours before a race for optimum results. Make sure to seek a licensed professional that has experience with working on runners. Making your overall wellness a priority is essential in endurance sports such as running. As an athlete, you can run in the best gear, eat and hydrate properly, and be on a strong training plan, but massage is the one component that you will notice huge gains from, making massage for runners an invaluable pillar of training.

To find the best massage for cycling in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

The weather in Colorado is warming up and you can tell by all the cyclists on the streets and in the parks. Cycling is not just a great work out for the Denver community, it’s a way of transportation for many during the warm months. With all that work on your legs, hips, and your entire body, massage for cycling is a must! If you’re a cyclist that cycles competitively it is even more important for you to receive regular massage therapy. Massage for cycling will increase range of motion, decrease soreness, and improve performance.

Massage for cycling will include swedish, myofascial release to bring circulation to drained tissue, trigger point release for tension build up, and therapeutic stretching, sports massage techniques to improve elasticity in joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Not only does cycling require leg strength, but the positioning of your upper body over the front handles can cause a lot of pain in the back, shoulders, arms, and neck. It is so important to stretch all of your body before and after cycling. Massage for cycling will teach you unique and dynamic stretching techniques to take home and do on your own.

Massage for cycling should be done on a regular basis. If you have a cycling event or just plan to go for a longer time, plan your massage accordingly. Massage for cycling before hand will warm you up, decrease soreness during the ride, and prepare your muscles for the hard work you’re about to put them through. Think of massage for cycling as a work out for your muscles that your massage therapist does for you. Massage for cycling post bike ride will shorten recovery, remove toxic build up immediately, and calm your nervous system.

Did you know that Lance Armstrong has said he gets 200 massages a year? Lance Armstrong is a cancer fighting, Tour de France winning, infamous American cyclist. Lance Armstrong has said that massage for cycling is extremely important for his performance ability. Professional athletes must include massage therapy and other health and wellness treatments in their training regiment or their bodies will fail. If you are not a professional athlete you are at an even bigger risk for injury. Professional athletes have the most resources and an entire team of health and wellness people overlooking their lifestyle. If you simply enjoy long distance cycling, or riding your bike around Washington Park, you may not think you need to get 200 massages a year like Lance. However, you can’t skip out on taking care of your body, or it will not take care of you!

At Peace of Mind Massage, we are surrounded by beautiful parks, Washington Park and Platt Park. Denver itself is full of trails that wrap around the entire city. And, of course Colorado is home to the biggest mountains in the country. If you are a mountain biker, you’re prone to accidents that can leave you quite beaten up. Massage for cycling spans all of the various arenas of cycling; road, trail, mountain, stationary. We cater to cyclists at Peace of Mind. We even have a big backyard for our clients who cycle to the clinic to store their bike while they’re in session.

Peace of Mind is affordable with the cost as low as $50 an hour with purchase of great packages you can share with friends and family. We even have an acupuncturist on staff to help with difficult conditions like Sciatica or Neuropathy, which can deter an avid cyclist from climbing on a bike. We hope to put back together those who have fallen apart and feel they can no longer cycle. We don’t believe in telling our patients, “just stop cycling”. We know it’s a passion for our clients that won’t just go away. We do our best to help our clients manage their pain and maintain their strength so they can keep doing what they love. Our “best” includes advanced sports massage therapists who are passionate about what they’re doing and have helped many athletes of all levels. Massage for cycling is a vital part of being a healthy, happy bicyclist.

Migraine Massage in Denver

Posted on by

To find the best migraine massage in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Did you know you can treat migraines with Migraine Massage? Migraine Massage is a natural migraine treatment. Over 29 million Americans suffer from migraines that greatly depreciate their quality of life which can affect them both professionally and personally. Many who experience these headaches seek natural remedies because drug prescriptions can often cause serious side effects. Migraine Massage offers many techniques that can greatly reduce or even completely relive the persistent pressure and pulsating pain that stops you in your tracks.

The typical migraine affects one side of the head, pulsates or pounds and can last anywhere from two to 72 hours. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and both light and sound sensitivity. Migraines are vascular headaches that, physiologically, often relate to the constriction of blood vessels that trigger inflammatory responses of the brain, head or neck. For this reason, Migraine Massage is an exceptional natural migraine treatment.

Types of Migraine Massage that can provide the best treatment are trigger point therapy, deep tissue, Swedish, Neuromuscular Therapy, TMJ Syndrome massage to name a few. Trigger Point massage can be used to treat specific areas of tenderness or pain that can refer into the head, often times from muscles found in the neck only by a skilled, licensed therapist. Swedish can be a useful modality to help someone find deep relaxation, offsetting tension and stress that could be the initial cause. TMJ syndrome massage works specifically with tension found in the jaw. This type of natural Migraine Massage treatment will work especially well for those suffering due to grinding their jaw.

In a Migraine Massage session focused on treating migraine headaches, work may be solely focused on face, head, neck and shoulders. Results can vary from person to person as some people will leave a treatment headache-free or will find a gradual decrease in intensity and frequency. In some cases, it will take a combination of therapies or lifestyle changes to yield positive results.

Range of motion

Posted on by

To get professional help improving your range of motion in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Are you concerned about your limited range of motion? If you aren’t, you should be. Limited range of motion can lead to repetitive motion injuries such as frozen shoulder, carpel tunnel syndrome, and other painful conditions. We put our bodies through repetitive strain in our regular daily activities. This often results in decreased range of motion in the shoulders, knees, hips, neck, spine and even the jaw. What can cause a decrease in range of motion vary from playing sports, to sitting in one position all day on the job, to just not stretching your muscles and joints over too long a period of time. Stretching is an important habit you need to get into in order to maintain health range of motion in all your joints and muscles.

Don’t have time to stretch? At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we hear that excuse a lot when we ask our clients about stretching for increased range of motion. Make time to stretch every day, just 15-20 minutes in the morning or at night before bed, and you’ll be amazed at the difference. You’ll also be amazed to find how many more aches and pains you didn’t even know about that are going on in your body. You can only become aware of what’s really happening in your body when you actually take the time to listen to it.

A major benefit of Massage Therapy is increased range of motion. Even with a relaxation swedish massage range of motion is improved just by the increase in oxygen rich blood flow to your muscles. A Massage Therapist with advanced training in Sports Massage, Therapeutic Stretching, and Active Isolated Release Stretching can do a completely focused massage on really improving your range of motion and also teach you self massage and stretching techniques for you to use at home.

What is Active Isolated Release Stretching? In addition to lengthening muscle fibers and loosening joints to improve range of motion, strengthening weak muscle is just as important. Muscles and joints can be hyper mobile. When this is the case muscle tone is usually compromised. Finding a balance between loose and strong is the goal for healthy range of motion. Active Isolated Release Stretching involves using resistance to retrain muscles, the Massage Therapist will be providing the resistance against a motion the client does, focusing in on a specific weak muscle.

You certainly don’t have to be an athlete to be in need of Massage Therapy for improved range of motion. It is beneficial for senior citizens to fight against stiffness that comes with old age. Arthritis in the joints can be managed or prevented with Massage Therapy. Young people should be thinking about maintaining healthy range of motion too. The younger one begins stretching on a regular basis, the healthier they’ll be into old age. Musicians are also high risk for repetitive motion injuries because of the repetitive strain playing an instrument puts on the body. Most everyone has a routine. Be it driving to and from work every day, spending hours on the computer every day, sleeping on the same side of your body every night, or chewing your dinner on the same side of your mouth sub consciously, you’re putting repetitive strain on your body whether you realize it or not. Range of motion becomes compromised by repetitive strain IF you do not oppose those repetitive movements with stretching your body in all the various directions it can go to.

If you were to look at the anatomical body of a fit person while it goes through yoga poses, you would see just how far your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints can stretch. The body operating at it’s full potential for range of motion is an incredible sight. The less extra weight one carries also helps in increased range of motion. Exercise and stretching must go hand in hand though, because if you’re lifting weights, running, or doing any strenuous work out with OUT stretching, you’re only decreasing your range of motion. The more tension you build in your muscles with weight training, and the more pressure you put on your joints with cardiovascular work outs, the more you should be stretching to avoid tension build up which results in pain. When you’re in pain, you won’t want to work out. That is the viscous cycle.

At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver, Colorado, we not only offer Massage Therapy to improve your range of motion, but we offer therapeutic stretching and stretching exercises to maintain a healthy range of motion. Doing Massage Therapy is a repetitive strain in itself. We are always learning more stretching techniques through maintaining healthy range of motion in our own bodies.

If you are looking for professional help in improving your range of motion, book a Sports Massage with us. Sports Massage is an umbrella term for Therapeutic Stretching, Active Isolated Release Stretching, and other modalities such as Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy that we will integrate together to improve your range of motion.

To find the best massage for seniors in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage 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.

There are many benefits of massage for seniors. Seniors in Denver can especially benefit from massage therapy and body work. Colorado is known to be one of the fittest states in the nation. Health is very important to people of all ages in Denver. Colorado is home to the rocky mountains and people come here from around the world to ski, snowboard, snow shoe and more. People who live here love to take advantage of our mountains and all their sports. In Denver and surrounding neighborhoods such as Washington Park, seniors are active walking or cycling around our beautiful parks and trails. To continue skiing well into your old age get regular massage and bodywork.

Massage for seniors means more energy and less pain when doing things with their children and grandchildren. Massage for seniors allows physical pass times like gardening to continue without aches and pain. Many seniors seem to think that they just have to live with painful symptoms they often attribute to arthritis. Stiffness and pain in the hands and knees is associated with aging and arthritis. Massage Therapy helps those with arthritis in their hands feel less pain and gain greater grip strength. Regular massage therapy for arthritis in the knees results in less stiffness and pain and increased physical function.

Seniors are often forced to take medications for various medical conditions. Arthritis, muscle cramps and spasms, depression, and anxiety can all be helped naturally with massage and bodywork. Massage for seniors can help lower blood pressure, calm the nervous system, and decrease depression because massage helps release serotonin and dopamine(your happy chemicals). Massage is a natural anti anxiety and depression medication. Massage for seniors can help ease the pain because it produces natural pain killing endorphins. Massage is a natural pain killer! It’s always a good idea for seniors to consult with their Doctor prior to massage and bodywork to determine if these therapies are safe in conjunction with medications and certain medical conditions.

There are several massage therapy techniques for seniors that would benefit the aging body(and mind). There’s no stopping the aging process, but there’s holistic ways of managing it. Your massage therapist will talk to you and find out what your goals are and issues, and the session will be personally tailored to fit your needs. If you are a senior who is depressed, reflexology massage could help relax you. If you are suffering from trouble with range of motion, trigger point therapy and therapeutic stretching may decrease your stiffness greatly. At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we even offer Yoga Therapy, which is a great way to enter into yoga safely. Seniors need to use caution when doing yoga or massage and make sure they are in the safe hands of licensed and trained individuals.

Massage for seniors is important for the emotional support through safe touch. Many seniors have lost their partners and family members and are touch deprived. Massage for seniors is a place of warm, compassionate, and supportive touch that they may otherwise not get at all. The Massage Therapists and holistic health practitioners at Peace of Mind Massage in Denver find so much reward in helping seniors in need of massage. We cater to those who may need a little extra time getting on and off the table. Let us know if you need it and we’ll do our best to provide the extra time at no extra charge or loss of massage work. We even have ADA compliant hydraulic massage tables that lower all the way to the ground for safely getting on and off the massage table. We have a treatment room on ground level for seniors or anyone who needs to avoid stairs.

Massage for seniors needs to be affordable. Seniors are often retired and without an income. In this economy many seniors have to budget everything in order to retire. At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we have some of the lowest prices in the area. We charge only $60 per hour or less with packages. Peace of Mind’s prices are simple, we don’t charge extra for anything. Not hot stones, advanced modalities, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy, or deeper pressure. To show our love for our senior clients we are now offering a senior discount of $10 for 60 minutes or more Mondays through Thursdays. This discount can not be combined with other discounts or used on packages. We hope our low prices allow our clients to budget massage and bodywork into their lives on a regular basis.

Massage is not just a luxury for the rich. Massage is not just for when you are in desperate pain either! Massage is something people should have on a regular basis for their over all health and well being. Seniors often have some misconceptions or reservations about massage. The women at Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness are compassionate and friendly while always upholding professionalism. We use our knowledge to help our clients get results, and we aim to provide the most relaxing, comfortable environment possible.

With our entire team of massage therapists expanding their knowledge with various techniques and then sharing this knowledge with each other, no matter the issue or preference, we have a treasure chest of skills to use on our clients. It is important for us as massage therapists to continue researching and perusing the latest health information that pertains to our scope of practice. Peace of Mind Massage is a wellness center and we have other health care practitioners that we will refer out to if your condition could benefit from complimentary therapy.
Couple's Massage
Another key factor which makes for the best spa for massage in Denver is the environment and location of the spa. Spa’s located in busy urban cities such as Denver are often hard to get to, find, and park in. Peace of Mind Massage in Denver is central to all of the Denver neighborhoods such as Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Englewood, Littleton, Greenwood Village, Capital Hill, Glendale, and Denver Tech Center. We are around the corner from the Louisiana/Pearl Lightrail station and right off I25. Although we are centrally located and in a business district we are amongst the beautiful and quaint Platt Park/West Washington Park neighborhood. Businesses sit next to homes on South Pearl Street. These businesses are often in converted Victorian homes such as Peace of Mind Massage. Our house was built in 1890 and is 2 stories with 3 treatment rooms, 1 downstairs, and 2 up. The large and comfortable waiting room is peaceful and many of our clients enjoy simply sitting in the waiting room, listening to the soothing music we play throughout the house and the water trickling from relaxing fountains. You can enjoy a warm cup of tea and sit in the dimly lit waiting room before and after your massage appointment. No detail or special touch is spared in each and every room in our wellness center. Your comfort in every sense is taken into consideration. We even have our own parking in the front of the house and ample free street parking is available too. The 1200 block of south pearl street is quiet yet full of places to eat and shop before or after your massage appointment.
Waiting Room
Price is something that holds many people back from seeking the best spa for massage in Denver. Most people simply don’t think they could afford the best spa for massage in Denver. Many people end up at Massage Envy because they think that affordable price is only attained in that type of massage establishment. You can afford to be pampered at Peace of Mind Massage for just $60 per hour or less with packages. That’s $1 per minute or less, and we don’t fool around with 50 minute massages like Massage Envy and most big spas do. You can afford to get the best full body massage for any ailment, ache, or pain. You don’t just have to do it for special occasions. You can even get a Couple’s Massage and Hot Stone Massage at no extra charge. We incorporate all the elements we possibly can to enhance your experience that big corporate spas do with the exclusion of a shower facility or hot tub/sauna/steam room and keep it within our simple and affordable pricing. If you’re looking for a spa with more of that type of facility, you may have to give up a great massage for the use of those facilities. It’s a shame that most big spas that have those types of facilities don’t seem to care as much about the quality of the massage therapists working in their spa. We try to bring luxury spa massage together with therapeutic massage in a neighborhood that is both funky and fancy at Peace of Mind Massage.
