Massage Therapy
Larry and Shannon began their practice together as massage therapists more than 20 years ago. At Natick Massage and Healing Arts, massage therapy is used alongside other treatments to help clients relax, reduce pain, and relieve stress. Between them, Larry and Shannon offer several different types of massage including deep tissue, Swedish, sports, prenatal, postpartum, and hot stone massage.
Deep Tissue Massage
Larry uses deep tissue massage alongside his structural analysis treatment. This treatment uses long strokes and deep pressure to relieve deep-seated muscle tension.
Deep tissue is best for active individuals, sports injuries, chronic pain, muscle tension, and postural issues.
Deep Healing Massage Therapy
This massage session with Shannon combines a blend of techniques including myofascial release, deep tissue massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, medical cupping, and more to help balance and reset your systems to restore overall health.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is specifically designed to relieve the tension from high-intensity exercise, speed up recovery and reduce the risk of injury. Like deep issue massage, the practitioner massages the deep layers of muscle to release tight muscles and help you to relax.
This massage is best for athletes and individuals who practice high-intensity forms of exercise such as marathon runners, road bikers, and dancers.
Pre-Natal &
Post Partum Massage
Shannon is a certified birth doula through DONA International,( although she no longer attends births, she still loves to attend to pregnant clients ). A doula is a labor assistant who provides support for women during their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery period.
