Christine Hughes Massage Therapy

This method is used on the more superficial layers of musculature. It is used to increase circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote general relaxation. Direct finger pressure is used on specific painful contracted muscles until the muscle releases and then a stretch is applied. LooyenWork is a painless deep tissue bodywork methodology that addresses the uniqueness of each client. This is a method of analyzing and eliminating the spasms at the deepest muscular levels of the spine, pelvis, and ribs.

First, you can expect to be briefly interviewed as to your particular needs and medical history. Before, during, and after the massage, your privacy is strictly respected. When you are on the table, oil or lotion is used to work the muscles, beginning usually on the back and then systematically covering the extremities, head and neck.

Christine Hughes began her practice in 1987, when she graduated from the Carolina School of Massage Therapy (NC). Her modalities include Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point, LooyenWork, Intrinsic Mobilization, Cranio Sacral Therapy, and Hot Stone Massage. She began seeking an alternative healing method for a family member 30 years ago when conventional methods were proven unsuccessful. Her search led her to try many different forms of massage and bodywork which were met with great success.
