Shawn Riley, CMT, NCTMB


Shawn Riley brings a strong interest in facilitating natural self-healing by
customizing his therapy to allow the client's body to release from habitual
stresses and/or acute/chronic injuries. Currently, he offers Upper-body
Myofascial Release, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone and Chair massage. His
use of Upper Body Myofascial Release massage - which is very deep work
without lotion, cream or oil - can release chronic/acute stress, tension,
and pain while increasing range and ease of motion.

*Myofascial Release Massage* Fascial tissue (a thin, white membrane which
wraps all musculature) is most elastic in the young. Soft, pliable,
stretchy, and slick it serves as a lubricant but for various reasons such as
injury and aging it becomes hard, rigid, dense, fibrous, inelastic, and
shortened. Myofascial Release Massage will help begin to return fascial
tissue to an earlier, healthier state through very hard/heavy/deep massage
without lubrication.

*Lomi Lomi* A flowing, vibrant, and deeply relaxing all body massage.
Hands are often used clasped and forearms are used in long fluid strokes of
varying rhythm and intensity up and down and all around the body. Lomi Lomi
increases circulation, sense of well-being, and self-awareness while
unifying body and mind providing stress relief.
