MASSAGE THERAPY
| No, that's not someone's tense back being assessed in the photograph at right, it's a slab of rock. But at times, a stressed-out, physically challenged back can feel almost rock-like to both the massage practitioner and the client. By combining such modalities as soft-tissue massage and fascia manipulation to dissolve surface tension; deeper work with elbows to unlock underlying layers of muscular resistance; acupressure-based Potent Points to harmonize Chi flow; and percussive/vibrational techniques to increase bloodflow and oxygenation on the cellular level, Golden State Touch ensures optimal results. Clients will walk away feeling less like an immobile stone and more like happy, healthy human beings ready to embrace another beautiful day in the Now. |

THE MANY BENEFITS

Experts estimate that upwards of 90

internally and externally, than high
stress. While eliminating anxiety and
pressure altogether in this fast-paced
world may be idealistic, massage can,
without a doubt, help manage stress.
This translates into decreased anxiety,
enhanced sleep quality, greater energy,
improved concentration, increased
circulation and reduced fatigue, to
name just some of the benefits derived
from therapeutic touch.

"In treating muscles, you are treating fascia. Trying to
deal with muscles and fascia separately is like trying to
deal with a bubble separately from the air inside it."

| Unless specially requested, Golden State Touch almost never uses oils or lotions. This gives clients clients the option of receiving full-body massages while wearing loose-fitting clothing (above right) if they are more comfortable that way. |
