Deep Tissue Massage  
     
 
Nancy Bretschneider, Licensed Holistic Massage and Healing Arts practitioner providing Circuitry Alignment, Reconnective Healing, Therapeutic, Pregnancy, Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Hot Stone Massage, Reiki, and Reflexology. Massage that uses a lot of pressure is often thought to be Deep Tissue Massage.  Deep Tissue Massage contacts the deeper, sub-layer of musculature and connective tissue, or fascia throughout the body. It helps to soften stagnant, inflexible muscle tissue, bringing blood and oxygen back into areas of chronic pain, inflammation, or injury.  This technique can be effective without hurting.  It is generally integrated with other massage techniques.
   
"When I began training for the Long Trail end to end, I found that I needed to go beyond the usual strengthening and stretching.  Nancy's deep tissue massage helped my knees heal so that I not only completed, but enjoyed the 272 mile journey through Vermont.  She is the only therapist who listened and provided true healing therapy.  This year, with her help, I completed my first triathlon at the age of 41.  Thank you Nancy!"

"Nancy knows instinctively where the stress points in my body are and just what I need.  Her combination of deep tissue work, overall soothing touch, and sometimes stretching always sends me away revived in body and spirit.”
