This article delves into the world of release massage and its numerous benefits for the residents of Grayslake and beyond.
Understanding Release Massage and Its Various Forms
Release massage encompasses a variety of techniques aimed at promoting relaxation, easing muscle tension, and creating other health benefits. These techniques include:
Relaxation Massage: Indulgent and soothing, relaxation massage may not provide therapeutic treatment, but the psychological benefits of the deep relaxation it provides are equally beneficial to body, mind and spirit. Relaxation massage is typically performed in a temperature-controlled room with a soothing ambiance, delicate lighting, and relaxing music. The client lies comfortably on a massage table, undressed, but adequately draped with a large sheet. This type of massage is entirely customizable. The massage therapist will tailor the massage to the needs and preferences of the client and increase or decrease pressure accordingly. Relaxation massage focuses on the neck muscles and shoulders, where much tension is held, as well as the muscles of the back, legs, and feet for head-to-toe soothing. Following a relaxation massage, clients should feel relaxed, pampered, and recharged. Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes.
Therapeutic Massage: This type of massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, and create other health benefits.
Myofascial Release: Myofascial Release uses specific techniques to stretch and repair the connective tissue between your muscles (fascia).

Craniosacral Therapy: This therapy uses gentle touch manipulation of your head, neck, and the bottom of your spine.
Pregnancy Massage: Pregnancy massage focuses on addressing the special needs of expecting women. Obstetricians often refer their patients for pregnancy massage.
Reiki: Reiki uses a technique commonly called palm or hands on healing.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage: Lymphatic drainage massage follows a protocol to increase lymph flow in the body’s tissues, helping it find new pathways that drain lymph away from swollen areas.
TMJD Pain Relief Therapy: TMJD pain relief therapy is used as an adjunct treatment to treat pain associated with Temporomandibular joint dysfunction/any jaw pain and includes both external massage to the jaw and head as well as massage inside the mouth.

The Benefits of Release Massage
Beyond general relaxation, massage therapy offers a host of medical and mental health benefits. One reason massage therapy is believed to be so beneficial is the therapist's personal, hands-on approach to healing. Another is the therapist's holistic focus on restoring overall health in addition to relieving specific areas of pain. Massage therapy has many advantages over some other treatments, providing immediate results, taking little time, and involving no medication.

Key Considerations:
- Comfort Level: First and foremost, it is imperative that clients always be covered with a top sheet. Though it is customary to remove clothing, you are encouraged to do so only to your comfort level. Professional draping will always be used for privacy purposes. Our therapists can work through clothing as well, if needed.
- Communication: Claire listens to her clients body and is able to respond balancing technical percesion with mindfulness. Claire not only listens to what I felt I needed, she listened to what my body needed. She regularly inquired as to how it is feeling and if I would like more intense or less intense. Libertyville Massage Therapy Clinic has excellent therapists who listen to your needs and respond accordingly.
- Professionalism: Very pleased with the professionalism that Claire exhibited. She knew I had Parkinson’s disease and she did her homework prior to our first session. Looking forward to my next session.
- Experience and Expertise: Claire is an exceptional massage therapist. She is intuitive and knowledgeable. My wife is a Massage therapist and was for many years an instructor, she recommended Claire for Structural Integration.
