Description of the Sessions offered by Sharon Shapiro--

PROSSAGE-FULL SPECTRUM MASSAGE THERAPY AND BODYWORK REDEFINED

My intention is to create awareness, space, and balance for the entire body, addressing the whole dynamic, with the best and most effective techniques, modalities and technologies for people to heal, get the long lasting results they are looking for, and markedly improve and increase their quality of life, in my private practice and on-site at restaurants, fitness centers, B and B’s, Inns, hotels, resorts, golf courses, homes, offices, events, and seminars.

A safe space is created and held, which allows and supports one to get in touch with their own healing abilities by implementing and introducing several modalities and concepts to the client including:
Neuromuscular Therapy./Structural Bodywork: where we take a look at the body in its current postural patterns, take a health history, and a postural analysis, to determine where and how we will proceed with the treatments, thus creating awareness for the recipient about their own body.   (1 ½ -3 hour sessions)
 

DSL EdgeWork ^TM  (Structural Bodywork)  --3 hours

This work allows the client/patient to let go of  and transform chronic tension patterns and habits in the body...by releasing tight muscles that are keeping the body locked up, in pain, and in distortional patterns. Focused time is spent releasing the core lockdown mechanism of the body, which is the abdominal wall, the gluteal muscle group, and the hamstrings. This unique combination allows for a greater unlocking of old patterns to occur, thus unlocking a systemic holding pattern in the rest of the body. As we work together, there is a dialogue that happens between us, and we both are aware of the level of pain that exists in the body. This is important because there is not a need for the client to be in pain, but to know where their individual  “ edge” is; the place that still feels good without pain. One focus is to invite the body to rest and heal and go into a place where the nervous system can relax...not be activated by a pain response.
 
Another goal in this session is to create space in the body… to aid in proper functioning within the body...of its many systems, for example: blood flow, nerve impulses, digestion, elimination, breathing, and so on...  

I give the client a choice to talk or be silent and go within during any of the sessions... and do whatever feels right for them at that moment.  I educate each person about the body, before, after, and while I am working with them.... and give them some therapeutic stretches/exercises/ yoga poses to do to at home to help to maintain and support the changes that are happening from the sessions. We also look at past traumatic experiences, lifestyle and or occupation to see these effects, and look at ways to remedy those situations so they can be more comfortable, aware, and supportive to their physical needs.

NMT, DSL EdgeWork, Deep Tissue and Trigger point, as well as sports massage, are quite useful for athletes and yoga students, with the intention being to improve performance, increase flexibility, and speed up recovery time between training sessions, activities, or events.

REFLEXOLOGY sessions are 1 1/2 hours, primarily focusing on the feet, which are said to be a microcosm of the body. This work can have various effects on the system, from deep relaxation and creating balance within the whole system, to energizing areas that have been feeling depleted, as well as offering relief for many foot conditions or ailments.
 

HOLODYNAMICS-UNFOLDING POTENTIAL

Transforming consciousness and assisting people to become clearer about their fullest potential, and providing tools for this unfoldment to occur is a profound piece in the healing process. We look at the Whole Dynamic and our aim is to manifest solutions to life’s problems. This ”Tracking” is offered either individually, by itself, or can be done at the same time as  a bodywork session. More often than not, we hold limiting beliefs and old and new destructive patterns in the cells in our bodies, causing physical symptoms, and all sorts of blockages, which can manifest on either the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual levels.  This work is a catalyst to creating and realizing what the solutions are and integrating in to daily life.
 

CONSCIOUS CHOICES ON WHAT WE ARE PUTTING IN AND ON OUR BODIES

TOXIC FREE SKIN CARE, PERSONAL CARE, AND HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS

Another awareness shift occurs when it comes to cleansing and detoxification programs, related to food and nutrition, and making some simple yet profound dietary changes that would support the “ getting healthy “ process and the body's ability to listen, and therefore function much more effectively and efficiently all the way around. Of course, this is all shared upon prompting and questions from the client.

 I am very particular with the products that I chose to use on myself as well as my clients... and if they express an interest in knowing why...and what I am using, I will share with them about the toxic chemicals that are so rampant in our lives, in our stores and our homes and offer them solutions.

This is another tool to further help the body to be able to listen to itself and pay attention when things are happening and going on that are important to know about even if they are things that the body needs.
The toxic chemicals that are everywhere... in most products that most people are using on and in their beings...are extremely disruptive and dangerous for the body, and can have devastating effects both short term and long term, and contribute to the "noise pollution " inside our bodies. Most people are not aware of this at all which is a very scary situation, in my opinion. This is why I am so passionate about creating awareness in the hopes of once people know what is really happening they are empowered to make positive and healthy choices. Very often, once they find out it is even more scary because of the anger, rage and sadness that can come up... but there are solutions and ways to help to rid the body of these poisons...and to help the body get back to a place where it can begin to heal itself.

NEW: Prossage in the Chair: This is where I am able to offer on-site sessions in a massage chair (10, 20, and 30 minutes). I bring the work to you, either at your work, an event or somewhere in the community.

 Here is a bit about what CHAIR MASSAGE is, its benefits, and why it would be a great asset to your business:

Onsite CHAIR MASSAGE is something out of the ordinary. Your clients will be talking about the experience long into the future when speaking of their day. On-Site CHAIR MASSAGE is the perfect addition for product launches and as an award or gift to give customers or clients.

CHAIR MASSAGE is a method of muscle manipulation, pressure point therapy and energy balancing applied to specific points throughout the body while the client is comfortably seated in a chair specifically designed for this purpose.

CHAIR MASSAGE is a 10, 20, or 30-minute massage that is specifically suited to relieve stress in high tension areas and helps to promote a renewed sense of energy, well being and vitality. CHAIR MASSAGE is performed fully clothed without the use of oils in a specially designed ergonomic massage chair.

I generally provide therapy to the head, neck, shoulders, upper and lower back areas, arms and hands or the feet or I can concentrate on one of these specific areas. In just minutes, the client can experience complete relaxation through the release of stress and tension. The client's appearance is not disturbed so they can return to work, or go on with their day immediately.

On-Site CHAIR MASSAGE can provide a relaxing and therapeutic experience for your staff and clientele in many ways including:

Relief from aching muscles
Sooth nerves & boost morale
Increase mental clarity
Heighten productivity
Reduce stress and tension
Something productive and healthy to do while waiting

On-site CHAIR MASSAGE can be customized to fit right in with any existing promotion. More companies today are using On-site CHAIR MASSAGE & FOOT MASSAGE as a tool to promote themselves through wellness at special events and conferences. Relaxed people are happier and more creative, therefore it translates into better morale and productivity at work. What better way to relax and re-energize in as little as 10 minutes. CHAIR MASSAGE does not require a private space, so I can set up just about anywhere. It's convenient, I come to you!
