Massage Therapy Techniques
Ancient art healing in Littleton offers two types of massages, Esalen-Inspired and Neuromuscular. Massage services are performed by Vicki Ibbotson, a licensed massage therapist.
Esalen – Inspired Massage
Integrates
- Deep Tissue
- Acupressure
- Passive Joint Manipulation
- Stretching
- Long Smooth Strokes
The long, slow strokes help bring the body out of the “Fight or Flight” state that often comes with living and working in this fast-paced world.
As the body moves into a more relaxed and balanced state of being, it is prepared to receive and respond to deep muscle work.
Deep tissue work performed in this manner provides relief from tight, painful, and “stuck” areas of the body, with little or no pain.
Neuromuscular Massage
Neuromuscular massage offers a thorough program of recovery from acute and chronic pain syndromes.

- Specific Massage Therapy

Can be part of a comprehensive program, complementing all other health care modalities.
