Captain's Table Massage By Wayne

"Have Table - Will Travel"

LomiLomi (traditional Hawaiian or Pacific Islander modality) and Esalen-style (Esalen is a Trade Mark of Esalen Institute, CA) are similar massage modalities in that they incorporate long flowing full body strokes, that freely connect physical effects of massage with energy and breath in a natural holistic manner with healing intent. Touch is a basic need, as essential as air, food or water; receiving such nurturing touch therapies can heal us from within as well as from outside.

These intuitive approaches incorporate many Swedish strokes with hands, elbows and forearms in very dynamic sweeping motions that emulate the ebb and flow of the sea. Captain Wayne integrates some of these techniques with the warmth of Hot Stones to create a very relaxing experience.

Sports Massage helps athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance (Pre-Event warm-up and injury prevention for 15-20 minutes) or recover after an event (Post-Event stretches and cramp prevention for 15-20 minutes). Sports massage is a type of Swedish massage, using many of the same strokes, but usually at a faster tempo, stimulating circulation of blood and lymph fluids, stretching muscles, and increasing the range of motion in joints.

Sports massage is usually conducted at, or near, the event site and within an hour of the start time. Post-Event stretches are done immediately following a cool-down period. Both sessions are done fully clothed in sports gear. Sports massage is great for warm-up/cool-down for 10Ks, marathon runs or walks, triathlons or prior to softball games and soccer matches. Or, opt for a full body relaxation massage following a round of golf or a day on the slopes.
