New Life Massage

Contact: Jill Zandstra, Jill

Business Description: My Name is Jill Zandstra.   I am a insured, certified massage therapist (CMT).  I enjoy being in a profession where I can provide a safe relaxing, educated space to practice massage.  This is one of the most incredible industries I have ever encountered.  The benefits of massage are ENDLESS.   I am so grateful to have the opportunity to use my gifts to help others achieve pain free, stress reduced well being.   I offer the following massage and I can work with you in my studio or at your home or office: Swedish Massage Swedish massage is the one most people are familiar with, in which oils and lotions are used to do mostly effleurage and petrasage strokes. "Effleurage" is the gliding motion of the hands up and down the body, while "petrasage" is the "milking" action of grabbing the muscles and kneading them. Neuromuscular Therapy Neuromuscular therapy, or NMT, is known for its deep pressure and its ability to release endorphins---the same brain chemicals released in exercise that are natural opiates that boost mood. In NMT, the massage therapist uses static pressure on specific myofascial---or "trigger"---points to relieve pain. This technique manipulates the body's soft tissues---the muscles, tendons and connective tissue---to help steady and rejuvenate your central nervous system. Deep connective tissue massage Deep connective tissue massage releases tension in the fascia to relieve chronic pain. This intense form of therapeutic massage combines aspects of Swedish massage and myofascial release to heal dysfunction. Deep tissue massage is a commonly asked for massage in spa and clinical settings. It is used to address pain in a specific area and is commonly used. Chair Massage Chair massage is a relaxing type of massage that re-energizes tired muscles and eases aches and pains. On-site massage is convienient, fast, effective and is a perfect introduction to massage. When you get an on-site massage in a massage chair you stay fully clothed. The therapist uses no oils or lotions. Most massages last about 15 minutes, but you can get massages as short as a few minutes long. Pregnancy massage/Prenatal Massage Pregnancy is hard on a woman's body. The added weight and relaxing of the ligaments that occur during pregnancy is stressful on the joints, especially the pelvis. Carrying the baby causes the pelvis to tilt. This puts pressure on the lower back. There is also a lot of stress put on the neck, shoulders and upper back. Getting massaged during pregnancy can: decrease symptoms of depression reduce anxiety relieve muscle aches lessen joint pains regulate hormones reduce swelling improve labor outcomes improve newborn health Pregnancy massage can also relieve nerve pain. Sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome sometimes occur during pregnancy.
