Los Altos Massage Therapy: For a Healthy Body and Mind

Our Los Altos massage therapists have helped people find relief and deep internal healing from many different conditions: car accident injuries, sports injuries, chronic back pain and neck pain, sciatica, headaches and much more. It also relieves stress, which is a significant risk factor in many health problems. Here at Reimer Wellness Center, we have found that it also complements chiropractic therapies, both before and after spinal adjustments. Our massage therapists are extensively trained in deep tissue massage, bare foot shiatsu, myofascial, trigger points, sports massage, and much more.

Deep tissue massage we use deep, slow strokes and pressure, where we knead out tight areas deeper down in the muscle tissue. This aids in improved flexibility and range of motion as well as better circulation and reduced inflammation in the affected tissues. It is particularly good for overuse injuries and back pain.

Bare foot shiatsu, is a Japanese massage style that uses broad strokes from the massage therapist’s feet to cover a wider, deeper area all at once. Our Reimer Wellness Center massage therapists often use this to treat cramped lower back, leg, hip, shoulder and neck muscles, though it can even be used on the feet and hands.

Pre-natal massage is very important for pregnant women. It relieves stress that can affect the baby, relieves pregnancy aches and pains and improves overall circulation. Our Los Altos Massage therapists are especially trained to do this type of massage in positions that are comfortable and healthy for mom and baby.

Myofascial is a type of therapy that uses certain friction, rolling and shearing techniques to work on the fascia, which is the connective tissue that binds together the muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc. It helps relieve pain and tension and improves flexibility.

Our trigger point massages target deep pressure and release, our massage therapist breaks up tight, knotted and painful areas in the muscles called "adhesions" or scar tissue. Breaking down these trigger points relieves pain, improves muscle function, aids in healing and restores range of motion.

Sports Massage is particularly helpful for helping overused, overworked muscles to recover quickly by lowering inflammation and increasing circulation. It can also help improve performance before an activity by limbering up the tissues and supplying them with fresh oxygen and nutrients.
