Aleta has learned different therapeutic modalities of massage to help sooth and alleviate muscle pain. She maintains the philosophy of Holistic Healing, being able to take care of ones self and maintain wellness. Her massage style is a combination Swedish massage, deep tissue, trigger point therapy and neuromuscular therapy. Swedish is a relaxation-type massage that is very soothing, Deep tissue deals with moving muscles with deep concentrated pressure. The last two modalities are more rehabilitative: Trigger point therapy targets your ‘pain spot’ aka hypertonic ‘knots’; where a small area of your muscle is contracted. Neuromuscular therapy is almost like deep tissue except with alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle pain or strain.Aleta Graduated in January 2007 from Everest College, specializing in one on one training in Spa and Clinical techniques.
