Table methods: I blend a variety of techniques during each session, tailored to fit your needs. I like to use hot stones as a heating tool on particularly stiff muscles. I will also use essential oils to enhance relaxation effects (no extra charge) on a massage. I offer a heated table, below is a description of those modalities I may use for your session. My main goal is for the client to have a pain free therapeutic or relaxation massage. Steve Neely practices @ GHSU Wellness Center in Augusta, Ga and am a contract massage therapist in North Augusta, and Aiken S.C.
Communication: A client’s descriptions combined with my observations will define my session plan. Open honest communication is the key. I want to know if pressure is to much or to little! My client and I work as a team. You need to help me give you the maximum results.
Rossiter Stretching: My most effective and fastest modality is Rossiter system stretching.
Certified Rossiter System Coach: The Rossiter System relieves and prevents pain because it directly tackles the causes of pain. Tightness, pain, throbbing, aching and limited movement in muscles and joints occur because surrounding connective tissue has shortened and tightened from overuse and repetition. The Rossiter System's stretching techniques loosen entire areas of connective tissue and restore mobility and circulation. The result is effective pain relief and free movement.
Swedish Massage:Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), friction (cross fiber) and vibration/shaking. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in clients. It has also been shown to be helpful in individuals with poor circulation.
Deep Tissue Massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes), and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is not uncommon for receivers of deep tissue massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two.
A stone massage is a massage that uses smooth, flat, and heated rocks placed at key points on the body. Generally the rocks used in a stone massage are basalt, which has high heat retention qualities. Stones are placed in water and heated to approximately 125 °F (52 °C)before placement on the body. The stones are usually placed on specific points on the back, but can be placed other places such as between the toes, or in the palms of the hands.
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques: Early recognition of common strain patterns before they become pain patterns. How facilitated muscles create and inhibited muscles permit asymmetry in the skeletal system. Myoskeletal Alignment uses assessment of structural facet dysfunction using fourth-layer muscle fibrosis as a tool.
Use of Orthopedic massage techniques: These techniques address pelvic stabilization and lower extremity injuries.

Leslie offers:Russian massage integrates sports massage with the relaxing techniques of therapeutic massage. It offers a number of benefits because the style of the treatment depends on the physical makeup of an injury, rather than the person’s body as a whole.
Couples massage Two people are massaged in the same room, at the same time, by two different therapists. It can be a husband and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend, or even moms and daughters or even best friends. It's great way to share the experience.
Prenatal massage -- "Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health."
Russian, Couples and Prenatal massage can be booked with Leslie Saxton @ Riverside Ergogenics
