The Relaxation Point
The relaxation point, commonly referred to as "The Relaxation Response", is the moment when the body finds within itself an avenue or an ability to open up, unwind and let go. When this happens, pain cycles may begin to be interrupted, if even for a moment.
This moment, this happening, is the conscious or unconscious beginning of awareness to the self and the healing process.
In terms of massage, as therapist, through Trigger Point Therapy, Kinesthetic Awareness through Movement, connective tissue work, general Swedish and other modalities, Joseph seeks for this moment to begin within each client in hopes that finding the relaxation point may assist in their own personal healing, centeredness and self awareness for a better way of living.

What is an integrative holistic approach to massage?
Integrative simply means to pull from many different modalities in order to use the approach most suited to the client and their current issue. A holistic approach means that the whole person is considered. Joseph includes analysis of the past history of a client’s physical self in order to have a finer picture as to what may be contributing to the tension or injury that causes them to come in and what procedures need to be taken. His extensive understanding of anatomy and physiology allows him to address issues in a deeper way than one might typically receive in a spa massage. Joseph’s approach to massage is one that brings about true change in the body over time rather than a temporary quick fix.
