Massage therapy and bodywork
modalities and techniques

Myofascial Release - Hamid's specialty!
Addresses the three-dimensional web of connective tissue throughout the body. Restores fluidity, decreases pain and increases range of motion. Integrative, myofascial release represents the core of Hamid's work.

Certification in
Advanced Myofascial Techniques

Rolfing inspired bodywork. Hamid has received certification in Advanced Myofascial Techniques through several hands-on workshops held by Advanced-Trainings.com.

Deep Tissue Massage
Focused, deep muscle-sculpting, including passive and resisted exercises, encouraging release.

Trigger Point Massage
A Western form of Shiatsu...targeted compression freeing soft tissue restrictions, often resulting in a referral, a sensation appearing elsewhere in the body.

Craniosacral work
The subtle, third rhythm of the body, separate from the breath and heartbeat. A gentle, hands-on meditation.

Guided self-awareness
See the profound connection between body and mind.

Movement
Our bodies move! Get into your body and move where you want to move! Feel restrictions by exploring your range of motion. Stretch, walk, dance!
