Modalities Incorporated
Antonina integrates multiple modalities into a session. Each session is unique, and tailored to work within the willingness your tissue offers that day to release tension. The willingness of muscle tissue to accept the work varies from day-to-day and is dependent upon many things—the level of physical pain you are feeling, your stress level, your energy level, and your body's hydration level are just a few. We work with what your body is willing to do each time you come in, and each session builds upon the next to ensure your goal is achieved, and that the change is long-lasting.
Deep Tissue
The purpose of deep tissue work is to release the restrictions in connective tissue and fascia that are impacting movement of the joints and the ability to maintain good posture. Many people think that deep tissue work need be painful to be effective, but quite the opposite is true. The intent of the work is therapeutic, and the focus is very specific. (more info)

Visceral Tissue Work
This work focuses on what's happening inside the body—on our organs. When they are working at an optimal level, our organs have an inherent subtle movement that allows them to gently push against each other inside the body. These subtle movements keep the tissue inside the body elastic, allow the organs to work as they are meant to work, and ensures our systems are in balance, keeping us healthy. The tissue of the organs, like any muscle tissue, can get stuck and impact not only the functioning of our body's systems, but also our posture and ability to move easily. (more info)
Reiki
Reiki treats the electric/energy flows through the tissue body. The focus of a treatment is to balance and open subtle energetic blockages in the body that have an impact on the physical tissue in the musculoskeletal structure. (more info)
