What is Massage Therapy:
Massage Therapy means the systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, (including manual techniques of gliding, percussion, compression, vibration, and gentle stretching) for the purpose of bringing about beneficial physiologic, mechanical, and/or psychological changes.

At Moved by Music, we provide In Home Massage Therapy. The therapist will arrive with a massage chair.
Massage will look very different for every individual. Here are some things to expect:
Rapport: Building rapport will be the first and most important part! The therapist will ask the client’s permission before beginning the session and also come up with boundaries of touch that align for each specific client. In some cases, we ask them to have a favorite blanket or stuffed animal ready for the session.
Attire/Creams: Children do not disrobe and we ask that parents remain in the room. We also do not use creams or lotions or oils in case of a reaction with skin or medications. If you would like us to use lotion, please provide a product for the massage therapist to use. Comfortable loose shorts or pants and t-shirts are the preferred clothes.
Music: At Moved by Music, we also believe in the importance of integrating music in the massage to maximize the benefits. The therapist will play music during the massage; it can be requested by the client as well.
Sound Bowls: The therapist will also integrate sound bowls during the massage. This unique form of sound massage works by applying resonance stimulation to the body’s biological oscillators, which helps to enhance blood and lymph flow while significantly decreasing muscle tension. Ultimately, these vibrations serve to strengthen the body’s inherent healing forces and improve overall vital processes. (Hess 2013).
