Clinical Massage (Deep Tissue)
Deep tissue massage focuses on deep layers of muscle tissue and trigger points to relieve chronic muscular tension, spasms, and cramping. A trigger point is a painful, irritated area in the muscle. The therapist applies slow strokes and firm pressure, directing fingers, knuckles, thumbs, elbows, and hot stones to the root of the problem. Sessions often target specific problem areas, such as:
•
Headache and TMJ Disorder
•
Upper/Lower back and sciatic problems
•
Tendonitis
•
Repetitive Stress Syndrome
Sports Massage
Provides therapeutic help for the unique physical and biomechanical needs of athletes and others involved in physical activity. It is similar to the Swedish Deep Tissue and La Stone techniques, yet involves more pressure, rubbing and stretching. Sessions can focus on pre-event preparation or post-event recovery.

Myofascial Therapy
Myofascial comes from the Latin words "myo" for muscle and "fascia" for band. The fascia is a thick elastic connective tissue in and about the muscles, bones, blood vessels and nerves of your body. The fascia spreads throughout the body in a 3-dimensional web which travels head-to-toe uninterrupted and acts as a shock absorber in the body.
In healthy condition, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration with the ability to stretch and move without restriction. Physical trauma, scarring, stress, repetitive micro trauma, poor posture or inflammation cause the fascia to lose its pliability and this causes restriction and tension to the rest of the body. This myofascial restriction or tension does not show on any of the standard tests done today such as MRI, CAT Scan, EMG, X-Ray, etc. This myofascial restriction or tension is the underlying cause of most chronic pain problems that have not responded to traditional medical or surgical intervention.
La Stone Therapy
"The Original Hot Stone Massage." A luxurious and relaxing massage that combines deep heat and cold therapy. Smooth Basalt Lava stones are heated, while polished marble stones are iced and both are incorporated into the massage. The combination of the heat and cold, with the pressure of the strokes, will simultaneously relax and stimulate the muscles.
Swedish Relaxation Massage

Hypnotherapy
Are you affected by stress or anxiety? Do you sometimes have trouble sleeping, or do you suffer from a lack of self-esteem, confidence, or motivation? Perhaps you’d like to accomplish or change something in your life. Maybe you want to lose weight or quit smoking. Perhaps you want to become a better public speaker or overcome a fear of heights?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it is highly likely that hypnotherapy can help. Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to relax the everyday or conscious mind so that we may access the unconscious mind. This enables the therapist and the client to find the source of issues the client is not consciously aware of.

"I have been going to Anna Gammal for approximately 8 years now. I suffer from chronic neck pain for which Anna and her staff are able to provide relief. Anna has an incredible sense of the cause for the discomfort and I leave feeling like a new person. I often refer to her as "my angel" because she has improved my comfort level tremendously.
Any time I have any other area bothering me ... knee, foot, back ... Anna miraculously works her magic and I'm back to normal.
Unfortunately, my neck problem is a musculoskeletal problem that will never go away, but I can count on Body n Beyond to improve my day-to-day life with their excellent treatment."
