massage therapy & reflexology

 

 

 

What to Expect

Massage therapy can be used alone or as a complement to traditional medical treatment. 

 

 

  • Your therapist will perform a health screen to learn about your current lifestyle, medical conditions, stress and reasons for massage.  All information gathered is strictly confidential.
  • For the massage, you will be asked to remove clothing to your comfort level.  The only part of your body that is undraped is the part being massaged.
  • A full session takes approximately one hour.
  • You are encouraged to drink plenty of water to help flush the body of toxins. 

 

 

 

Massage Therapists

 

Kathy Shull, CMT

Kathy is a graduate of the Baltimore School of Massage.  Her training includes Swedish, deep tissue, sports and myofascial massage.  Her favorite areas of concentration are prenatal and postnatal massage, geriatric massage and specific injury recovery.  Other specific disorders she focuses on are fibromyalgia, cancer (with physician’s release), arthritis, and stress.  Kathy uses warm stones and other spa related therapies to achieve muscular and mental relaxation. 

 

 

Richard Centola, LMT

Rich graduated from the Alternative Conjunction Clinic and School of Massage Therapy.  He practices Swedish, deep tissue, sports, rejuvenation, myofascial, release and prenatal massage, as well as raindrop therapy.  He is nationally certified by NCBTMB and holds a license in massage therapy in Florida.  Rich is an avid runner, and has a special interest in sports massage.  He has served on massage teams for many events including the Baltimore Marathon and the MS 150 Cycle Tour. 

 

Rich is now offering reflexology, an ancient tradition that uses thumb and finger pressure on points and areas of the feet to release blockages throughout the body and reestablish balance.  Benefits include relaxation, increased blood supply and unblocked nerve impulses.

 

 

Steve Ayton, CMT

Steve, a graduate of the PA Myotherapy Institute, joined the YWCA staff in 2007.  He is trained in Swedish techniques and deep tissue myofacial release. Steve pulls from all his resources to give his clients a massage that is need-specific.  Stress reduction and relaxation as well as sports massage and prenatal massage are all within his scope of practice.

 

Some YWCA members may remember Steve from the early 90’s, when he ran the YWCA junior and senior floor hockey leagues. The same passion and dedication he had then has carried on into his career as a massage therapist. Upon graduating massage school in November 2006, Steve has worked as a massage therapist at Gettysburg College.
