Please allow me to introduce Heather Russo, my guest therapist at ROOTS Massage on Wednesdays! Heather and I met in massage school in 2016 and have been friends and trade partners ever since. She works at one of Austin’s most upscale spas, so I know you will be in good hands…
BIO
My name is Heather Russo. I am an Austin native, the mother of three children, and a lifelong martial arts student and teacher. With a family of athletes came a lot of aches and pains, so I began my journey into massage therapy. As a Tae Kwon Do Master and 4th-degree black belt, I understand the need for touch for comfort and pain relief. I use a gentle touch to calm the nervous system and for deep access to muscles contracted and tight from pain.
Being a mom, I know the joys … and the discomforts ….of pregnancy and the postpartum period. Providing relief to an expecting mom is one of my favorite things about massage!
SERVICES
Deep Tissue and Swedish Fusion Massage
The best of both worlds …. this massage blends the deeper therapeutic techniques of a deep tissue massage with the long, broad, relaxing strokes of a swedish massage.
- 60 min Fusion $100
- 90 min Fusion $120
Swedish Massage
A whole-body massage characterized by long broad strokes. The pressure can be light, medium or deep, and can vary during the course of the massage depending on the client’s request. Essential oils are incorporated according to the goals of the massage. This massage is popular for relaxation, but is actually very therapeutic, as it calms the nervous system and addresses the body as an integrative system. Systemic relaxation is the first step in healing.
- 60 min Swedish $95
- 90 min Swedish $115
Prenatal or Postpartum Massage
Let’s get you more comfortable, mama! A customized session geared toward easing the strain of carrying a baby. We will work together to identify structural imbalances, relieve the pain and tension they cause, and find positions of greater comfort for daily life. I safely address low back pain, leg pain, neck strain, headaches, and swelling in the legs and feet. Massage will not only help you feel more like yourself in your body again, but it will decrease the stress often experienced by expectant mothers and add another layer of emotional support. Postpartum massage will address the specific physiological challenges experienced by mothers after the birthing process (and allow mom to take a short break from baby care and receive a little much-needed nurturing herself!)
