Panacea Massage Therapy
Glenn K. Smith
Licensed Massage Therapist
“Massage is like a guided tour of your own body— a path to physical and personal awareness. My goal as a therapist is to balance steady strength with sensitivity in order to provide a massage that quiets the mind and allows the body to forget the physical demands of daily life.”
Panacea Massage offers a complete range of therapeutic massage techniques: for relaxation and stress reduction, for the treatment of acute and chronic muscular conditions, to increase flexibility, stimulate circulation, and help prevent sports injuries. My treatments are a combination of the best of Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular, Swedish, Sports Massage, and Stretching. I also have experience with Pregnancy Massage, and Specific Injury Treatments.

Pure Indulgence
Swedish Massage: consisting of 5 basic strokes— long (effleurage), kneading (petrissage), friction, tapping (tapotement) and vibration— is the underlying format used in conjunction with all other modalities at Panacea. Its purpose is to relieve stress, improve circulation, aid in digestion and elimination, improve the assimilation of nutrients into tissues and remove toxins and waste
Deep Tissue Massage: releases tension and allows muscle tissue and fascia to stretch normally while helping to restore full range of motion.
Neuromuscular Massage: a specific pattern of thumb strokes over a muscle area used for injury treatment and postural rebalancing.
Sports Massage: techniques include stretching to increase athletic flexibility, endurance and comfort. Useful in preventing injury and accelerating recovery after an event.
Pregnancy Massage: relieves low back pain, edema, stress and increases over-all well being.
Specific Injury Treatment: improves circulation in congested or avascular (joint) tissues; releases painful muscle spasms through assisted and resisted stretches and exercises, trigger point therapy and ice massage.
Glenn is an active professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association, is licensed in New Hampshire and has practiced massage therapy for over seventeen years in Aspen, Martha’s Vineyard and the Seacoast area.
