Massage

Custom & Deep Tissue Massage — Long and short fluid strokes are used with light to medium pressure to help induce stress relief, relaxation, and increased circulation/blood flow.

Deep Tissue — Similar to Swedish massage, the technique uses deeper pressure and strokes are slowed to alleviate sore, stiff, or achy muscles.

Trigger Point — Used to target specific areas of pain with deeper, more focused manipulation,  usually with elbows, thumbs, and forearms, trigger point therapy is proven to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

Deep Tissue With Moist Heat — Utilizing heated stones to massage and relax muscles, this type is proven to melt tension and increase relaxation.

Prenatal — Tailored to expecting mothers, prenatal massage techniques employ the use of pillows while the client lies on her side, delivering a safer and more comfortable session. Deep pressure is not advised for this massage. A doctor’s note is required if pregnancy is or was considered high risk at any point. Available to expectant mothers in their second and third trimesters.

Lymphatic Drainage — Rhythmic strokes are used in a very specific pattern to move swelling away from affected areas of the body, helping with allergy relief, post-surgery recovery, post-cancer treatments, and serves to relieve chronic pain.

Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy — Techniques that target specific muscle groups to achieve postural correction and help treat ailments involving soft tissue. Often involves active engagement from the client to isolate and relieve chronically tight muscles. Great to help treat soft tissue ailments, sports injuries, limited range of motion and chronic pain.

Cupping Therapy — Can be added to any session. A great addition to a relaxing massage with long gliding strokes with cups. Can be added to neuromuscular and deep tissue sessions to help break up scar tissue, restore range of motion, and relieve chronically tight muscles. Great for post surgical recovery (once incisions are completely healed and with clearance for massage from a doctor) and sports therapy. (Disclaimer: Cupping can leave dark, circular marks that last about 3-7 days)

Intra-oral TMJ — Can be added to a neuromuscular session. Massage inside of the mouth with gloves to help release chronically tight jaw muscles that are associated with TMJ, teeth grinding, and stress related jaw pain.

Ice Massage — Great addition to any massage to help break up scar tissue and restore range of motion from old injuries or chronically tight muscles.
