SWEDISH MASSAGE: Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by
stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used
to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Therapists use a combination of kneading,
rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements, with the application of oil
or lotion, to reduce friction on the skin.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE: Deep tissue massage uses several advanced techniques to affect the sub-layer of musculature
and fascia. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces
inflammation-related pain. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques.
HOT STONE THERAPY ($): Stones of all shapes and sizes and varying temperatures are used during hot stone
massage therapy to elicit physical healing, mental relaxation, and a spiritual connection
to Earth's energy. Stones are placed in varying positions on the body for energy balancing
or may be used by the therapist for specific trigger-point work.
Add $10 to total of any session lasting 60 minutes.
NEUROMUSCULAR THERAPY: This comprehensive program of soft-tissue manipulation balances the body’s central
nervous system with the musculoskeletal system. The goal is to help relieve pain and
dysfunction by understanding and alleviating the underlying cause. Neuromuscular therapy
is used to locate and release spasms and hypercontraction in the tissue, eliminate
trigger points that cause referred pain, rebuild the strength of injured tissues,
assist venous and lymphatic flow, and restore postural alignment, proper biomechanics,
and flexibility to the tissues.
TRIGGER POINT THERAPY: Trigger point myotherapy is a noninvasive therapeutic modality for the relief and
control of myofascial pain and dysfunction. Treatment consists of trigger point compression,
myomassage, passive stretching, and a regime of corrective exercises. Trigger point
myotherapy relies heavily on client-therapist interaction, including verbal and nonverbal
elements.
PRENATAL/PREGNANCY THERAPY: Prenatal massage uses many methods of massage and somatic therapies which safely alleviate
strain and discomfort prenatally, during labor, and postpartum. Prenatal therapy reduces
pregnancy discomforts and enhances the physiological and emotional well-being of both
mother and fetus.
RAINDROP/AROMATHERAPY ($): Raindrop Therapy can be added to any massage and consists of directly applying essential
oils to the spine. Raindrop and Aromatherapy can greatly improve whole body function
and can assist in chronic pain relief, relaxation, and overall well-being. These remedies
have, throughout history, been used to detoxify, revitalize, and oxygenate the body.
These applications have also been used to cleanse, clear, and stimulate energy meridians
and centers, such as chakras and other subtle energy fields surrounding our body.
