Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. This form of Massage is highly effective for relieving areas of chronic stress. Due to the nature of the deeper tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to ensure a positive therapeutic response. Keep in mind, that some soreness may be experienced after the treatment. It is recommended that you drink plenty of water, to aid with the flushing and removal of released toxins, following your treatment.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Participating and competing in sports is harsh on the body, producing injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce muscle pain and swelling, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is highly effective in speeding rapid recovery after an injury occurs. Promoting the body's natural immune function, and encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness, Sports Massage allows the athlete to not only heal, but to prevent further injury.
Hot Stone Therapy
During a Hot Stone Therapy session, heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress deeply and effectively. As your stress is melted away, tension is relieved by gentle massage with the heated stones. The overall experience is very calming to the nervous system, creating an increased sense of wellbeing. This treatment is relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. Administering oils or lotion with an array of strokes, including rolling, kneading, and percussion, will create improved circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging creating relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility. Traditional Swedish Massage will enhance your feeling of well being.
Reflexology
Reflexology focuses on applying pressure to specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression. When your feet are happy, your whole body will smile.
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic massage is a style of massage therapy focused on treating painful conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body. Because orthopedic massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. It involves releasing tense muscles, helping to stretch and lengthen tight muscles and tendons, and decompress rigid joints. The goal is to restore full health to the soft tissues of your body, treating your specific conditions as well as improving your overall well-being.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body experiences stress due to dramatic physical, hormonal, and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps relieve discomfort caused by pregnancy related weight gain and postural imbalance. The benefits are profound, providing emotional support, improving breathing, and creating a sense of calm relaxation.
Infant Massage
Infant Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically to promote the healthy development of your infant. Caring human touch is crucial for a healthy thriving baby. The benefits of massaging your infant are potent and numerous, including improved growth, enhancing the development of the brain and nervous system. Infant massage has also been shown to improve the quality of a baby's sleep, as well as strengthening their immune system.
