Deep Tissue
For chronic and acute injuries. We target muscles with deep manipulation to release tension and decrease pain.
Swedish/Relaxation
Firm but gentle pressure is used to ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility, and create a sense of relaxation.
Trigger Point
This type of massage helps with long-term, chronic pain. It loosens microscopic muscle spasms (knots) that can send pain throughout the body. Direct pressure is used on specific areas of concern.
Myofascial
The goal of this technique is to encourage healing and better movement. The practitioner applies gentle, directional pressure to the restricted fascia to alleviate pain and adhesions resulting in less restricted movement.
Sports
Stretching, warming, and flushing strokes are used pre- and post-event to help enhance performance.
Muscle Release Technique
Combines compression, extension, movement, and breathing for relief of pain. This method can aid in lengthening muscles and restoring muscle memory.
Scar Tissue
Cross-fiber friction and myofascial work help release and realign scar tissue.
Oncology
A specially-trained therapist provides massage to clients during or after cancer treatment. We design a session with your input, considering side effects from treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, pain medications, surgery, and your level of comfort.
Lymphatic Fluid Balancing
This gentle bodywork aids the movement of excess lymphatic fluid out of the body. This can be useful for swelling resulting from lymph node removal, long-term recovery, and other issues. Lymphatic massage can be a standalone session or added as part of a regular massage.
Kinesio-Taping
With a specialized tape and techniques, your therapist can reduce muscle fatigue, inflammation, and pain, while helping you correct posture and protect muscles from further injury.
