Swedish Massage

Uses firm but gentle pressure to ease muscle aches and tension, improve circulation, flexibility, and relaxation. Swedish massage employs five different movements: long gliding stokes, kneading individual muscles, friction, tapping, and vibration.

Deep Tissue

Focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is particularly helpful for areas that are chronically tense or sore. Strokes are similar to those used in Swedish massage therapy, but the movements are slower, the pressure deeper and more concentrated on areas of tension and pain.

Hot Stone

Smooth, flat stones are heated and placed on key points of the body. The warmth improves circulation and calms the nervous system, relaxing muscles which allow the therapist to work problem areas using less pressure. Hot stone massage is well suited for people who tend to feel chilly or prefer a lighter massage.

Myofascial Release

Soft tissue therapy intended for pain relief by increasing range of motion and balancing the body. Techniques are applied that include manual massage for stretching and releasing bonds between the connective tissues, muscles, and bones. The therapist may use knuckles, elbows, or other methods to slowly stretch the restricted tissue.

Pregnancy Massage

Massage therapy specifically tailored for the expectant mother's needs. You should wait until after the first trimester before getting a massage. Certain massage techniques (such as deep tissue) cannot be used and specific areas of the body should be avoided during pregnancy.

Integrated Massage

The best of all massages... Built just for you! A massage treatment customized to provide the maximum benefit possible using multiple styles that best suit your needs. May include modalities listed, plus...

Lymphatic Drainage

This modality may be utilized during injury rehabilitation. The intent is to assist the lymphatic system in its removal of excess fluids. The strokes employed are light and should not cause pain or disrupt healing. Lymphatic Drainage is often used to help reduce pain, swelling, and allow rehabilitation to progress at an accelerated rate.

Passive Release Technique

An indirect technique placing the body in a position of greatest "ease". It employs palpation of specific points to identify and monitor muscles causing discomfort. By holding the body in a position of ease for a minimum of thirty seconds, the pain-spasm cycle is interrupted, releasing muscle tension.

The "Quick Fix"

A spot massage for the neck that won't turn, the elbow that won't bend, etc. Quick, specific, and effective... This will get you on the road again.
