Swedish Massage
The goal of Swedish massage is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Lotion is often used to reduce friction and stimulate the skin. Swedish massage is exceptional for increasing the blood oxygen levels, decreasing muscle toxins, and improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
Hot Stone
Hot stone therapy melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness, and increases circulation and metabolism. The massage therapist incorporates smooth, water-heated stones at key points on the body to allow for deeper relaxation of the muscles. Our professional massage therapist incorporates a customized massage with the use of hot stones to create a healing and relaxing experience. Hot stone therapy is gaining popularity for its ability to provide deeper muscle and tissue relaxation, which in turn releases more toxins and improves circulation. The hot stone is ideal for muscular aches, back and neck pain, poor circulation, rheumatic and arthritic conditions and fibromyalgia.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage but is used to target knots and release chronic muscle tension. Other benefits include reducing inflammation and helping eliminate scar tissue. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia. Deep tissue massage uses strokes across the grain of the muscles, not with the grain as in Swedish massage. The more intense movements and techniques, such as deep finger pressure may be slightly uncomfortable and cause soreness that lasts a couple of days before resulting in desired relaxation and pain relief.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend warriors. The particulars of the massage are specific to the athlete's sport of choice and are often focused on a particular troublesome area like a knee or shoulder. Aspects of massage are gaining popularity as useful components in a balanced training regimen. Sports massage can be used as a means to enhance pre-event preparation and reduce recovery time for maximum performance during training or after an event. Athletes have discovered that specially designed massage promotes flexibility, removes fatigue, improves endurance, helps prevent injuries, and prepares them to compete at their absolute best.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point work is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. In this type of massage the recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort. The result of trigger point massage is the elimination of toxins in the muscles and the release of energizing endorphins. Patients often find a significant decrease in pain after just one treatment.
Reflexology
Reflexology focuses solely on the hands and feet. Originally developed as "zone therapy" in the early 20th century, reflexology uses specifically targeted points on the extremities to send signals to the brain and balance the nervous system. The therapist stretches and moves the hands and feet, applying pressure on reflex areas that correspond to specific organs and other parts of the body. Endorphins are released throughout the entire body, reducing stress and returning the body to equilibrium. Reflexology has been known to provide relief from ailments such as tension headaches, arthritis, digestive issues and back pain.
Prenatal and Pregnancy
Massage during pregnancy offers undeniable physical benefits. Our massage therapists work to stimulate the expecting mother's lymphatic system, increasing immunity and the removal of excess toxins, while also stabilizing hormonal levels and balancing the glandular system. Our therapists also work to relieve the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches, joint pain, and edema. Hormonal changes can cause depression and anxiety during pregnancy, which is why many expecting mothers can find relief with our massage services. Throughout each session, our therapists use a special body support cushion to ensure comfort and proper positioning.
