Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is extremely effective because it focuses on stretching the fascia (the 3 dimensional web of connective tissue which surrounds and supports the body's muscle, bones, nerves and organs) Deep tissue massage relaxes layer by layer, the connective tissues and muscles resulting in a change to create a unique freedom of movement by releasing the facial adhesion's, as well as any chronic muscle contracture. For those who have suffered injuries, scar tissue forms in muscles and can result in chronic acute inflammation and repetitive motions. Our expertly trained therapists use fingers, thumbs, fists and forearms to stretch muscles and fascia layers
Hot Stone Massage
90 minutes
Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. Your massage therapist places the hot stones on specific points on your body and may also hold the stones while giving the massage. The localized heat and weight of the stones warm and relax muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort. People often describe hot stone massage as comforting and deeply relaxing. The warmth is soothing for people who tend to feel chilly. 90 minutes is the standard time to achieve the benefits of a hot stone massage.
Trigger Point
​
The Body is a matrix of intertwined muscles, joints and tendons. Trigger point massage therapy taps into the body's internal web of muscles and tissues to unlock common chronic and injury related pains caused by tension and stress. Continuous or repetitive movement can irritate tissue, which over time can lead to the development of trigger points. Ultimately, when tissues remain in a contracted state for long periods of time they can harden and create the little nodules that your therapist can pulsate and feel for during a trigger point massage. Trigger point therapy helps reduce pain, relive, tension. and promote a better range of motion. Its also great to increase circulation and help muscles regain full function.
Mommy To Be Massage
Prenatal massage has many benefits for both mother and baby. It can reduce stress, tension and anxiety, relieve muscle and joint pain, reduce swelling , strengthen the immune system and improve digestion. Prenatal massage is performed basically the same as a regular massage just with a few changes. After the first trimester you will no longer lie face down,this is to avoid unwanted pressure on the abdomen and stress on the uterine ligaments. Also depending upon what week you are in we will work briefly with you lying on your back and shifted to the left side, or later in pregnancy in a semi reclined position. This is to avoid compression of the vena cava. As always if there are any special concerns or unique instructions from your doctor we factor those in as well.
Thai Massage
Thai massage is based on an energetic paradigm of the human body and mind. In this tradition, energy is thought to travel on pathways, called sen, throughout the body. The specific points of energy along those pathways are called nadis. Through movement and massage components, the goal in Thai massage is to ensure energy is flowing freely along these pathways as a means for wellness. Thai massage respects the body's limits, while encouraging clients to reach their edge of flexibility, but never beyond. Thai massage incorporates acupressure, massage, and passive-assisted stretching, where therapists help clients move into their stretch. The work is purposely slow as the therapist guides clients through the movements, being ever mindful of their physical limitations. Some say the combination of movements and focused awareness during a Thai massage session creates what looks like a slow, flowing dance between practitioner and client.
Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu is a form of massage that originated in Japan and traditional Chinese medicine, and has been widely practiced around the world since the 1970s. Shiatsu means “finger pressure,” which describes the technique. In shiatsu therapy, pressure with thumbs, hands, elbows, knees or feet is applied to pressure points on the body. This form of massage also focuses on rotating and stretching limbs, joints, and pressure points, or meridians, as they’re called in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The theory behind shiatsu is that our bodies are made up of energy, called qi, and that energy gets blocked and causes suffering. Shiatsu massage helps remove the blockages by realigning meridian points, which balances the qi and eases the body and mind. When one balances qi, or vital energy, healing occurs in the body. The nervous and immune systems are both stimulated by applying pressure to the meridians, providing relief for both body and mind. Shiatsu also restores the circulatory system, improving blood flow throughout the body.
Couples Massage
