Massage Modalities
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue massage uses deep and slow movements that target deeper layers of muscle tissue to relieve chronic pain patterns and muscle tension. This treatment is recommended for those who like deep pressure and are accustomed to frequent massage treatments.
Swedish Massage
Swedish (relaxation) massage is a classical technique of muscle manipulation that eases aches and tension and improves blood and lymphatic circulation. This type of massage promotes relaxation and an overall sense of well-being.
Trigger Point
Trigger point therapy is a massage technique that focuses on alleviating pain and tension in hyperirritable spots (knots) known as trigger points.
Myofacial Release
Myofascial release is a type of bodywork that involves specialized stretching techniques to help release stiffness and target connective tissue layers (fascia)
Hot Stone
Hot stone massage uses heated basalt stones to relax the muscles and promote circulation. Hot stone massage is a complementary treatment to massage therapy and can be used solely as a relaxation treatment or more clinically where the stones are used to work into muscle knots and areas of tension.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is an alternative form of medicine and is also known as a traditional Chinese medicine. Cupping therapy uses plastic/silicone cups to create a suction which helps to soften tight muscle, lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to the body tissues and release and drain excess fluids and toxins.
