Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing “trigger points” in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These “knots” are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative. Ending with a swedish massage will help ease your muscles from the trigger point therapy, letting you leave your session relaxed and rejuvenated.
Developed by Aaron Mattes, Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a dynamic system for improving your flexibility and overall well-being. As you probably already know, stretching your muscles not only reduces your chance of injury, but also strengthens your tendons and improves your circulation.
A Japanese therapeutic technique that involves applying gentle pressure to specific points along the body’s meridians (energy pathways) using fingers, thumbs, palms and sometimes elbows to deliver a deeper pressure. It aims to balance the body’s energy, relieve tension, and promote overall well-being. Shiatsu combines acupressure, stretching, and rhythmic movements to improve circulation, enhance flexibility, reduce stress, and alleviate pain. Typically performed with the client fully clothed on a mat, this holistic therapy helps restore balance, increase energy, and promote relaxation and healing.
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Mixed Myofascial therapy and massage combines the benefits of myofascial release and traditional massage techniques to provide a comprehensive treatment for muscle tension, pain, and injury. This therapy targets both the fascia (connective tissue) and muscles, using a combination of gentle pressure, stretching, and deeper massage to release restrictions, improve circulation, and restore flexibility. It’s an effective approach for relieving chronic pain, enhancing mobility, and promoting overall relaxation and healing.
Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Swedish Massage are combined in this therapeutic session to address muscle tension, pain, and improve flexibility. Trigger Point Therapy focuses on releasing tight knots in muscles that cause pain while myofascial release targets the fascia to alleviate restrictions and improve movement. Swedish massage provides relaxation through long, soothing strokes to improve circulation and reduce stress. By blending these techniques, the treatment targets both deep muscle tension and surface relaxation, promoting overall healing, pain relief, and improved mobility.
