Services
Every client is unique. And each client deserves an exceptional massage session based on their need.
Swedish
Classic style of massage used for relaxation, and pain reduction. Combines gliding strokes with kneading, stretching and friction to increase circulation of blood and lymph and aid elimination of metabolic wastes.
Deep Tissue
A deeper type of therapeutic massage used to relieve chronic aches and pain and restore joint mobility. Specific strokes and firm pressure break up adhesions ("knots") and release fascial restrictions allowing muscles to lengthen and function more efficiently.
Stretching with Massage
As we age our joints will tighten, making the range of motion and flexibility more restricted. Stretching during a massage can improve flexibility and range of motion, keeping your joints more fluid and making them less prone to injury.
Trigger Point
Trigger Point therapy employs deep pressure to specific areas to relieve chronic pain in hyper-contract muscles, joints, and ligaments. Static pressure is applied intermittently for fixed periods of time with fixed intervals of release in between.
It’s a fact.
Every year, more people rely on therapeutic massage and bodywork for relaxation, pain relief, health concerns, rehabilitation, and general well-being.
Today, 39 million American adults –– more than one out of every six, get at least one massage each year.
