MASSAGE THERAPY

 Swedish/Relaxation
An oil massage using long, flowing strokes creating deep relaxation. Swedish massage using light to medium pressure utilizing long smooth strokes and kneading to manipulate superficial muscle layers, reduce tension, soothe sore muscles and increase blood and lymph circulation to promote total physical and mental relaxation.

Prenatal/Pregnancy
Gentle massage and somatic therapies are performed by a specialist to alleviate common discomforts related to pregnancy. Helps labor preparation and makes postpartum transition less difficult.  We can use "side line" with pregnancy pillows, The Body Cushion and reclining tables to accommodate our clients during Prenatal massage.  (Deep tissue, Reflexology and Aromatherapy are contraindicated).

Pre/Post Sports Massage
Pre-sports massage is designed to stimulate, warm-up and loosen the muscles before an event. Post-sports massage is a warm-down treatment to re tone the body following exertion in an athletic event. The therapist may use ice, stretching, and gentle rocking & muscle energy techniques to reduce inflammation and lactic acid build-up. Slow deep movements are used to manipulate specific muscle joint groups to bring body to peak performance.

Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger-points are hypersensitive spots in the muscle tissue. Trigger-points have the ability to "refer" pain to other parts of the body, sometimes quite distant from the trigger-point itself. Latent trigger-points lie dormant for years after the initial trauma, ready for stress, either physical or emotional, to set them off. Once a trigger-point is found, the therapist applies pressure; the sensation produced is invariably one of pain and then relief as the trigger-point releases grip on afflicted muscle, years of tension and pain melt away.

*Deep Tissue
Focuses on areas where hyper-tonicity or scar tissue has developed. Firm, steady, deep pressure is applied slowly to specific points or constricted areas.  Therapists may use trigger point, cross-fiber friction and stretching to accomplish muscle and connective tissue release.

INTEGRATIVE BODYWORK

TCM Cupping

 Its function is to warm the body, move Qi (vital energy or life force) and move blood in the meridians, clears dampness from the body, reduces pain and swelling, brings blood stagnation and inflammation to the surface and rids body of any generally toxic elements.

Craniosacral Therapy
Uses gentle technique/energy work. Seldom does the therapist apply pressure that exceeds five grams. CranioSacral treats restrictions in connective tissue using subtle traction or positioning. Light pressure is applied to the face, head and low back to free the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, allowing connective tissue to release and rebalance itself. 

Acupressure
An ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin along specific meridian channels throughout the body.

Reflexology
An ancient therapy involving manipulation fo specific reflex points. By applying pressure to a certain area of the foot, hand or ear, an organ or body part is affected in positive ways. This relaxing treatment can be integrated into any massage.

*We recommend 1 1/2 or 2 hour session for these services.

*Orthopedic
Combines some elements of sports and medical massage, integrating up to 10 different modalities to treat soft tissue pain and injury. Focuses on areas where hyper-tonicity or scar tissue has developed. Firm, steady pressure is applied slowly to specific points or constricted areas.  Therapists may use Structural Integration (aka Rolfing), Myofascial Release, Trigger Point, Neuromuscular (ART, PNF), and Cross Fiber Friction Techniques to release adhesions.

*Myofascial Release
Uses a three-dimensional application of sustained pressure and movement into the connective tissue/facial system. Upon locating an area of facial tension, gentler pressure is applied in the direction of the restriction, relieving dysfunction in the body.

*Shiatsu
Firm pressure is applied with the finger, palm, elbow or knee to specific acupressure points along energy meridians to release stagnation and to facilitate the flow of Qi energy.

*Tui Na
This Chinese system uses pushing "Tui," squeezing "Na," oscillating and pressure techniques on specific acupressure points and channels to address disharmonies and stagnation in the body.

*Thai Yoga
Rhythmic pressure is applied with the palms, thumbs, feet and knees to balance the flow of energy. The patterns of gentle rocking, rhythmic compression and deep stretching ease the client into a deeply relaxed state while increasing flexibility.
