Deep Tissue Massage
A Deep tissue massage releases the chronic patterns of tension in the
body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on contracted areas,
either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia.
It can be used for specific work or full-body.
Swedish Massage
The most common form of massage, Swedish mainly relaxes the muscles and
eases aches and pains. Swedish massage is a system of long strokes, kneading
and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles,
combined with active and passive movements of the joints.
Sports Massage
For the athlete, sports massage techniques are utilized at all stages:
pre-event, post-event, during training and to expedite rehabilitation after
injury. This involves compression and a variety of stretching techniques.
Electro Therapeutic (ETPS)
This is a non-invasive therapy applying concentrated low frequency stimulation
to ancient acupuncture points, motor/trigger points and contracted motor bands.
Pregnancy Massage
Massage can relieve fatigue, enhance sleep and calm an active baby.
Depending upon where you are in the pregnancy the therapist may utilize
reflexology, Swedish massage or very light shiatsu.
Seated Massage (Coming Soon)
This is administered
while the client is clothed and seated in a specially designed chair. These chairs
most often slope forward allowing access to the neck, shoulders and large muscles
of the back. Seated massage usually lasts 10 - 30 minutes and is intended to help
you relax and improve circulation.
