Massages

Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a blend of light fast paced strokes that invite the muscles to relax.  This type of massage is good if you feel like you just need to unwind. The goal is to have your body maintain a stable internal environment which is known as Homeostasis.
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue massage is an intensive technique that targets the inner layers of muscles and connective tissues. It uses the blend of deep slow-paced strokes and direct, firm pressure to break up rigid bands of tissue (adhesions) that help to cause knots, tension and stress found in the muscles which can restrict movement, block blood flow and cause pain. It is tailored to your needs and pain threshold. We aim for that “oh that hurts so good” not “OMG that hurts, I surrender” feeling.  We focus on your troubled areas whether it’s tension in the neck and shoulders or problems with the back.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a blend of very deep slow-paced strokes designed to release the tension of the fascia or fibrous tissue that covers our muscles and organs. This is beneficial in enhancing circulation and opening flow from friction and tension.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy uses heated stones along with therapeutic massage strokes to release and melt away stress and tension throughout the whole body. This is beneficial in relaxing muscles, it boosts circulation and deeply reduces stress. It allows the therapist to access deeper tissue layers without the need for intense pressure, making it ideal for physical and mental restoration.
Reflexology
Reflexology is used to address imbalances in the body through specific points on the feet, hands and/or ears. We all have imbalances within the body and reflex points offer the opportunity to open up the various meridians. It is widely used to promote deep relaxation, relieve pain, manage stress, and support the body's natural healing processes. Lymphatic Massage Manual Lymphatic Drainage aka MLD is a gentle rhythmic massage technique that helps to stimulate the Lymphatic System and promote Lymphatic Circulation which helps your immune system. This massage is area specific. It is a type of manual therapy that can help to reduce swelling or inflammation of the tissues due to injury or illness and helps to improve the body's ability to fight infection.  Sports Massage A sports massage is a targeted bodywork therapy designed to prevent injury, enhance athletic performance, and speed up muscle recovery. Unlike general relaxation massages, it focuses on the specific muscles, tendons, and connective tissues heavily used in your sport or fitness routine. While originally developed for competitive athletes, sports massages are highly beneficial for anyone who exercises regularly or deals with chronic muscle tension. The practice is tailored around when you receive it and typically falls into three categories: Pre-Event: A fast paced, vigorous massage meant to warm up the muscles, boost circulation, and increase flexibility before activity. Post-Event: A restorative massage focused on flushing out metabolic waste, reducing muscle soreness (DOMS), and helping the body recover. Maintenance: Regularly scheduled sessions aimed at breaking up scar tissue and addressing physical imbalances before they cause injury.
