Swedish

Swedish massage incorporates long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the superficial layers of the muscles, in combination with active and passive movements of the joints.

Sports

Sports massage focuses on muscle systems in relation to a particular sport, assists training, helps prevent pre/post exercise injuries and aids in rest, recovery and healing.

Deep Tissue

Deep tissue massage releases chronic patterns of tension embedded in the body by using slow strokes and deep finger pressure on tight or contracted areas. This technique is helpful for those dealing with whiplash, lower back pain, neck pain and degenerative diseases.

Reflexology

Reflexology uses a system of direct, applied pressure to specific points in the hands and feet in order to manipulate and strengthen corresponding reflex areas in the body.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release incorporates a combination of long strokes, gentle traction, pressure, positioning and stretching to rebalance the body and relieve and release tension held in the muscles and the fascia.

Prenatal/Postpartum

Prenatal massage relieves the stresses that can result from the physical and mental changes that occur during pregnancy; specifically, aching of the back, neck, hips, legs and weight–bearing joints. Postpartum massage helps restore the body to pre-pregnancy condition and nurtures the new mom.

Lymphatic Drainage

A gentle, non–invasive form of massage that stimulates the lymphatic system, boosts the immune system, and directs waste and fluid back into the body's drainage system.

Cranio–Sacral Head

A gentle massage that enhances the rhythmic flow of spinal fluid. Applying manual pressure to the skull helps to restore proper flow to the cranio-sacral system and relaxes the body and mind.

Acupressure

A Chinese technique that uses finger pressure on specific points along the body and employs the principles of energy flow (chi) through the 14 meridians (energy channels) of the body. Used to treat an ailment (for example: tension, stress, aches, pains, menstrual cramps, and arthritis) or for general preventative health care.

Shiatsu

A Japanese technique that uses finger-pressure and stretching on special points along the body to treat an ailment. Incorporates the principles of energy flow (chi) through the 14 meridians (energy channels) of the body. Wear loose clothing.

Thai

Uses the therapist's body weight to compress and stretch the muscular-skeletal system on a firm mat on the floor. This dynamic stretching system creates energy, releasing blockages and promotes relaxation. Wear loose clothing.
