Swedish Massage: this is the modality most people envision when they think of a relaxing full-body massage. Light to medium pressure is applied with long, gliding strokes and gentle kneading. Benefits include overall relaxation and stress reduction.

Deep Tissue Massage: for the relief of chronic pain or tension in specific areas. This modality focuses on deeper layers of muscle and fascia than Swedish Massage. Specific techniques and strokes are used to help relieve pain and restore function in the areas of complaint. Can be a stand-alone treatment or incorporated into a full-body massage.

Trigger Point Therapy: helps alleviate pain and dysfunction through cycles of targeted, sustained pressure on specific “knots” within muscle tissue. Trigger points throughout the body can refer pain to seemingly unrelated areas–for example, symptoms that mimic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are often caused by Trigger Points in the neck. Clients actively participate in this therapy, frequently communicating “that’s the spot!”

Sports Massage: athletes can increase flexibility and function while decreasing recovery time and soreness with regularly scheduled Sports Massage. Sessions meet the needs of the individual by focusing on the muscles most used in your activity of choice.

Pregnancy Massage: This massage can range from light to deep pressure, while helping to relieve stress. Regular massage during pregnancy makes for an easier labor.
