Relaxation And Therapeutic Massage

Swedish Massage Therapy techniques are used in a continuum of care approach…

Techniques such as gliding strokes, kneading, compression, shaking and rocking; and more specific treatment tools, like trigger point or deep tissue massage, are utilized to help you find relief whether your goals are simple stress and pain relief or addressing more complex conditions.

Myofascial Release

Slow and gentle application of sustained pressure into fascial restrictions, reducing pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, bones and organs causing pain and dysfunction…

This technique uses little or no oil to engage the fascia, which is the tough connective tissue enveloping the muscles and other structures in the body, from the superficial down to the deep levels. It is a profoundly therapeutic and relaxing treatment and is usually integrated into the massage.

Jade Stone Massage

A hot/cold stone treatment using nephrite jade stones, giving a gentle, relaxing, yet deeply cleansing and rejuvenating therapeutic treatment…

This may be a 60 or 90 minute treatment, or if you would prefer, we could integrate some jade work into your regular massage treatment, to help increase circulation and reduce inflammation in specific areas.

IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft-Tissue Manipulation)

By breaking down fascial restrictions and causing an increase of hydration and blood circulation, IASTM massage allow for a greater musculoskeletal balance and function…

Techniques using instruments made of steel are effective for increasing limited range of motion and are useful additions to treatment for a wide range of dysfunctions.

Cupping Massage

Cupping Massage brings the ancient art of cupping into the modern day massage practice…

Using silicone cups, cupping massage allows for deeper work to remove fascial restrictions, increasing lubrication between layers of fascia, thus promoting increased range of motion and healing. Cupping is beneficial for plantar fasciitis, restless leg syndrome, scar tissue release, boosting the immune system, increasing circulation, relieving digestive and menstrual discomfort, respiratory congestion and reducing high blood pressure. It has a sedating effect on the nervous system and can be integrated easily into any massage treatment.
