Types of Massages Offered

Hot Stone Massage –

wonderfully relaxing, de-stressing and soothing, and relieving of tight muscles. It involves the use of black basalt stones which are warmed in hot water. It combines Swedish Massage and Shiatsu while the stones are placed on your body to offer deep, penetraing heat. This increases circulation, decreases stress and relaxes the muscles.

Essential Oils Aromatherapy Massage

a blend of using massage techniques, with a combination of essential oils, that have been specifically selected for a particular condition. It makes use of a number of different parts of a plant, flower, tree as well as fruit, by extracting the natural fragrance and making use of the oil extracted for a particular health problem.

Prenatal Massage

massage therapy specifically tailored for the expectant mother who needs to be positioned for maximal comfort and safety. This massage also helps to reduce stress, decrease swelling in all extremities and relieve muscle and joint pain.

Infant Massage & Infant Massage Instruction

massage for infants involving rubbing stimulation to enhance physical and cognitive development. This helps infants gain weight, decrease irritability and crying and improve sleep. Instruction to parents is also available by our experienced massage therapists.

Reflexology

this involves the application of pressure to the feet, hands, or ears with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques. It helps relieve tension and improve circulation. This technique is based on the philosophy that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that by manipulating these one can improve function of the area being focused on, thereby improving one’s health.

Deep Tissue Massage

this relieves tension in muscles and the connective tissue and is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes), and people who have sustained a physical injury. The session is quite intense and requires a great deal of focus by the practitioner.

Myofascial Release

a form of soft tissue manipulation to decrease pain and restriction of motion.This involves relaxing contracted muscles, increasing circulation and lymphatic drainage, and stimulating the stretch reflex of muscles and overlying fascia. People with pain from overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity, often respond well to this type of therapy. Myofacial release helps decrease the thickening of connective tissue and the resultant irritation and reflexive muscle tension. Direct myofascial release (or deep tissue work) method works through engaging the myofascial tissue restrictive barrier, the tissue is loaded with a constant force until tissue release occurs. Indirect release, on the other hand, involves a gentle stretch, with only a few grams of pressure, which allows the fascia to ‘unwind’ itself. The dysfunctional tissues are guided along the path of least resistance until free movement is achieved.
