Swedish Massage

A Flowing, relaxing massage that addresses your entire body for full muscle relaxation. You will experience light to medium pressure in order to release toxins, increase oxygen levels, and improve circulation. In addition to being a great relaxation massage it's also therapeutic and a great addition to your overall health regimen.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deeper, healing pressure which helps alleviate pain and tension in the deeper muscles and connective tissues. Although some discomfort maybe felt, the benefits of this massage are reduction of muscle spasm, chronic tension and/or chronic pain and increased range of motion.

Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular Therapy is a system of soft tissue manipulation techniques that seek to balance the nervous system with the musculoskeletal system. Neuromuscular Therapy releases trigger points in muscles, and helps correct muscular imbalances that can cause pain and discomfort. Additionally, Neuromuscular Therapy uses soft tissue manipulations on tendons and other connective tissue to assist in muscle balance. Neuromuscular Therapy also addresses nerve pain caused by pressure from soft tissues including muscles, fascia, and tendons. Neuromuscular Therapy is effective in helping with conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD), Back pain, Neck pain, and Sciatica.

Sports Massage

If you are working out a log, planning a sporting event, or heavy workout, this is a great way to condition your muscles and help to avoid or reduce soreness and fatigue. Athletes of all skill levels can benefit from Sports massage.

Trigger Point Therapy

Your therapist may recommend this technique to help loosen and reduce knots in the belly of the muscle which are usually brought on over time and caused by excessive stress, hyper-extension, or injury. Relief will be achieved as the trigger points are released, resulting in increased blood flow and decreased lactic acid or toxins.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage therapy is one of the most relaxing, most luxurious massages you can get. Heated river stones are held in the massage therapist's hands and used to perform the massage strokes. The heated stones make stress and tension seem to melt away.
