ASHIATSU/BAREFOOT MASSAGE

Ashiatsu therapy is a unique barefoot massage technique using deep pressure from the massage therapist’s feet. In this treatment, the therapist stands on the table while holding onto bars over their head for support and stability.

CRANIOSACRAL

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system – comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.

CUPPING THERAPY

Cupping is the use of negative pressure for therapeutic purposes. Your therapist may use either silicone or glass cups. The cups are placed on the body and tissue is pulled into the cup. This vacuum increases circulation to the area which aids in reduction of pain and inflammation. Cupping enhances the manual therapies of deep tissue massage, lymphatic drainage, and myofascial release. The cups also allow for increased flow of stagnant energy. Cupping works wonders on chronic pain issues as well as acute injuries.

DEEP TISSUE

Deep tissue massage is a technique that is used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue following an injury and releases tension in muscles and connective tissues.

GUA SHA

For Gua Sha treatments the therapist moves a smooth sided tool along lubricated skin to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue to increase blood flow. Gua Sha decreases chronic pain, inflammation and promotes healing.

Joint Mobilization / Passive Stretching

Joint Mobility and Passive stretching are manual therapy techniques utilizing passive movements that are applied to joints, muscles or nerves with the intent to restore optimal motion, function, and/or to reduce pain

Light Pressure

A light touch can be felt deeply and is quite effective in supporting the nervous system as well as other body systems.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage relieves swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system. Lymphatic drainage massage involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels.

Myofascial Release

Fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds everything in the body, is connected to everything, has no start and no end, and plays a major role in the structure and global function of the human body. It is the most pervasive tissue that connects each and every cell of the human body together. Myofascial release is a very gentle, hands on approach to help balance the tension patterns of the body towards symmetry. As symmetry is restored, there is a reduction in the abnormal pressure on those areas to help decrease tone, spams, and ultimately pain.

Neuromuscular

Neuromuscular massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on the relationship between the nervous system and muscles. It aims to release tension and pain in the muscles by applying gentle, sustained pressure to specific areas. This technique is designed to help the body return to its natural state of balance and function.

Pre-Natal

For clients at any stage in their pregnancy. The LMT is trained in supporting you through the changes in your body and any pain or discomfort that comes along with it.

Passive Stretching

Passive stretching techniques explore range of motion while relaxed on the table. Your LMT supports you and guides you into the positions to improve muscular flexibility and range of motion.

Side Lying

For clients who can not lie facedown or on their backs. You will be supported by cushions and bolsters and can receive a full body massage.

Structural Integration

Structural Integration is a type of therapy that involves deep manipulation of the body’s connective tissues to help alleviate both muscular and psychological tension and to realign and restore balance in the body. This work improves alignment of the skeleton and muscles, balances the physical form, and makes it easier to move. By aligning the physical form, Structural Integration relieves the body from excessive gravitational forces and allows it to begin to heal itself.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is a popular type of massage therapy that aims to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, and improve overall well-being. It involves the use of long, flowing strokes, kneading, and gentle pressure to manipulate the soft tissues of the body, including the muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Balms and Liniments

We often use a variety of pain relieving balms and liniments to enhance your treatment and encourage accelerated healing.

Essential Oils

Essential oils are diffused into the massage space for added relaxation and an enhanced massage experience. They may also be added topically.

Heat packs and hot towels

Heat helps to allow for increased relaxation of the body and can aide the therapist by relaxing bound soft tissue. A heated table, a heat pack on the back, and feet wrapped in warmth is a wonderful and luxurious approach to calming the nervous system and bring the body and mind to the present moment.
