Sports Therapy Massage:
Focusing on athletes of all levels, from pros to those with an active lifestyle, this method of massage is a more focused version of deep tissue massage. Extensive education and training enable the massage therapist to target the root cause of physical pain so you can continue to exercise at the highest level possible. Learn More
Trigger Point Therapy:
This detailed methodology is extensive and uses mapping systems for the body that can be affected in painful referral patterns. When a trigger point occurs in a muscle it takes a skillful hand to detect it. When found, the therapist will hold pressure and the patient will feel a referral of pain in a specific location of the body often not located at the trigger point itself. A therapist educated in this therapy can offer a client relief from a pattern of pain that is chronic in ways that no other therapy can.
Acupressure and Reflexology:
In this form of massage a therapist uses sustained pressure on acupressure points to release blocked energy, promoting the flow of energy through the meridians for health and well-being. Often an acupressure point is located at the origin of a muscle, the belly of a muscle or where trigger points occur leading them to feel sore to the touch. In reflexology, different body parts correspond with different pressure points on the feet linked by neural pathways. Stimulation of these points on the feet leads to better function of the corresponding organs and body parts, as well as relaxation of the neural network.
Hot Stone Massage:
The use of heated smooth stones on the body to stimulate circulation in the muscles and connective tissue to alleviate pain and tension. In addition to these benefits, it has been shown to release stress and anxiety. Our massage therapist uses hot stones for every massage unless a client requests otherwise. Learn More
Prenatal Massage:
A specific type of massage that focuses on supporting pregnant women through various stages of pregnancy. The focus of these massages is to alleviate pain and increase comfort to support the changing body through the trimesters. A lot of training goes into this method of massage to make sure that it is safe, so it is advisable to only get massage from a massage therapist specifically trained in this style.
