- Swedish *
Most common form of massage. Involved with flowing movements
to relax
the recipient and ease aches and pain.
- Deep Tissue * Is
designed to work deeply into the muscles and through the fascia to
release
chronically shortened/tense muscles. Releases toxic buildup and allows
nutrients to feed the muscles
- Reflexology * Work
on
the hands, feet, ears, and/or the abdomen that stimulated corresponding
areas of the body.
- Foot & Hand Massage *
Work the tension out of your hands and feet after a long day. We often
mix reflexology into our foot and hand massages and vice versa by
default we work what we encounter given available time.
- Prenatal * Massage
can
help with circulation, flexibility, mood, reduce stress and assist with
the general health of mother and
baby.
- Trigger
Point Therapy * Neuromuscular Therapy/Reeducation
similar to Deep Tissue, but works on
specific points. Unlike Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Therapy may require
light
pressure to be effective or get a pain response. This restores the
nerve
pathways, releases trigger points, and works the sources of referred
pain.
- Myofascial
Release * (Connective
tissue work) Designed to release adhesions and stretch the fascia
(connective tissue) that connects the skin, muscles, bones, organs and
other
body structures.
- Stretching *
Stretching
and muscle energy techniques (PNF Stretching) are used to lengthen and
reeducate muscles and can relieve the pain caused by the extra tension.
- Acupressure
*
- Hot Stone * Basalt
stones are heated and used to deeply penetrate into and relax the
muscles. Often less pressure is needed, but a longer session time is
required.
- Couples Massage *
You and your Spouse or Friend can have a massage at the same time (Note
If you want them in the same room limited times are available for a
charge)
- Shadow/Tandem Massage *
Have 4 hands massaging you at the same time. This is an ultimate
experience which is overwhelming for some people
- Infant * Studies
show
accelerated development and improved functions and mood in infants who
get
massage
- Chair
Massage * A form of massage performed fully dressed. It is
typically short 5-20 minutes
in length. Often used for on site massages such as at an
event, park, or office. It is an effect form of massage when time
and/or
location is limited, but lacks the ability to fully work through many
issues.
- Sports
* Is performed different than most massage. Rather than working out
issues,
it helps the athlete warm up, get the blood flowing, and stretch out
before an
event. Stay warmed up
during an event. And cool down after an event. These are also performed
on
location.
- Rehabilitation
* Following an injury or after years of worsening problems massage is
used to
help recover from the problems that have developed. The methods used
include
many of the items listed on this page.
- Pain Reduction *
Massage
has been shown to reduce pain. It does this by restoring normal muscle
function, increasing flexibility and range of motion, and may be
effective
in increasing endorphins, the body's natural pain killers.
- Fibromialgia *
Massage has been shown to improve the clients response to fibromialgia.
A
lot depends on what works for each client. Typically lighter pressure
is
used if there is a risk of flair up. Firm pressure can typically used
to the
edge of tolerance to give the client several days of reduced pain. This
time
varies, but may get longer with continued treatments.
- Onsite/Outcall(*)*
Many services are available on a location that is provided by you
the client. Please remember that all services are performed by a
licensed professional please do not
ask for "more" or "happy..."
- Improved general health and
Wellbeing * Massage
can be effective in relieving stress, reducing blood pressure, improved
healing, enhancing immune system function, increasing blood
circulation,
reducing stress, and improving mood.
