Not sure what type of massage is right for you?

You don’t have to zero in on the perfect massage before booking an appointment. In fact, our experienced massage therapist often mix and match techniques to address your unique concerns. Our LMT’s may use a combination of techniques to help you relax, get rid of tight muscles and address other concerns.

Swedish Massage
 A classic go-to for major relaxation. Swedish massage is typically a full-body massage that uses a gentle touch. It is a great pick for people new to massage.  Swedish can help calm your nervous system and is a good avenue for encouraging a relaxed emotional state of mind which can directly impact your muscles and your mental health.

Neuromuscular/Trigger Point Therapy
A form of soft tissue massage that aims to alleviate chronic muscle and nervous system disorders and problems. It is mainly used to fix trigger points, circulation, nerve compression, postural problems and repetitive movement imbalances and injuries.

Cupping

An ancient healing therapy form of traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern medicine. People have practiced cupping therapy for thousands of years. Some people use cupping to ease pain and improve circulation, and also increase range of motion. A therapist places cups on your back, stomach, arms, legs or other parts of your body. Inside the cup, a vacuum force pulls skin upward. Suction from cupping increases blood flow and lymphatic fluid to the treatment area to stimulate the natural healing process. Some people theorize that cupping clears the pores and releases toxins.

Deep Tissue Massage
Gets into your muscles, helps to release tight muscles and tightness in your tendons.  It is good for people with injuries, general muscle tightness and chronic muscle pain.  Your muscles can get tight from stress or repeated use – even from something less active like sitting, driving or hunching over a laptop.

Hot Stone Massage

The heat from the stones penetrates into the muscles and helps loosen them up so the therapist can provide a deeper and more relaxing massage quicker. In addition to loosening muscles, the heat from the massage stones opens up blood vessels and improves circulation. Improved circulation allows more oxygen to be delivered to the muscles, which helps alleviate aches and pains.

Reiki
A method of stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is based on the idea that all living things have a special energy flowing through them called life energy. A Reiki treatment is a way of increasing your life energy. A practitioner will transmit Reiki to the client through the hands. The hands are lightly placed on or near the body in various positions around the head, shoulders, stomach and feet. The treatment is a very relaxing experience that will usually release negative feelings, thoughts and minor aches and pains, leaving the client feeling more positive, light hearted and with feelings of well-being.
