Our Licensed Massage Therapist has Experience with the Following Modalities:
Deep Tissue/Neuromuscular Therapy:
Deep Tissue Massage focuses mostly on musculoskeletal issues, stiffness, pain, and range of motion. While it can be used for relaxation, it’s main focus is releasing tension within the deeper levels of the muscle tissue. Deep tissue does not always mean deep pressure. Pressure is preference.
Myofascial Release:
Myofascial Release is a technique that focuses on breaking up adhesions in the connective tissue between the muscle and skin. This technique can be useful in breaking up scar tissue and overly tight fibrous connective tissue. Typically, little to no lotion is used during this technique.
Sports Massage:
Sports Massage is one of the oldest modalities in massage history, dating back to ancient Greece and the Olympians. Sports Massage is a hands on treatment used to relieve tension in muscles and connective tissue due to excessive physical activity. Focusing on flexibility, range of motion, and muscle performance.
Swedish:
Swedish massage is a more traditional massage that promotes blood flow, relieves superficial tension, and promotes relaxation with its long, flowing glides and gentle pressures. Traditionally, it is a relaxing modality.
Reflexology:
Reflexology is a practice based on the theory that all areas of the body correspond with and can be mapped onto areas of the hands and feet. Typically, the feet are used in reflexology, but in some circumstances, the hands or ears may be used.
Shiatsu:
Shiatsu regulates the automatic nervous system activity and stimulates the circulatory, lymphatic, and hormonal systems. Poor posture, joint problems, sprains, arthritis, sciatica, acute and chronic neck and back pain, sinusitis, and bronchitis are treatable with Shiatsu. In addition to being a deeply relaxing experience, Shiatsu helps relieve stress, treat pain and illness, and contribute to a patient's overall health and wellbeing.
Cupping:
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, well-being, and as a type of deep tissue massage.
