Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is often known as the "traditional" or "relaxation" massage. It is one of the lighter and more nurturing modalities of massage therapy that helps relieve daily stress, tight muscles, and minor aches and pains. It also increases circulation, improves immunity, promotes restful sleep, increases energy, and improves flexibility.
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue Massage is similar to Swedish but provides more pressure to reach the deep portions of thick muscles, specifically the individual muscle fibers. By incorporating deep muscle compression and friction along the grain of the muscle, its purpose is to loosen the fibers of the muscle and release both toxins and deeply held patterns of tension. This is best for the client who needs help with common tension knots and tension areas.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is also known as Triggerpoint Myotherapy. This type of massage is most effective in treating pain patterns, postural distortions, and repetitive motion injuries. It treats specific muscles or muscle compartments that have become short-locked, thus creating pain and limited range of motion. This therapy is for clients who want to "fix" the problem and help maintain proper muscle function and posture. Excellent for conditions such as: TMJ Disorder, Plantar Fasciitis, bRotator Cuff Injuries, Tennis Elbow, Carpel Tunnel, & Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage is a variation on classic massage therapy. The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure if desired.The warmth of the stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system. It is suited for the client who has deep muscle tension, but prefers a lighter massage. This modality also helps back pain and aches, poor circulation, Osteoarthritis and Arthritis pain, Insomnia, and Depression.
Sports Massage
