Types of Massage & Rates

 

• Swedish-This technique uses six movements "strokes" to promote increased circulation. By increasing the circulatory system 3 to 5 times faster, it helps the body get rid of toxins and deoxygenated blood. In addition, it brings oxygen and nutrients to the cells to promote faster healing. Swedish massage also helps to relieve stress and reduce muscle soreness.
   

• Hot Stones Therapy-Hot Stones are worked over the muscles to release the connective tissue which is 2000 pounds per square inch of tensile strength. Muscles become tight because they are pulled out of alignment by overly tight connected tissue. Nothing releases the connected tissue better than heat. Hot stones also feel wonderful when applied in this manner.
   

• ​Sports-Injury Rehab-This massage helps the athlete to recover from injuries suffered while competing. Most common injuries such as ankles, knees, shoulders, and elbows, can be rehabilitated more quickly with sports massage.  It can fast-track the healing process so that they can compete again. Maintenance sports massage also keeps the athlete performing at peak levels year round.
   

• Stress Relief-Everyone has stress. How we handle it is very important. A stress relief massage releases the connective tissue and muscles that are impinging the nerves and blood vessels. This ischemic condition can be altered with massage and makes you feel so much better. Tight muscles, particularly in the shoulders and neck produce stress and headaches.
   

• Personal Injury and Pain Management- Whether you are in a car accident, or a fall, you can receive soft tissue injuries. It is very important after you have an accident, that you get the appropriate therapy for sprains, strains, nerve impingement and bulging or herniated discs. Knowledge of anatomy, physiology and kinesiology is absolutely necessary to do this type of massage. The goal of this massage is to repair soft tissue injuries and relieve pain.
   

• Pre/Post-Natal-This modality can be very beneficial to both the mother as well as the unborn child. It helps to reduce stress and anxiety, increase blood and lymph circulation and reduces muscle soreness. Additional weight gain during pregnancy puts stress on the joints. This massage can relax the tight muscles around the joint and provide pain relief. Post natal massage helps the body to recover from the stressors of pregnancy.
   

• Myofascial Release- Using the John Barnes method of myofascia release helps to alter the molecular structure of the connective tissue. By making the connective tissue release, the muscles go back to their normal positions. This modality realigns the muscles, reduces pain and improves your posture.
   

• Craniosacrial Unwinding- This method of bodywork is a profound energy modality. Whereas massage releases the muscles and connective tissue from the outside of the body inward,  cranial sacral unwinding releases the connective tissue from the inside of the body outward. It is extremely therapeutic and puts the client in a very relaxed, stress-free state.
