Therapeutic
Massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage-effleurage(light touch) petrissage(kneading), tapotement(rhythmic tapping), friction, compression and vibration. As with all the massages below, Therapeutic massage will help decrease blood pressure, stimulate blood and lymph flow, relieve pain, increase joint mobility and relax overused muscles.
Deep Tissue
Focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue and is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas. Many of the same strokes are used as our therapeutic massage, but the movements are slower and the pressure deeper and concentrated.
Hot Stone
Massage uses water-heated stones to apply pressure and heat the body. Stones coated in oil or lotion can be used by the therapist to deliver various massage strokes as well.
Sports Therapy
Designed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recovering after big events or functioning well during training and between events.
Prenatal
Massage shares many of the ideals of our therapeutic massage, but it is tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies.
Reiki
