Massage Modalities We Offer
Each massage modality is designed to address specific needs — from deep relaxation to targeted pain relief.
Swedish Massage
This type of massage helps with relaxation, circulation, and flexibility. The main goal is to flush toxins out of the system while increasing the nourishment received by muscle cells.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers. The particulars of the massage are specific to the athlete's sport of choice and are often focused on a particular troublesome area like a knee or shoulder.
Neuromuscular Massage
Neuromuscular massage is an intense form of bodywork that consists of focused, concentrated massage on one specific area of the body. The pressure may continue for up to thirty seconds at a time and is designed to alleviate tension that extends from a "trigger point" into an entire muscle.
Deep Tissue Massage
Used to address pain in a specific area by working the deeper layers of muscles. The main goal is to break up adhesions in the muscle tissue and to increase circulation and lymph flow. This type of massage is effective for:
- Muscle tension & injuries
- Tension headaches
- Fibromyalgia & arthritis
- Neck, back & chronic pain
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy involves applying pressure to tender muscle tissue to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body. Therapists locate and deactivate trigger points using finger pressure. After several treatments, swelling and stiffness of neuromuscular pain is reduced, range of motion is increased, tension is relieved, and flexibility and coordination are improved.
