THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
We use a unique blend of swedish massage, deep tissue, and myofascial release as the foundation to all our sessions. This combo achieves both the relaxation and therapeutic goals of many clients. This blend offers so many benefits - a relaxed body and nervous system, softened tissues, increased blood and lymph flow, reduced cortisol levels (stress hormones), and improved function of the muscles and joints.
Sports MASSAGE
We love working with athletes! Sports massage is beneficial for tissue repair, muscle recovery, and overall performance. It helps cut down on injury recovery time and aids in preventing future pain and injury. A sports massage session is specially designed with the client’s sport in mind. It can include active and passive stretching, fascial release, and deep muscle work. The key to success is to regularly give back to your body so it continues working for you!
Cupping
Cupping is an incredibly effective tool for working with tissue problems, pain, range of motion and many other musculoskeletal issues. Cupping utilizes suction to create negative pressure on the skin and the underlying tissues. This vacuum effect helps to lift and separate fused tissues layers, reduce adhesions, and enhance blood and lymph flow, all using negative force, which is very different from the compressive force of massage. Cups serve as little helpers to achieve great results.
KT taping
Kinesiology tape is a tape placed on areas of pain or restricted movement and works with the skin to influence the fascia and nervous system. This can result in improved fluid movement (lymph and blood), improved movement between tissue layers, and an altered perception of pain via new neurosensory input to the brain. Used for injury recovery, to decrease inflammation, pain management, and aid movement, it’s great for athletes and non-athletes alike.
SPOT TREATMENT
Do you want treatment for a specific issue, pain, or injury but don’t want all the ‘extras’ of a traditional massage? Then this is for you. A short and focused session, interactive and creatively crafted to bring you relief and to speed the process of your healing by targeting tissue problems and mobility limitations. These sessions usually include combinations of manual therapy, cupping, stretching, and functional movement.
