We provide a variety of techniques to help promote injury recovery, health maintenance, and stress management in a professional, warm atmosphere.
A Swedish massage is a full body massage designed to promote general relaxation. Using long gliding strokes, the therapist will soothe your muscles and nerves, easing tension and stress. This form of massage is wonderful for increasing oxygen and reducing body toxins, while improving circulation and flexibility.
This technique goes deeper into the muscle tissue to reduce spasms and scar tissue that often result from chronic injury or overuse. The therapist will use a combination of Swedish and deep tissue massage to enhance circulation and bring relief to the affected areas.
A therapeutic massage focusing on a specific muscle group. Depending on the needs of the athlete, a variety of techniques are used including classic Swedish strokes, cross-fiber friction, pressure-point work, and joint mobilization; stretches and heat therapy may also be used. The special form of massage is typically used before, during, and after athletic events to prepare the athlete for peak performance, or to drain away fatigue, relieve swelling, reduce muscle tension, promote flexibility and to prevent injuries.
Myofascial release is an effective therapeutic approach in the relief of cervical pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, neurological dysfunction, restriction of motion, chronic pain, and headaches. This massage modality stretches the fascia with gentle pressure, releasing the bonds and allowing the muscles to move more efficiently.
A massage beneficial in treating sprains, tendonitis, and other soft tissue injuries. This modality can decrease excess neurological activity, thereby lessening spasms and restoring muscle tone and length in the injured area. The reduction of muscle spasms will also increase blood flow and nutrients to the area, further promoting healing. Adhesions and excess scarring after injury can limit movement and functioning. This can create muscle tightness that may cause further pain and dysfunction. Massage therapy is very effective in managing the development of scar tissue, maximizing mobility and flexibility in the injured area.
A comprehensive program of soft-tissue manipulation used to balance the body’s central nervous system with the musculoskeletal system. Based on neurological laws that explain how the central nervous system initiates and maintains pain, the goal is to help relieve the pain and dysfunction by understanding and alleviating the underlying cause.
The therapist uses special cushions to allow the client to lie on her side during the massage. A lighter Swedish massage is the perfect treatment for an expectant mother.
Lomilomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage. This modality emphasizes the spirit/body connection and is characterized by its very large, broad strokes, as well as two-handed strokes that enlist the forearms and elbows. Lomilomi is often referred to as a Loving Hands massage.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive approach to releasing restrictions in the craniosacral system as well as supporting every system in the body, releasing tension and enhancing your body's own ability to heal. Craniosacral therapy is received fully clothed and can be the first treatment utilized after an injury in cases where a deeper touch is not recommended.
Massage therapy can help address the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia by increasing blood circulation, flexibility and range of motion. Massage helps decrease stress, anxiety and the pain, swelling and stiffness associated with these conditions. Restful sleep is also a benefit of regular massage which assists with fatigue.
A specific technique that massage the lymph nodes and lymph system using light rhythmic strokes designed to remove bacteria and toxins from the body. When lymph circulation stagnates, fluid can build up and cause physical problems, such as inflammation, edemas and neurotherpaies. A characteristic of lymph system massage is that the strokes are always with the muscle fiber, rather than cross-fiber, because the lymph system runs in the direction of the muscle fiber.

Enjoy a full body massage with the addition of hot stone therapy. The stones are heated and placed on specific areas of the body to enhance circulation and melt away muscle tightness and pain.
Reflexology is a touch modality based on the principle that there are reflex points throughout the feet, hands and outer ears which correspond to every system, organ and gland in the body. When specific thumb, finger and hand techniques are applied, nerve pathways are stimulated and cleared of congestion. The benefits of Reflexology may include stress reduction, deep relaxation, pain reduction or elimination, increased circulation, natural detoxification, accelerated self-healing, balancing of the body's systems, and an increased sense of well-being.
