Therapeutic Massage Services
Our licensed massage therapists use a variety of the techniques listed below in one massage session to create a customized massage that is specific to your individual needs, so you won’t need to worry if you’ve chosen the right style of massage for you. Please refer to your therapist should you have further questions.
Swedish Massage: Involves the use of broad, lighter - but firm - gliding strokes to calm the nervous system that can result in an overall feeling of relaxation and a decrease in the perception of pain. Swedish massage is often used in the beginning of a massage session to spread lotion or oil and relax the outer layers of tissue before working deeper.
Deep Tissue Massage:
Involves slower, firm, targeted pressure to specific structures that may be causing pain and discomfort. Not just harder pressure than a Swedish massage, deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.
Sports Massage:
The use of a variety of massage techniques used to treat sport-specific movement and injuries.
Craniosacral Therapy:
The use of gentle pressure to enhance the function of the fluids and tissues of the brain and spinal cord, that can result in the relaxation of the central nervous system, thereby affecting other areas of the body.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): The stretching of the skin to promote the movement of lymphatic fluid when the lymphatic system has been disrupted from trauma, surgery, or disease. MLD is often used to treat post-surgical lymphedema after cancer related lymph node removal.
Pre-Natal Massage: According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, massage is safe and beneficial during pregnancy. Different positioning and pressure may be required during the massage session.
