Massage Therapy

---

Swedish massage is considered the classic massage method. This massage  stimulates the flow of blood using different strokes for soothing,  relaxing, calming, and stress reduction. Swedish massage produces a positive effect on the nervous, muscle, cardiovascular, and lymphatic systems.  

Deep Tissue massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the  top muscles. This type of massage is designed to relieve tension, trigger points, and adhesion's in the muscle and connective tissue. 

Prenatal massage is for our expecting mothers. Prenatal massage therapy can improve the health of the mother and their newborn, reduce swelling, decrease anxiety, enhance energy, and reduce muscle/joint pain such as sciatica and other complications that come with pregnancy.

Warmed basalt stones are placed and glided across surface of skin providing a relaxation effect. The heat given off by the stones penetrates deeply into the muscles reducing tension and a profound relaxation during your massage. 

This type of massage is for deep relief in painful areas where muscle is tense and it helps to decrease inflammation, pain, ESR levels. Cupping increases mobility and circulation locally and systemically. Can also help with anxiety, asthma, depression, insomnia and more.

Most massage techniques are performed with the client unclothed; however, you may decide what is comfortable for you. You will be alone in the  room while you disrobe, relax onto the table and cover yourself with a  clean sheet. You are draped at all times with a sheet and blanket to  keep you warm and comfortable. Only the areas worked will be exposed at that time.  

This will be determined by where you are tense and/or feeling pain, such as  your neck, shoulders, and lower back. A typical full body massage session includes work on head, neck, arms, hands, legs, feet, back, and shoulders. 

Make  yourself comfortable! Many people prefer to close their eyes and  completely relax, while others like to visit. This is up to you. Feel  free to ask questions about massage in general, or about the techniques you are receiving. Sometimes immediate effects of a massage may seem mild. Others are felt over time, so watch for changes such as pain relief, increased mobility, reduced stress, greater relaxation, and etc.
