Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.
Pressure Point Therapy
Your body stores stress in specific areas called pressure points. Pressure points are small painful pockets of energy that are located along a nerve pathway in your body. These pressure points actually block the nerve energy from flowing through your body, causing a variety of discomforts and illnesses. In our session, I apply pressure to these specific points and dissolve them, releasing any blockages and restoring your nerve pathways to optimal health and function.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It is designed to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system bringing a state of deep relaxation to you the client. It improves circulation and moves fluids within the body. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
Myofascial Massage
Myofascial massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane. Stainless steel tools are incorporated.
Tui Na
This massage modality is of Traditional Chinese Medicine origin that addresses specific patterns of disharmony in the body. Tui Na is a therapeutic form of massage and has been used in China for more than 5,000 years. This unique form of massage uses rhythmic compression along with acupressure to harmonize your flow of QI (energy channels in the body) to bring back balance. Tui Na works to restore a positive energy flow within your meridians.
Condition treatment
This modality is intended for the treatment of specific conditions associated with the musculoskeletal system. Your therapist is qualified to treat a variety of conditions. Deep structural therapeutic treatments are designed to reduce pain in the localized areas of discomfort. Please consult with your therapist to see if your condition is one she treats.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Floor Thai Massage
Floor Thai is a grounding modality, focused on deep pressure and relaxing stretches.
