Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints). It's used to break up scar tissue and physically break down muscle "knots" or adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) that can disrupt circulation and cause pain, limited range of motion, and inflammation.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy
A therapeutic technique that initiates healing and encourages emotional stability. The practitioner uses subtle manipulation of muscles and connective tissues that stimulates the body to heal itself. It can provide relief for many types of injuries and other health problems, both acute and chronic and is appropriate for people of all ages, in all degrees of health.
TMJ Massage
TMJ Massage
Massage therapy can help to realign problem areas, relieve the muscle tension and relax the muscles by using Swedish massage and trigger point therapy on areas around the jaw and neck. This type of massage can be very helpful for clients suffering from TMJ pain, tension headaches, neck pain, etc. TMJ massage is enhanced when coupled with other therapies such as Craniosacral Therapy.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and improve blood and lymphatic circulation and restore motion. Some causes of chronic myofascial pain or low back pain are easier to diagnose than others: trauma (such as a car accident or fall), cumulative posture misalignment or mechanical deficits, a compressed nerve from a herniated disc, or inflammatory conditions.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage
Massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Swedish Massage is the recommended massage method during pregnancy because it addresses many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormone shifts. It aims to relax muscle tension and improve lymphatic and blood circulation through mild pressure applied to the muscle groups of the body.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a holistic healing practice that uses a light, hands-on approach that releases tension deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It also, balances the craniosacral system in the body, which includes the bones, nerves, fluids, and connective tissues of the cranium and spinal area.
