Types of Massage

Swedish Massage

This classic European technique is the most common in massage therapy. Stress is eased with long, flowing strokes and muscle kneading. This firm, but gentle, full-body massage improves circulation and relieves muscle tension.

This therapeutic massage works deep into the muscle tissue, both along and across the muscle fibers. This focuses on the release of chronic patterns of tension and pain in the body. Slow deep movements are used to release muscle tension, reduce scar tissue, and increase range of motion.

This massage is designed to prepare muscles for exercise and to help them recover more rapidly for the next round of activity. Designed to help promote flexibility, improve endurance and at the end of a training event. This is a vigorous massage that includes stretching, friction, and range of motion techniques.

This massage relieves many of the normal discomforts during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff necks, leg cramps, swollen ankles, feet, and edema. In addition to the increase in local and general blood circulation, this massage helps to bring more oxygen and nutrients to the cells of both the mother and baby. There is no better way to care for yourself at this special time in your life.

This ancient Native American treatment uses heated, smooth basalt river rocks to dissolve muscle tension and give an overall sense of relaxation and warmth. The stones are applied to the body using the traditional Swedish massage movements to improve circulation, release toxins, and alleviate stress and pain. Hot Stone Massage has been known to treat muscular aches and pains, as well as insomnia and anxiety.
