MASSAGE TECHNIQUES:

"Massage doesn't just feel good. Research shows it reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and releases endorphins, the body's natural painkillers."
       ©1999, American Massage Therapy Association

Therapeutic Massage combines the essentials of relaxation massage with therapy. By increasing circulation and flushing toxins out of the body, therapeutic massage provides relief from painful, recurring muscle spasms.

Deep Tissue Massage relies on slow strokes and deep pressure to concentrated areas to release chronic patterns of tension in the body. It focuses on deeper layers of muscle tissue as well as tendons and fascia.

Relaxation Massage is the most common type of massage. Specific strokes and pressure target the more superficial layers of the muscles and are often combined with active and passive movements of the joints. This therapy promotes general relaxation, improves blood circulation and range of motion, and relieves muscle tension.

Neuromuscular Massage is a form of deep tissue massage applied to individual muscles. It is used to increase blood flow, reduce pain, and release pressure on nerves due to injuries to muscles and other soft tissue. Neuromuscular massage helps release trigger points: intense muscle spasms that can also "refer" pain to other parts of the body. Relieving a trigger point in your back, for example, could help ease shoulder pain or reduce headaches.

Myofascial Release works with the muscles and fascia in order to relieve pain in the body's musculo-skeletal system. Myofascial release employs skillful manipulation to rebalance the body by releasing tension in the fascia. Light to moderate pressure warms and lengthens the muscles, while stretching strokes ease muscular tension.

Sports Massage is a deep massage characterized by slow, strong strokes focusing on muscle systems specific to a particular sport. Sports Massage is classified into three main categories: maintenance, event, and rehabilitation. Maintenance massage is a regular program of massage to help the athlete reach optimal performance through injury-free training. Event massage takes place before, during, and/or after competition to supplement an athlete's warmup, to ready the athlete for top performance, and/or to accompany vigorous exercise. Rehabilitation massage is effective in addressing both acute and chronic sports-related injuries.

Couples Massage is a hugely popular option. Couples massage can be enjoyed by any two people, not just those romantically involved. Mothers and daughters, brothers and sisters, close friends, and even coworkers can, and do, take advantage of this mini-communal experience.

Refresh the Spirit Body Wrap is an energizing and nurturing dry body wrap. A light exfoliation followed by a nourishing body lotion will leave the skin feeling soft and smooth. The potent essential oils of rosemary, peppermint, and tangerine invigorate the senses, while a scalp and foot massage enhances overall serenity.

Geriatric Massage is tailored to the specific health conditions and needs of the elderly client. It reduces high blood pressue, lymphedema, and diabetic neuropathy. Geriatric massage also helps stroke patients, and those suffering from circulatory impairment, Parkinson's, MS, Alzheimer's, sleep disorders, emphysema, joint replacement trauma, amputation, arthritis, bursitis, and even tendonitis.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction that also promotes healing. Administered by "laying on hands," it is based on the principle that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us. Recipients often report feeling immersed in a radiant, soothing "river" of energy.

LaStone Massage is based on geo-thermography which involves the alternating application of heated and chilled stones. These stones are placed on key points of the body and are also used to apply a deep, penetrating massage to targeted muscles. Clients report feeling grounded and incredibly relaxed.

Pregnancy Massage focuses on the special needs of the pregnant woman to minimize the physical and emotional discomforts of pregnancy and childbirth. During pregnancy, a woman's body experiences many changes. Back pain--extremely common in pregnancy--can be relieved by periodic massage to the back, neck, legs, and feet. Other significant benefits include relief from leg cramps and swelling, deep relaxation, increased energy levels and relief of muscle tension in the areas most affected by the developing fetus and the mother's shifting center of gravity.

Reflexology involves expertly applying pressure to the matrix of points on the hands and feet thought to correspond, or "reflex," to all areas of the body. Though the massage is point-specific, it is also intended to benefit the entire body.
