Sports Massage
Sports Massage is designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. It can enhance performance, reduce aches and pains, prevent injury, increase flexibility, improve recovery rates as well as relax the mind.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is what most people think of when they think massage. It combines oils with long strokes known as effleurage as well as rolling, kneading and percussion to help the body improve circulation. Benefits include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels, improved mental clarity and greater flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage aims to relieve tension in the deeper tissue layers of the body. It is highly effective in releasing chronic stress areas caused by repetitive motions, lingering injuries and misalignment. Due to the nature of deep tissue work, some discomfort can be expected. It is important to communicate during the session to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is somewhat common after treatment. Plenty of water should be drank to aid the body in flushing and removing toxins released during the session.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular or Trigger Point Therapy focuses on releasing "trigger points" in the body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension occurring in the muscle tissue. During a session, focused pressure is applied in order to release trigger points. Trigger points in the neck and shoulders are frequently responsible for tension headaches.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is an East Asian healing technique used to relieve blood stagnation, a common source of muscular discomfort and dysfunction. It involves palpation in which the skin is pressed using a specific gua sha tool. Toxins are drawn to the skin surface resulting in the appearance of red or deep purple spots. www.guasha.com
