SWEDISH

This is the style that most people think of when thinking about massage. This is a traditional oiled massage that uses long flowing strokes with moderate to light pressure on the muscular and soft tissues of the body. This method of massage therapy is sure to deliver relaxation to the body as well as gently impact the circulatory and lymphatic systems.

INTENSIVE DEEP TISSUE

This style is not for the faint of heart! Your therapist will use powerful penetrating strokes (oiled and/or dry) to loosen and lengthen even the deepest layers of musculature. This proven therapeutic technique makes use of the application of strong pressure to trigger points - using fingers, fists, forearms and elbows. Deep tissue massage has been proven in studies to dramatically help to decrease spasms and break up adhesions in the muscles.

TRIGGER POINT

Sometimes referred to as Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy, this style is a form of physical manipulation used to relieve muscle skeletal pain caused by muscle spasm.

SPORTS MASSAGE

While the name may sound like it is just for athletes, don't be fooled, Sports massage is awesome for anybody suffering from chronic pain, injury, or range-of-motion issues. This highly therapeutic technique emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries (both big or just nagging) to the muscles and tendons.

When getting a Sports Massage, your therapist will usually focus on a specific problem area. For those of you who happen to suffer from a sore neck or maybe your shoulders, this is the massage for you!

GERIATRIC

This style of massage takes into account the unique issues that are associated with the elderly. Older persons are more likely to have increased fragility and be more sensitive to touch. That is why nurses and other care providers are often taught this style of massage.

Again, there are multiple studies which show a link between physical touch and physical and mental health. A great way to combat the feelings of isolation that are common to the elderly is through the use of focused touch from a skilled massage therapist. In addition to helping with depression and lowering stress, massage will also stimulate circulation, boost the immune system, and help with those aches and pains associated with growing older.

HOT-STONE TREATMENT

you have never experienced a skilled therapist using hot stone treatment, you are in for a real treat. Try our hot-stone therapy which uses hot stones to increase circulation and reduce soreness while melting away even the most entrenched muscle spasms. During your hot stone treatment your therapist will make use of Swedish massage strokes while holding a heated stone. When the stone cools, it will be replaced with another. Some hot stones are strategically placed on your body during the course of the therapy.
