Massage & Bodywork

Swedish massage is one of the most well-known forms of massage and the most popular. It’s the one to choose if the stress and tension of every day life is getting to you and you’d like to give yourself a break. Swedish massage increases relaxation, relieves pain, and promotes healing.

Deep tissue massage is used to do a specific area. It’s used for chronic pain and/or pain related to an injury. The therapist will spend from half hour to an hour on the affected area to break up adhesions which have formed on the muscle fibers and release toxins formed by the body’s response to injury.

Aromatherapy massage incorporates essential oils from plants and flowers into a massage to promote relaxation and healing. The essential oil may be mixed into the massage oil or cream, or may be used in a diffuser which allows the scent to fill the room.

Pre-Natal massage specializes in treating the mother-to-be. In addition to providing a relaxing experience, it targets the areas of the body which are especially stressed by carrying the baby, helping to alleviate some of the discomfort that can accompany pregnancy.

Sports massage is a variation of Swedish massage. If done before an athletic event, it helps to prepare the body for the exertion it will experience during that event by increasing blood circulation and stretching the muscles. If done after an athletic event, it helps to rid the body of excess lactic acid and other toxins while also relaxing and restoring normal muscle tone.

Shiatsu is a form of massage that originated in Japan and works to balance the energy or “ki” in the body. This is accomplished by applying finger pressure to specific points along the energy pathways, or meridians, releasing blocks of energy to promote healing and relaxation. The client is fully dressed in lose and comfortable clothing for this form of bodywork.

Reiki is a form of energy work which, like Shiatsu, has origins in the Far East. The practitioner uses the Universal Energy to help bring balance and restore energy to the client; gently placing their hands on areas of the body experiencing tension or pain to bring that life energy into areas of discomfort in the client. The client is fully dressed in lose and comfortable clothing for this form of body work.

Reflexology is a form of bodywork applied to the feet, and sometimes the hands. There are reflex zones on the feet and hands that correspond to different areas and organs in the body; manipulating these points help to promote balance and relaxation in the client.
