Therapeutic massage usually has a goal. Whether it be to resolve acute pain, manage chronic pain, or reduce stress and tension.
Prenatal Massage is a safe way to manage the pain, edema, stress and tension that comes with pregnancy. There are two types of prenatal therapy.
Side-Lying - This method uses pillows to comfortably have you laying on your side for the massage. This is best for those in the 1st trimester
Prenatal Cushion - The prenatal cushion has spaces for breast tissue and belly. This is a very safe way to allow an expectant person to lay face down for a portion of the massage. Many find this very comfortable.
To make sure you get the full benefits of the massage, prenatal massages are limited to 60 and 90 minutes sessions.
Lymphatic Drainage is a style of massage that helps reduce swelling/edema. We do this by using light therapeutic massage strokes making sure to follow the direction of lymph vessels and nodes. This style massage can be a stand alone treatment or incorporated into a therapeutic massage. This style is best for:
Post-natal
Areas with edema, lymphedema
Swelling after an injury or surgery
Swelling after liposuction
Swelling from arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia, Gout, and other auto-immune diseases and disorders.
Hot Stone massage is heat therapy using basalt and jade stones. This is available as a full service where the stones are incorporated with the massage and left on the skin to help reduce stress and muscle tension. With our Touch of Stones option we use a few stones to treat specific areas.
Cold Stone Massage uses cold marble stones for cryotherapy. This method is typically used for the head, neck, shoulders and arms. This works best for
Carpal Tunnel
Migraines
Occipital and Trigeminal Neuralgia
Sinus Headaches
Inflammation
Himalayan Salt stones are warmed and provide heat therapy with light exfoliation. The stones are incorporated into the massage and available as an add-on.
Cupping Therapy uses silicone or acrylic cups to create suction on the skin to stimulate blood flow into an area and aid in muscle recovery. Cupping also helps with myofascial release therapy.
Gua-Sha uses smooth edged tools (Stainless steel and Aventurine) to "scrape" at muscle tissue. The friction and blood flow helps release adhesions and muscle tension and helps with scar tissue healing.
Also known as sport taping, KT taping, kinetic tape etc, athletic taping is a strategic placing of sport tape to help add space between tissues to reduce swelling to an injured area. This is commonly used on to treat pain and/or injuries to joints.
