Trigger Point Therapy  
 
30min/$30            60min/$60           90min/$90
 ~ A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body.  Trigger point work is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release.  In this type of massage the recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort. The result of trigger point massage is the elimination of toxins in the muscles and the release of energizing endorphins. A significant decrease in pain is often found after just one treatment.

Swedish Massage

30min/$30            60min/$60           90min/$90

~ The goal is relaxing the entire body and this is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart.  Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching.  Swedish massage is exceptional for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

Deep Tissue Massage

30min/$30           60min/$60           90min/$90

 ~ Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage but is used to target knots and release chronic muscle tension.  Other benefits include reducing inflammation and helping to eliminate scar tissue.  The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).  Deep tissue massage uses strokes across the grain of the muscles, not with the grain as in Swedish massage.  The more intense movements and techniques such as deep finger pressure may be slightly uncomfortable and cause soreness that lasts a couple of days before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief.

Scalp Massage

 

20min/$20

  ~ A scalp massage focuses on the head and neck relieving tension and headaches with a relaxing effect. Add a scalp massage to any of our specialty massages also.

Hot Stone 

60min/$70           90min/$100

 ~  Hot Stone Therapy melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness, and increases circulation and metabolism. Each Hot Stone session features the placement of smooth, water-heated stones at key points on the body to allow for deeper relaxation of the muscles. We then incorporate a customized massage, with the use of hot stones, to create a healing and relaxing experience.

Hot Stone Therapy is ideal for:

·         Muscular aches

·         Back pain

·         Stress and anxiety

·         Poor circulation

·         Rheumatic and arthritic conditions

·         Fibromyalgia

~ Sports massage techniques are incorporated into massages as needed on an individual basis~

Prenatal          (30 min/$30     60min/$60)
Massage during pregnancy offers undeniable physical benefits. Our professional massage therapists will work to stimulate your lymphatic system, increasing immunity and the removal of excess toxins, while also stabilizing hormonal levels and balancing the glandular system. Hormonal changes can cause depression and anxiety during pregnancy.

What Are The Benefits Of Prenatal Massage?

Massage therapy is a wonderful, complimentary choice for prenatal care and a healthy way to reduce stress and promote general well-being. Massage works to relieve the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches, joint pain, and edema. In addition, by relaxing nervous tension, you can experience a better night’s sleep. Below are examples of how massage can help you throughout your pregnancy:


First Trimester

  • Relieve headaches

  • Help alleviate morning sickness

  • Reduce fatigue

Second Trimester

  • Alleviate backaches

  • Relieve leg cramps

Third Trimester

  • Reduce swelling/edema

  • Relieve pain from varicosities

  • Enhance sleep

  • Prepare pelvic muscles for birth process

How Will I Receive My Massage?

You will be gently positioned with pillows as you lay on your side to keep you comfortable while your therapist massages you. During the first trimester, it is also acceptable for clients to lie on their backs with a slight elevation under one hip. This positioning alleviates the extra strain on the lower back and pelvic areas when the massage is being administered.

Are There Times When Massage During Pregnancy Should Be Avoided?

It is very important you obtain approval from your obstetrician before receiving any form of massage during pregnancy. Women with normal, low-risk pregnancies can benefit greatly from massage. However, women in high-risk pregnancies should consult with their doctor or midwife before beginning one of our massage therapy programs. If at any time during the massage you experience discomfort, tell your therapist immediately.

 

Reflexology           (30min/$40        60min/$70)  

~ Reflexology is a branch of massage that focuses solely on the hands and feet.  Originally developed as “zone therapy” in the early twentieth century, reflexology uses specifically targeted points on the extremities to send signals to the brain and balance the nervous system.  A reflexologist stretches and moves the hands and feet, applying pressure on reflex areas that correspond to specific organs and other parts of the body.  Endorphins are released throughout the entire body, reducing stress and returning the body to equilibrium.  Reflexology has been known to provide relief from ailments such as tension headaches, arthritis, digestive issues and back pain.

 

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretching and movement to the feet and hands to trigger corresponding parts of the body. Reflexologists view the feet and hands as a mirror image of the body. A reflexologist can break up patterns of stress in other parts of the body by applying these techniques.  Reflexology is a popular alternative therapy. It promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces pain, soothes tired feet, and encourages overall healing.


Why do people get reflexology?
  • Tension headaches
  • Stress amd stress-related conditions
  • Digestive disorders
  • Arthritis
  • Insomnia
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Sports injuries
  • Menstrual disorders, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
  • Digestive problems, such as constipation
  • Back pain
