MASSAGE & BODYWORK SERVICES

 HOT STONE MASSAGE 

Hot Stone Massage involves the use of smooth, warmed basalt stones to provide a soothing, toxin clearing, deeply relaxing, unique massage experience. Physiologically, the chemical reaction of blood and lymph exchange is accelerated with the use of hot stones. Heat combined with soft tissue manipulation allows the practitioner to work deeper to facilitate relaxation and realignment of muscle fibers. Mentally, the client reaches a state of relaxation within minutes of applying the first warmed stone compared to 10 minutes of a basic massage session. This 80-minute treatment is an excellent choice for muscular tension and pain as well as weekly/monthly maintenance for relaxation and wellness.

 RELAXATION MASSAGE

 A combination of massage strokes that aid in the reduction of overall muscle tension and stress. Your nervous system will be calmed to allow for total relaxation as various massage modalities are incorporated into this opportunity for total relaxation. CranioSacral therapy and Reiki may also be integrated into this massage to further enhance your state of relaxation.

 DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep pressure in conjunction with kneading, stretching and vibration reduces muscle spasm and deep chronic pain. An important body care component for the avid athlete who frequently participates in sports training or who has over-exercised. Deep tissue work is also beneficial to the nonathlete with sore or stiff muscles due to poor posture, repetitive motion, old and new injuries and overall tension, to name a few.

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY / MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

 CranioSacral Therapy / Myofascial Release facilitates the quieting and healing of your body’s systems. It is a gentle hands on approach to wellness and relaxation. The therapist helps to synchronize the body’s natural rhythm between the base of the skull and the lower back (specifically your sacrum). The overall feeling is one of very deep relaxation. This is an excellent choice for TMJ pain, chronic headaches, migraine headaches, stress relief, neck and back pain, ringing in the ears, depression and chronic pain. This method of bodywork is done fully clothed.

 REIKI

 This ancient Japanese style of bodywork is based on the concept that healing within the body can occur by working in combination with the client’s emotional, mental and spiritual levels, not just the physical level. This gentle, non-invasive type of bodywork leaves you feeling balanced and relaxed and is done fully clothed.

 STRESS RELIEVER

 Massage which concentrates on the head, neck and shoulders. Various relaxation techniques and strokes are utilized which contribute to your overall sense of upper body relaxation.

 SPORTS MASSAGE
