Cellulite Massage

Nothing equals the effects of a great manual massage.  In order to get rid of cellulite fast, you first have to understand the causes of cellulite.  It has been described as "tissue sludge" and that's exactly what it is, a reduction in the level of skin metabolism resulting in a buildup of cellular waste that gives the skin a lumpy, dull and very unappealing texture.  This massage is great for hard, infiltrated cellulitic tissue as well as athletic conditioning and exercise enhancement.  $85.00

Chair Massage

Chair massage offers a convenient and quick way to alleviate stress. Choose any amount of time from 10 minutes to one hour. It is particularly good for people who have difficulty lying down and may be done in any space--even an office. Chair massage is also convenient for people who prefer to keep their clothing on. $1.00 (per minute)

Cranio Sacral Therapy

Cranio Sacral Therapy is a gentle, hands on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.  Benefits can come in a variety of ways including:

• Increased sense of relaxation
• Improvement of the symptoms you came to see the practitioner about. Quite simply, you get better
• Improvement of other symptoms - someone coming for relief from a bad back can find that, as well as their back pain easing, the migraines they have had for years have got better too
• Change in behavior patterns, leading to an improvement in relationships with friends, family, colleagues, etc
• Greater capacity to manage life in general
• Better management of specific disease symptoms
• Reduced anxiety, stress and/or hyperactivity
• Improvement of psychological issues
• Reduction of effects of past trauma including post traumatic stress
• Improved sense of well-being

Deep Tissue Massage

There are different modalities of Deep Tissue Massage, some of them are: Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Structural Alignment, Somatic Therapy, Muscle Energy Technique, and more. This type of massage is directed toward the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia. Some of the techniques focus just on the physiological release of tension or bonds in the tissue, whereas others use body work in conjunction with or as a means of psychological release. In our Deep Tissue Massage we employ a combination of all modalities, tailoring the massage to the specific needs of the client allowing nutrients to be brought to tissue deep within the body, relieving muscle spasms and facilitating emotional release. $70.00

Hot Stone Massage

The application of heat on the body during stone massage stimulates the circulatory system and promotes self-healing, softens and relaxes the muscles, helps to release toxins from the muscles, induces a state of deep relaxation that washes away stress, helps relieve pain and muscle spasms and creates a feeling of peacefulness and spiritual well-being. $85.00

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

Lymphatic drainage utilizes a very light pressure combined with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes.  Used to help increase lymph flow, removed harmful substances from the tissues and increases immune function.  Can be useful in cases of edema, sports injury or for people experiencing a sluggish immune system or those suffering from a lack of energy, and more.$70.00

Myofascial therapy is effective in eliminating 95% of all physical pain associated with muscular discomfort. It is successful in patients suffering from many types of head, back, and neck pain. It also relieves the discomfort of carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and arthritis. Patients suffering from multiple sclerosis experience reductions in swelling. Athletes who undergo myotherapy often experience enhanced physical performance. $70.00

Sports Massage

Did you know that exercise has negative effects on the body?

During intense training, competition, and sometimes in everyday life, muscle strength and endurance are pushed to the limit and beyond. The results may include:

• Increased metabolic waste buildup in the tissue
• Strains in the muscle or connective tissue. These may range from microscopic trauma or major injury
• Inflammation and associated fibrosis
• Spasms and pain that restrict movement

Skillfully applied sports massage effectively counteracts these negative effects.

The goal of sports massage is to enhance the athlete’s performance. The beneficial effects of Sports massage are:

• It causes hyperemia, making more oxygen and nutrients necessary for growth and repair available to the body area being massaged
• It stimulates circulation and lymph drainage to flush out metabolic wastes of exertion quickly. It is three to five times more effective in combating fatigue than resting
• It stretches and broadens muscle, tendons, and ligaments, improving flexibility
• It reduces muscle spasm
• It identifies possible trouble areas and helps to eliminate them
• It breaks down adhesions between fascial sheaths
• It separates fibrosis and breaks down adhesions that result from inflammation and trauma
• It helps to realign collagen fibers formed as a result of injury to produce a strong flexible scar
• Encourages better performance and reduces the chances of injury
• Greatly reduces muscle stiffness due to excess acid buildup
• Reduces ischemic pain and pain from spasms, splinting and tension
• Assists injuries in healing quicker and stronger without loss of power due to transverse fibrosis

Somatic Therapy

Through the re-education of the muscular system, somatic therapy can cure or relieve a variety of complaints including adhesive capsulitis, arthritis, back pain, balance problems, dislocation of joints, displaced patella, dizziness, foot pain, frequent urination, hamstring pulls, headaches, joint pain, obesity, sacroiliac pain, sciatica, scoliosis, shoulder tightness and pain, spinal stenosis, temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), thoracic outlet syndrome, uneven leg length, and whiplash.  This modality of Deep Tissue Massage aligns the physical and mental using a variety of techniques including Neuromuscular, Trigger Point Therapy, Cranio Sacral Therapy and Polarity.  $70.00

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage helps loosen tight muscles, stretches connective tissues, relieves cramps and muscle spasms, decreases muscle fatigue, loosens joints and improves range of motion, increases muscle strength, sedates the nervous system and stimulates blood circulation firming up muscle and skin tone. $70.00

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy interrupts the neural signals that cause both the trigger point and pain, eliminating pain by re-educating the muscles into pain-free habits. Swelling and stiffness of neuromuscular pain is reduced, range of motion is increased, and flexibility and coordination are improved. The therapy can also relieve tension and improve circulation. $70.00

Visceral Manipulation

Visceral Manipulation involves the release of tension in the ligaments of the organs in the body. It is a gentle, but relatively deep tissue therapy with the entire emphasis on making sure that the organs move and glide freely. Frequently the cause of the lack of motion in the organs is due to severe trauma to the body (i.e. car accidents, falls, etc.). Visceral manipulation aids in relaxation, can provide reduction in pain and inflammation and helps with a variety of symptoms including chronic back and joint pain to indigestion, infection, incontinence, migraines and even impotence and sterility.  $70.00
