About Massage Therapy

"Human touch has the power to heal," The Bodywork and Massage Sourcebook.

 

Therapeutic Massage relaxes the nervous system helping to relieve stress, tension and anxiety which medical research indicates is one of the leading causes of health problems.  Massage also increases blood and lymphatic circulation to relieve the pain, swelling and discomfort caused by illness, injury, activity, or hormonal changes.

 

 Massage and bodywork can help with Stress/ Tension/ Anxiety, Headaches, Fibromyalgia, Pregnancy/ PMS/ Menopause, Insomnia, Injuries, and much more!

We specialize in the following:

Swedish/Relaxation- Uses kneading strokes, tapping and shaking to induce the muscles and body to relax and improve circulation. This is the most popular/well-known type of massage in the US and Europe. Many people experience this type of massage on cruises or at spas.

A few benefits of Swedish Massage are: Less muscle tension and soreness, relief from migraine headaches, effective elimination of toxins, less anxiety, less trouble sleeping and many more.

Myofascial Release- A form of deep tissue work focusing on the muscle and fascia (connective tissue that permeates muscle and forms protective sheets throughout your body). This is also known as Deep-Tissue massage. This aims at restoring balance to the body and its system.

A few benefits of Myofascial Release are: Increased range of motion, relief from muscle tightness in many areas, relief from scoliosis, improved respiration, improved posture, and much more.


Neuromuscular/ Trigger Point Therapy*- Deep tissue massage focusing on a specific muscle, also called NMT. NMT attempts to locate and relieve the sources of pain, and free you from it allowing your body to blend back to its balance and flow into harmony. A successful treatment of trigger points can bring lasting relief from long-standing chronic pain syndromes.

A few benefits of NMT are: Relief from chronic pain, improved circulation,, better postural patterns, enhanced sense of well-being.

NMT offers relief from the following: Chronic headaches, low-back pain, eye and ear pain, sciatica and gluteal pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical whiplash injuries, tennis elbow, dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems, body toxicity.
