Massage Overview

Massage treatment is known to treat many types of muscle pains, aches, tension, and stiffness, as well as joint flexibility and headaches such as migraines. It can improve the range of motion while alleviating lower back pain. Continued treatments can ease the dependency on medication for chronic pain suffers, as well as increase the body’s natural defense system by enhancing blood and oxygen flow in the body.

Types of Massage

Swedish Massage - This style of massage utilizes five styles of long, flowing strokes aimed at relaxing the body. Techniques such as kneading, stroking, friction, tapping, and vibration relax the body, and soothing, lubricating lotion is used to increase pleasure. The Swedish massage has proven relief from stiffness, numbness, pain, and other health problems by increasing the body’s flow of oxygen and releasing toxins in the muscles. Your muscles will be rejuvenated, circulation improved, and tensions eased.

Deep Tissue Massage - A more intense form of massage, the Deep Tissue Massage is aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia (the body’s connective tissue).  Deep tissue massage is customized for the individual, and uses many of the same movements and techniques as the Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense.  It is used to release chronic muscle tension or knots using multiple therapeutic techniques.

Hot Stones - Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body.  As you are massaged with the stones, you feel stress melting away, promoting deep tissue and muscle relaxation.  This technique alleviates stress, releases toxins, improves circulation, and calms the psyche.  The stones may be placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand, or between the toes.

Therapeutic Massage - Therapeutic massage is a healing form of touch therapy where the body is massaged all over by the therapist’s hands.  It extends beyond the body, healing the muscle tissue.

Myofascial Release - Myofascial Release is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.  It treats stress and tension in the muscle, and after this intense treatment, the body is refreshed.

Trigger Points – Over time, the body develops spots of hyper irritability which researchers believe is a common cause of pain.  These trigger points can be alleviated with slight pressure which leaves the body tender and refreshed.  Treatments in trigger point therapy can sooth a widespread range of discomforts including headaches, neck and jaw pain, lower back pain, and many other types of joint pain.

Couples Massage - Couples massage therapy is a popular service where two people are given a massage simultaneously by separate massage therapists.  It’s a perfect way to remain close to that special someone.  Couples massage therapy is appropriate for husbands and wives, dating couples, same-sex partners, and even mothers and daughters.  These treatments can be as intimate or formal as the couple desires.  Soft spoken words can be exchanged, or you may want to relax next to someone very close to you.

Foot Massage - Foot massages are sensual and soothing treatments that pamper your feet after a long day of traveling.  You’ll feel an instant relief of tension!  Your feet are constantly hitting the ground, and a foot massage is the perfect way to give them a rest.
