Description of Services
Treatment sessions are tailored to fit the individual
needs of the client. Most often, a variety of
techniques are utilized during a session.
Neuromuscular/Trigger Point
Trigger points (knots) in the muscles are the source of a great deal of pain
and dysfunction in the body, including stiffness and even joint pain. Based on
the work of Dr. Janet Travell, trigger points are
deactivated by applying concentrated pressure to the muscle or connective
tissue to break the cycle of spasm and pain. Very effective for the relief of
pain, restoring mobility and flexibility.
Myofascial Release
Using long, deep, gliding strokes, restrictions in the muscles and fascia (connective tissue)
are released, allowing the body greater freedom of movement and improved body
mechanics.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stones are used throughout the massage to "melt" away muscle stress
and address specific problem areas with more detailed work. The
heat in this massage is very soothing, facilitating total body
relaxation.
Swedish Massage
A combination of long strokes, kneading and friction on the most superficial layers of the muscles.
Swedish massage relaxes the muscles, reduces stress, improves circulation, and
eases aches and pains.
Pregnancy Massage
Great for all phases of pregnancy, including post-partum, to help
maintain muscle and
skeletal balance, improve circulation, reduce aches and pains,
rejuvenate and
energize the entire body. Our therapists are specially trained to
position you safely for optimal comfort and effect during this special
time.
Chair Massage
You are comfortably seated in a specially designed chair, and the
therapist works on you over your clothes. A great choice for a
quick refresher.
Amma Massage
Japanese pressure point therapy that incorporates range of motion with
a variety of massage techniques to work specific points on the body
within energy channels. It releases blocked energy and restores
balance to the body. This massage is done with the client clothed
and leaves you feeling energized and refreshed.
Reiki
pronounced "ray key", is a safe and simple hands
on technique of channeling universal energy into the body to promote healing
and help balance and harmonize the body systems. Reiki is successfully used in hospitals to
alleviate pain, reduce toxic effects of medications as well as to improve
vitality quickly. Reiki is gentle and
relaxing, yet works very deeply. Reiki
can be used as a delightful revitalizing treat, or to reduce or eliminate
stress, fatigue or illness. Some common
results are relief of headaches, cramps, indigestion, emotional problems as
well as detoxification and improvement of body functions. Reiki often works best with conditions that
don’t respond to conventional medical therapies and can make conventional
methods more effective. Reiki is helpful with surgeries and injuries and can
reduce healing time to one third with repeated sessions.
During a Reiki session
you will lie comfortably on a bodywork table, fully clothed, with the
practitioner’s hands softly placed over specific areas of the body. There is no massage involved. You may feel warmth and tingling, you will
feel very relaxed!
