Swedish Massage
For those who wish to relax and alleviate stress, but aren't
interested in any very specific or concentrated work, Swedish
Massage is recommended.  Swedish Massage combines a variety
of relaxation techniques, with long flowing strokes, to initiate the
relaxation response, increase circulation, sooth tired/sore muscles,
and relieve tension.

Deep Tissue
For muscle tightness, adhesions, postural misalignment, chronic
pain, injury recovery and rehabilitation, Deep Tissue Massage is
recommended.  Deep Tissue techniques work to go below the
superficial layers of muscle tissue, breaking up muscle fibers,
releasing muscle tension, increasing range of motion, and
stimulating  connective tissue regeneration.  
Deeper techniques, while beneficial, can sometimes be
uncomfortable.  Talk with your therapist to decide if this treatment
is right for you.

Integrated Massage
If you wish to relax, but have specific areas of tightness, soreness,
or chronic pain, or an area you would like to address, a combination
of Relaxation and Deep Tissue techniques can be used.  Talk with
your therapist about your exact needs and what your desired goals
are for the massage.

Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a special form of massage and is typically used
before, during, and after athletic events. The purpose of the massage
is to prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue,
to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility
and to prevent injuries.

                            Trigger Point Therapy                                
Pressure point and deep tissue work that focuses on releasing
trigger points within the muscle tissue.  These points are highly
sensitive areas within the muscles that may or may not refer pain to
other areas of the body. The purpose of this therapy is to eliminate
pain and to re-educate the muscles and leads to increased range of
motion, tension reduction and increased circulation and
flexibility.              

Prenatal Massage
Just as in any massage, prenatal massage loosens and relaxes the
pregnant woman’s muscles. It also helps improve the circulation of
blood in her body, and reduce edema and swelling. Most
importantly, prenatal massage helps to increase the flexibility of the
pregnant woman’s body so that her labor and delivery will be easier
and less painful for her.
                                 
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage is a specialized massage used for deep
relaxation.  It is also therapeutic because the heat of the stones
allows for deeper penetration of the muscle tissue.  Volcanic stones
and warm oils are used to massage your body, relieving tension and
stress. The heat of the stones makes this treatment a one of a kind
mind/body experience.  Among the many benefits of this relaxing
massage are the strengthening of the lungs, intestines, bones, and
improved skin tone.  Hot Stone Massage also helps to regulate the
digestive, circulatory and nervous systems.

Reiki
This is a modality of energy work originating in Japan.  It works
on the energy centers or chakras of the body to release negative
energy and restore overall health and well-being.  Deeply relaxing,
this form of bodywork promotes internal as well as external healing.

Oncology Massage
A highly specialized modality designed to provide safe, nurturing
touch for those suffering from cancer, side effects of cancer
treatment or for those in remission for cancer.  Oncology massage
helps to reduce anxiety, fear, nausea, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy,
post-surgical scarring and complications; while improving the patient’
s rate of healing, tolerance of treatments and negative side-effects,
and overall sense of well-being.
