Massage Therapy Benefits
Relaxation Massage Therapy: Relaxation massage is a gentle Swedish massage that uses smooth, gliding strokes to help you relax without focusing on easing any muscle soreness or tension. Compared to therapeutic massages, the massage therapist will move at a slower pace and use lighter pressure during a relaxation session.
In a relaxation massage, there is less emphasis on working out chronic underlying muscle tension—the adhesions or "knots" and muscle restrictions in the muscle tissue. The goal of this type of massage is to let you relax mentally and physically. In a relaxation massage, the therapist won't push any limits to get the muscle to release, and you may even fall asleep.
Due to the low pressure and relative universality of its calming effects, getting a relaxation massage is great for both first-timers or those who get massage regularly. Relaxation massage can have several mental and physical health benefits, and can eventually relieve muscle knots throughout many gentle treatments.
Therapeutic/Orthopedic Massage Therapy: addresses more specific parts of the body that may require more pressure or stretching to manipulate the tissue while relieving pain and reducing stress. This type of session can be helpful in healing and rejuvenating the body.
Deep Tissue Massage Therapy: helps reach deep into tissue layers to assist in the break up adhesions, release chronic aches and pains, and help separate the tissue layers to improve mobility. Deep Tissue focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
Heat Therapy/ Infrared Therapy: is a great addition to any massage therapy session. Hot towels may be used for moist heat that warms you up instantly and relaxes your muscle tissue to increase the benefits of any massage therapy session. The Infrared Therapy blanket helps stimulate blood circulation and improve the benefits of your session.
We offer Hot Stone Massage Therapy & our Prenatal Massage Therapy Sessions as well.

Reflexology: also similar to acupressure, is specifically done on the hands, feet and sometimes the ears. There is a mapping on hands and feet that directly correlates with other points on the body. Reflexology has several benefits, including easing allergies, arthritis, asthma, blood pressure, bowel disorders, insomnia, knee, back, and leg problems, PMS/ hormone problems, stress, thyroid imbalances, and more.
Aromatherapy: is a type of therapy that uses essential oils. Essential oils can be used all over the body in a normal massage session, or they can be used in just in specific areas. They can also be diffused into the air using a diffuser. Essential oils are derived from plants, herbs, flowers, and roots. When these oils are combined with bodywork it can significantly enrich your massage experience. Aromatherapy aids in increased blood and lymphatic circulation when paired with massage. It can help balance the hormone production in the endocrine system, strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and aid in peaceful sleep.
