Integrative MassageOur specialty is Integrative Therapeutic Massage which includes a blending of many techniques. Whether you want to relax, or have a specific condition that needs addressing, or both, we specialize in combining a variety of techniques to create the best session for you. Massage therapy is a partnership between the client and the therapist. We work with you on specific areas to relieve pain, but we also help you relax and release tension and stress.
Some of the techniques we blend are: Neuromuscular Massage Commonly used for injury rehabilitation or chronic pain conditions. Medium to deep sustained pressure is applied to myofascial trigger points with the intention of “erasing” the trigger points (contracted nodules in the myofascial complex), creating more range of motion, correcting for postural distortions and biomechanical dysfunctions, and increasing healthy fluid flow to the area in conjunction with stretches and home care we can recommend. Medical Massage Outcomes-based massage, primarily the application of a specific treatment targeted to the specific problem(s) Most often, the patient is referred by a Doctor or other health care practitioner. After a thorough assessment/evaluation, specific outcomes are the basis for treatment. Swedish Massage Primarily consists of long gliding and kneading strokes which encourage relaxation and stress reduction. Deep Tissue Massage Firmer pressure than used in Swedish. Slow deep strokes are used to affect the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Myofascial Release No oil or lotion is used and directional stretching of the skin, muscles, and fascia produces mobilization of adhesive tissues. The pressure is slow and continuous as the layers of tissues release. Individual therapists are trained in a variety of these and other techniques. Hot Stone MassageUsing smooth, flat, and heated rocks placed at key points on the body, the therapist is able to target and sooth areas such as the back, hands, etc. The massage therapist also may hold the rocks and use them to work the muscles.

Thai MassageThai massage, originally developed in Thailand, is influenced by the traditional medicine systems of India, China, and Southeast Asia. This form of body work is performed with the client wearing comfortable clothing and lying on a special padded mat on the floor. Passive stretches and rhythmic compression increase deep flexibility and enhance blood flow to the entire body. The depth of the stretches is dependent on the flexibility of the client. Nothing is forced. No oils or lotions are used.
