Our most popular and most frequently requested massage. Relaxation massage is essentially the same as a gentle Swedish massage that uses smooth, gliding strokes. The primary purpose will be to help you relax, and the massage therapist will probably move at a slower pace and use light pressure.During a relaxation massage there is less emphasis on working out serious adhesion’s or knots in the muscle tissue and the therapist won’t push your pain limits in order to get the muscle to release. Sometimes people even fall asleep during a relaxation massage.

Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes), and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is not uncommon for receivers of deep tissue massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two. Deep tissue work varies greatly.

(Due to the additional stress deep tissue places on therapists hands, the number of these massages may be limit each day. Please specify the request of the deep tissue when you schedule, as therapist may not be able to accomidate additional deep tissue massages upon arrival of your appointment.)

A stone massage uses cold or water-heated stones to apply pressure and heat to the body. Stones mcoated in oil can also be used by the therapist delivering various massaging strokes. The hot stones used are commonly Basalt stones (or lava rocks) which over time have become extremely polished and smooth. As the stones are places along the recipient's back, they help retain heat which then deeply penetrates in the muscles, releasing tension.

(Please pre-schedule hot-stone massages when you call. It takes apprimately 30-45 minutes for stones to properly warm, and therapist will not be able to prep for the massage if requested upon arrival.)

Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber) and vibration/shaking. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks. It has also been shown to be helpful in individuals with poor circulation.

A trigger point  is a hyper-irritable spot that is painful. It is called a trigger point because it “triggers” a painful response. But a trigger point is more than a tender nodule. It affects not only the muscle where the trigger point is located, but also causes “referred pain” in tissues supplied by nerves. Trigger points are located in a taut band of muscles fibers. The trigger point is the most tender point in the band. The therapist will locate and deactivate them using finger pressure.

Pregnancy massage is a light-pressure, relaxing massage for expecting women. We use extra pillows and bolsters to make certain the the mother comfortable and that no extra pressure is placed on the fetus. Massage therapy during pregnancy is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the common discomforts during pregnancy such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches, and swelling. In addition, massage during pregnancy encourages blood circulation, helps to relax nervous tension, and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.
