MUSCULAR THERAPIES

     Types of Treatment

  • Deep Tissue: The areas of the body holding deep tension or bound by scar tissue are treated with deep pressure through leverage and using the thumb, forearm or elbow as a point of contact. To facilitate release and decrease discomfort, the client often participates with active range of motion during treatment. This active movement creates a chemical release in the muscles allowing for greater range of motion. Some of the deep tissue techniques used are trigger point therapy, myofascial mobilization, and cross-fiber friction.
  • Hot Stone: A relaxation massage enhanced through the use of hot stones placed strategically on one part of the body, while the therapist takes another stone and massages another part.
  • NMR - NeuroMuscular Re-education: Used to break the cycle of pain that may begin with injury, illness, or stress by locating pain-causing areas through postural analysis, muscle testing and trigger point detection techniques. Muscles and connective tissues with poor blood circulation can house 'trigger points' that pass pain onto other areas of the body. NMR focuses on increasing blood flow to flush waste from muscular tissue.
  • Myofascial Release/Mobilization: Uses slow elongating strokes that work with the connective tissue fabric know as fascia. Myofascial work restores movement and flexibility of the body and un-adheres those "glued areas that feel stuck."
  • Pregnancy: An expectant mother must be beyond the 1st trimester (at least 13 weeks pregnant) and without serious complications. Let us ease your mind and ensure that you'll receive a treatment that is safe for you and your baby.
  • Relaxation: This treatment is intended to relax mind, body and spirit using a combination of techniques.  Relaxation techniques include Swedish massage, myofascial release, head and foot massages using reflexology and hot stone enhanced massage. Give yourself this break – you deserve it!
  • Sports Massage: This treatment is great for athletes of all kinds. Deep stretching at times with the client participating, release of deep tension with trigger pointing and other massage techniques.
  • Reiki: Japanese for "Universal Life Energy" Asian societies believe that the body possesses a life energy and that blockages to this energy can cause disease and dysfunction. Reiki treatments balance and restore this life energy—an energy we all possess, but rarely tap into—by lightly touching or hovering the hand over the body. You remain fully dressed, recline on a massage table and are covered by a blanket. Since the treatment is gentle and requires you to focus on relaxation and calming, Reiki treatments affect the mind, body and spirit. It is often used in hospital settings to aid patients in relieving various symptoms from chemotherapy, depression and operative stress. Reiki can be used when bodywork is otherwise contraindicated (i.e., during chemotherapy usage, for patients on blood thinners, etc.).

    Reiki is known to reduce stress, increase energy levels, improve your immune system and even reduce anxiety and depression.

  • Body and Soul Massage: This is the perfect treatment for the over-worked and stressed out! After the body is worked in a traditional one-hour Swedish massage, the session is capped with a 30 minute Reiki treatment. Reiki will enhance the benefits of the massage as it reduces the physical pains as well as the mental, emotional pains that life can bring.

All treatments are therapeutic in nature. Our therapist always works as conservatively or as aggressively as the client dictates and according to how quickly you want to see improvement.

Sports, Deep Tissue & NMR can be uncomfortable in order to achieve the needed tension/adhesion release.

Pregnancy massage is comfortable in nature of providing the treatment, but the expectant mother is sometimes uncomfortable with the physical demands the pregnancy is placing on her body.

All first treatments are one hour. This gives us an opportunity to check the entire body for sources of tension and causes of referred pain.

We provide personalized treatment to fit your schedule. Therapy can be provided at your office, home or at our facility.
