Therapeutic Massage combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes, such as rolling, kneading, and percussion, to help improve circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility. Deep Tissue Massage relieves tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body and is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries.
You may feel sore after a deep tissue massage, and your therapist will communicate with you to ensure comfort levels are met. It is essential to hydrate before and after these sessions. Hot Stone Therapy uses heated stones placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles.
Muscles heated with these stones release tension and stress faster and on a deeper level than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating. Therapeutic cupping is a combination of massage movements and negative pressure with the use of a suction device on the skin. A cup is positioned at the area to be treated and, depending on the type of cups being used, a vacuum is created within the cup to draw the skin and underlying tissue into the cup.
The produced vacuum creates a suction effect that increases blood and lymphatic circulation to the localized area to draw stagnant, pathogenic factors and toxins out while relaxing and supporting muscle tissue.
Gua sha is part of traditional Chinese medicine in which a tool is used to scrape one's skin. Gua sha releases unhealthy bodily matter from blood stasis within sore, tired, stiff or injured muscles. New oxygenated blood flows to the areas, thus promoting metabolic cell repair, regeneration, healing and recovery. Book A Session. Therapeutic Massage. Deep Tissue. Hot Stone. Ready to Get Started?
