Therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage

The term “deep tissue” is often misused to identify a massage that is performed with sustained deep pressure. Deep tissue massage is a separate category of massage therapy, used to treat particular musculoskeletal disorders and complaints and employs a dedicated set of techniques and strokes to achieve a measure of relief. Deep tissue massage helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation, and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. It is generally integrated with other therapeutic massage techniques.

Swedish Relaxation Massage

One of the most well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Swedish massage includes long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, and shaking motions, with the application of oil or lotion to reduce friction on the skin. It is effective for most ailments, because massaging the skin, the body’s largest organ, sets up a chain reaction that produces a positive effect on all layers and systems of the body. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, and promotes general health and wellbeing

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle form of massage that helps to relive inflammation related to lymphedema. Lymphedema is swelling that occurs when illness or medical treatment clogs your lymphatic system. Lymphedema is a common side effect of many health conditions, such as recovering from cancer treatment/surgery, chronic venous insufficiency, fibromyalgia, lipedema and Rheumatoid arthritis. Lymphatic drainage massage can also be beneficial if your lymphatic system isn’t working as it should. A congested lymph system can present as: bloating, bran fog, chronic sinus infections, headaches, and swelling. Lymphatic massage involves gently manipulating specific areas of the body to move excess fluid buildup away from your tissues and toward working lymph vessels and lymph nodes so they can get rid of the toxins in your body.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage will be booked with Tammy. The first visit will be 90mins with follow up visits being 60mins.

Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. The gentle, noninvasive approach of prenatal massage can ease discomfort associated with pregnancy, help the mother-to-be prepare for labor, and give her nurturing emotional support. It can enhance the function of muscles and joints, relieve muscle soreness and spasm especially in the lower back and hips, improve circulation and general body tone, and relieve mental and physical fatigue. It can also help to improve sleep, reduce stress hormone levels, help regulate heart rate and blood pressure, and reduce swelling. Prenatal massage at our office is performed with the expectant mother positioned comfortably on her side with pillows used for support.

Prenatal Massages will be booked with Tammy and LeAnna.
