Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its 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.
Active Isolated Stretching
Developed by Aaron Mattes, Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a dynamic system for improving your flexibility and overall well-being. As you probably already know, stretching your muscles not only reduces your chance of injury, but also strengthens your tendons and improves your circulation.
Craneosacral Therapy
Craneosacral Therepy is a complimentary treatment that releases tension and anxiety, and can reduce pain, relieve dysfunction, and improve whole-body health. Once someone experiences CST, they often look forward to this as part or all of their session.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage is a type of massage that encourages the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products through lymph vessels to the lymph nodes and to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Lymph drainage uses rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle manual therapy designed to encourage normal mobility, tone, and tissue motion of the viscera, as well as their connective tissue, and other body areas where physiologic motion has been impaired.
The principle that the optimal body requires motion in order to be healthy is applied to all structures within the body as well.
Techniques will be used to restore the natural movement of the organs, which often results in the improvement / function of that organ.
