Description Of Massage Services
Swedish Massage:Long smooth strokes, kneading, and circular movements on superficial layers of muscle using massage lotion or oil. If you never had a massage before, this is a good one to try first.
Geriatric Massage: Encompasses basic relaxation and stress relief, and is a beneficial tool in fighting many symptoms of aging. This is very gentle, and offers comfort without irritating the skin.
Pre-Natal Massage: Used to reduce stress, decrease swelling, relieve aches and pains, and reduce anxiety and depression.
Deep Tissue Massage: A type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structure of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. This massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as the Swedish Massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense and focused to release muscle tension.

Myofascial Release: A very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into the myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
Reflexology: Applying pressure to certain points on the foot the correspond to organs and systems in the body. Very relaxing, especially for people who stand on their feet all day or just have tired, achy feet.
Cranial Sacral: Seeks to restore the natural rhythmic movements between the bones of the skull and the movements of the sacrum. Aids circulation within the central nervous system.
Manual Lymph Drainage: A very gentle type of massage therapy used to drain excess fluid from the body and improve overall functioning of the lymphatic (immune) system.
Neuro muscular Therapy: is very detailed massage of muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, etc. Precise massage therapy releases problem areas that are missed by general massage. Neuro muscular massage techniques often use the thumbs or fingertips to explore tissues in detail. Elbows or forearms are also used, when necessary. Tense muscles often form bands of muscle fibers even tighter than the rest. These are areas of hypertonicity and ischemia. Searching thoroughly, I can feel bands of tight muscle fibers; the areas that are in the most trouble. These are found and treated until they release.
Sports Massage: The main purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. The massage will help prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility and to prevent injuries. Sports massage can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether a person is an athlete or a once a week jogger.
