Our Modalities

Swedish massage involves long, kneading strokes combined with rhythmic tapping strokes and movement of the joints. This type of massage targets the uppermost layer of muscles and aims to relieve muscle tension. This modality is the preferred choice those seeking relaxation.

Deep tissue massage targets chronic tension in muscles that lie far below the body's surface. Deep muscle techniques involve slow strokes, direct pressure or friction movements that go across the muscle grain. This modality is the preferred choice for those needing more intensity in order to relieve pain and tension.

Trigger point myotherapy also known as neuromuscular therapy consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of deep muscle tension. Pressure is applied with the fingers, knuckles, and/or elbow in ten to thirty second intervals to effectively alleviate the muscle tension. This modality is the preferred choice for those seeking relief of chronic or acute pain usually caused by overuse, misalignment or a sports injury.

Sports massage is specifically tailored to different sports and sporting injuries. It is not a relaxing form of massage and can often be quite strenuous. It works by stretching tight muscles, stimulating inactive muscles and improving the condition of the soft tissue. This modality is performed with the client clothed in comfortable and non-restrictive clothing conducive to movement.

Prenatal massage is a full body massage performed by a certified prenatal massage therapist that is similar to a Swedish massage except for a few modifications with body positioning that can ensure the safety and comfort for both mother and baby.

Cupping therapy is a traditional healing practice that involves placing suction cups on the skin to create negative pressure. The suction causes myofascial decompression by drawing the skin and underlying tissues into the cup. This practice can improve blood flow, release muscle tension, and promote healing. It is commonly used for pain relief, increased mobility, and to aid in conditions like back pain, headaches, and facial issues.

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The practitioner uses light touch to release tensions in the head, neck, spine and sacrum, aiming to improve nervous system function, relieve pain, and promote relaxation. It's often used for headaches, stress, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal issues.

Neurosomatic therapy (NST) is a therapeutic massage modality that focuses on identifying and understanding the root causes of pain and musculoskeletal issues. It combines techniques from massage therapy, neuromuscular therapy, and postural analysis to address imbalances in the body. The therapy is centered around the idea that chronic pain often results from dysfunctional patterns in the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues. Through precise muscle manipulation, stretching, trigger point, NST aims to restore proper function, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
