Massage Modalities We Practice
Whether you are seeking pain relief or just looking to relax, you will be in good hands. Our bodyworkers use a combination of massage modalities tailored to each client’s needs.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage, sometimes referred to as clinical massage, utilizes slower strokes to release chronic tension patterns and adhesions formed in the deeper layers of muscle tissue.
Trigger Point/Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)
Trigger Point/NMT massage is a specialized form of deep tissue massage that treats areas of irritation within strained bands of muscle tissue. These irritated areas, formally known as trigger points, are present in most cases of chronic muscular pain.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is one of the most widely recognized and practiced modalities in the West. The massage therapist uses five long, flowing strokes to increase oxygen to the blood stream and flush toxins from the superficial muscle tissue.
Prenatal Massage
Evidence shows that therapeutic massage during pregnancy is beneficial to maternal and fetal health. Regular prenatal sessions can relieve tension in muscles and joints, reduce anxiety and depression, increase circulation of the lymphatic and circulatory systems and reduce swelling, and actually shift the balance in hormones to improve labor outcomes.
