- Deep Tissue MassageIt depends on the techniques used. Your massage session may start with broad flowing strokes to begin the relaxation process. Pressure will be gradually increased to relax specific areas and release tight muscle bands. Deep tissue massage or trigger point therapies will require deeper pressure and more intensive techniques. It’s important that the pressure always be within your comfort level. Should you wish to receive less or more pressure at anytime, tell your therapist.
- Full Body MassageYou and the therapist will discuss the desired outcome. A typical full body massage session will include work on your back, arms, legs, head, neck and shoulders. You will not be touched on or near your genitals or breasts.
- Electrical Muscle StimulationThis modality isn’t just designed to relieve pain, but to vastly improve your quality of life. While the needs of each patient are unique, we generally recommend a course of 20 sessions over a six-week period for optimal results.
