Massage

• Swedish Massage
  Swedish massage is what most people mean when they use the general term massage. It is one of the most relaxing types of massage to receive and is often used for a full-body session although your massage therapist can focus on specific problem areas. The general techniques are gliding, kneading, tapping, and vibrating or shaking; used on different muscles in the body depending on the desired result. It promotes general relaxation, improves circulation and range of motion, and relieves muscle tension.
• Deep Tissue Massage
  Deep tissue massage is often confused with deep pressure massage. Deep pressure massage means a constant, strong pressure throughout the session. Deep tissue massage can indeed have a significant amount of pressure behind certain techniques but deep tissue always has a goal. It is used on ailments like chronic pain, recovery from injuries, limited mobility, postural problems and muscle tension or spasm, among others.
• Sports Massage
  Sports massage is designed for the physically active and combines various techniques including deep tissue, range of motion, stretching and resistance work. Since each type of sport has different demands and uses different muscle groups in different ways, the massage will be designed to address those specific concerns and may differ according to the sport the athlete plays. Sports massage can 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.
• Hot Stone Massage
  Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones, either as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body while they massage other parts of the body. The stones are placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand, or on the feet. The heat is deeply relaxing, helping to warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly.
• Prenatal Massage
  The benefits of prenatal massage are numerous. It helps in development by improving circulation which enhances oxygen and nutrient flow to the fetus. The therapy encourages a healthy labor as it relaxes muscle tension, diminishes swelling and discomfort and enhances hip flexibility. After just one session your endorphins and serotonin increases, promoting well-being of mother and child as body chemistry becomes more balanced.
• Couples Massage$280+
  There’s no hard and fast rule that says a couples massage has to be strictly for couples. It has become popular to enjoy group massages with your bridesmaids before the big day and has become a common gift for the bride and groom to enjoy in the weeks after wedding. Some couples find it a great benefit to schedule massages near the due date of their child’s birth as a pre-natal massage can lead to a shorter time in labor and a more relaxed father and mother.

Chiropractic Services

• Stretching
• Manipulation Therapy
  The therapist develops an individualized strategy to restore the client’s healthy posture and reduce pain. Overly tightened tissues are relaxed through the use of specifically applied manual therapy.
• Myofascial Therapy
  Myofascial release therapy focuses on "unsticking" places where the fascia is stuck or glued to relieve the tension and guide the muscles into their proper place. Myofascial release is light superficial work with deep intention. When a therapist hooks into the fascia on the skin oftentimes they'll be working deep down to where the muscle attaches to the bone or around bony protrusions were it may be stuck. Myofascial release is quite relaxing in itself as the process is quite gentle. Often a knowledgeable therapist merely has to heat up the area with certain techniques to unglue the fascia. Fascia is a system that runs through the entire body and it is wise in that it knows where it should be. When a therapist unglues fascia it then guides the therapist telling them where it needs to be by the natural direction in which it pulls.
