Deep Tissue/Neuromuscular Massage
Deep Tissue massage refers to specific techniques that work the deeper layers of muscle, tendons, and fascia to help realign tissue and relieve muscle tension.
Neuromuscular massage therapy aims at restoring balance between soft
tissue, muscles, tendons, and connective tissue with the central nervous
system.It's focus is to eliminate or decrease pain by
locating and softening trigger pointsin the muscle(nodules of contracted muscle fibers or 'knots') using
static pressure.Injury,
trauma, or poor postural habits can cause muscle dysfunction and promote the activation
of trigger points.Pain is
generally transferred or triggered beyond the site of the point causing
discomfortand stress.
Swedish Massage Swedish massage uses specific techniques including effleurage (long strokes), petrissage (kneading) and friction designed to reduce muscle tension, increase circulation, and improve range of motion and joint movement. This more rhythmic style of massage helps restore balance in the body and promotes deep relaxation easing the effects of stress on the body and mind.
Aromatherapy Massage A special blend of grapeseed oil and pure essential oils is used to enhance any Swedish or Deep Tissue massage. Essential oils are the natural oils extracted from flowers, stems, bark, roots, and leaves from different plants. Aromatherapy is widely believed to provide health benefits including stress and headache relief, mood enhancement, hormone regulation, muscle relaxation, and immune system stimulation, to name a few.
Hot Stone Therapy Hot Stone Massage incorporates the use of smooth heated stones using Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques. Special warm aromatic oil is use to promote optimal relaxation. Wonderful in the colder winter months.
Myofascial Release Myofascial Release is a technique that provides deep sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to restore movement and eliminate pain. Fascia (connective tissue) resembles a spider web and connects to all soft tissue, bones, organs, nerves, and arteries throughout the body. Stress in the tissue caused by physical or emotional trauma, repetitive strain injuries, and poor posture can restrict the fascia causing pain and discomfort. Myofascial Release techniques work to release these restrictions and improve movement and range of motion.
