Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well, but they can be other types. The heat is both deeply relaxing and helps tight muscles release.

 Couple's Massage

Couples massage is one of the hottest services at the clinic right now. Two people are massaged at the same time, by two different therapists. It can be a husband and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend, same-sex partners,  moms and daughters, and sometimes best friends.

 Deep Tissue Massage

For people who suffer from consistent pain or have serious injury and people who participate in strenuous activity often, deep tissue massage is an effective treatment. Keep in mind, the intensity of this type of massage may cause the patient to feel sore even days after the massage.

Prenatal massage is a form of therapeutic bodywork performed by a licensed specialist, that is tailored to meet the unique needs of the pregnant woman. Promoting better function of muscles and joints, prenatal massage also improves circulation and overall body tone.

 Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is perhaps the most well-known massage technique. It is a style that uses a series of fluid strokes to massage the body, including gliding, kneading and rhythmic tapping. As a therapeutic treatment, Swedish massage has been used to help treat joint stiffness, reduce pain from arthritis and osteoarthritis and improve poor circulation.

 Reflexology

The basis for reflexology is the belief that there are reflexes in the hands and feet that relate to every gland, organ, and body system. Reflexology massage focuses on massaging and applying pressure to these key points with the goal of improving overall body health. (Points are located in the hands and feet)

 Sports / Athlete Massage

Sports massage prepares athletes, sport enthusiasts, joggers, personal trainers, etc. for high energy activities at peak performance. Sports therapy energizes, relieves swelling, reduces muscle tension, and promotes flexibility, to prevent the recurrence of injuries. Sports therapy helps to alleviate the stress, tension and toxins which build up in the body’s soft tissues during overexertion and demanding physical activities.

 Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger points are "points" or spots of hyper-irritated skeletal muscles caused by some form of injury. The injured area of the muscle contracts, which restricts normal blood flow and allows the build-up of toxins to accumulate. Pain, numbness, tingling and weakness is felt at the trigger point, and "referred pain" is felt in other locations in the body. In Trigger Point massage, the therapist applies static compression for 10 seconds, releases the pressure, and reapplies the pressure 10 more seconds in a pumping action while the client breathes deeply. This action flushes the toxins, calms the nerves, releases endorphins and re-energizes the body and mind.

     Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a unique form of massage that targets the fascia, the thin tissue that covers every organ, every muscle and muscle fiber in the body. When muscle fibers are injured, from sports injuries, fibromyalgia, back pain, recurring headaches, etc. the fascia which surrounds it become short and tight. This uneven stress can be transmitted through the fascia to other parts of the body, causing pain and a variety of other symptoms in areas you often wouldn't expect. Myofascial Release treats these symptoms by releasing the uneven tightness in injured fascia. In other words, Myofascial Release is the therapeutic stretching of the fascia.
