Swedish Massage
is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or
lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to
help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork
are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress
levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater
flexibility. ($70 per hour, $45 per
1/2 hour)
Deep Tissue Massage
is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of
tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for
releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and
past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication
during the session is crucial to make sure you don’t get too uncomfortable.
Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that
plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of
toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session. ($70 per hour, $45 per 1/2 hour)
Sports Massage
is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in
athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to
injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances
performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce
pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and
dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly
effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by
encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body’s
natural immune function. ($70 per hour, $45 per 1/2 hour)
Hot Stone Therapy
is a type of bodywork that uses deep penetrating heat from specialized
stones. The physiological benefits of this treatment to the body have
long been scientifically and medically proven.
Stone Therapy delivers a
profound effect to your circulatory system, improving the function of your
lymphatic and immune systems, and enhancing your body’s self-healing
mechanisms. This style of bodywork takes you into deep states of
relaxation, releasing stress and anxiety, detoxifying the body, and balancing
your nervous system. ($80
per hour $110 per 90 mins)
