Massage

Acupressure
An ancient style of bodywork based on the Chinese meridian system. Many patients think of it as acupuncture without needles. Instead, finger pressure is used to help release armoring patterns found throughout the body.

Acutonics
Similar to acupressure, acutonics uses tuning forks instead of finger pressure on the acupoints. It is a phenomenal way to establish a connection with your entire body. Clients often times report feeling the vibration at locations far from the tuning forks placement.

Ashiatsu
An incredibly deep massage with Swedish massage style strokes. The therapist uses bars suspended from the ceiling to moderate the depth of pressure, so she can use her feet to massage your aches and pains away.

Craniosacral Therapy
Light touch is used to release the connective tissue between the bones in the skull and the membranes which encase the brain and spinal cord. This can induce a deep state of relaxation.

Trigger Point Therapy

Deep Tissue/Sports Massage
A type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement.

Injury Treatment/Medical Massage
Most insurance plans require either a prescription or a referral for massage. If your provider has prescribed massage, we'll work closely with her/him to provide you the best possible course of treatment.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Specifically designed technique to remove unwanted toxins, edema, and inflammation from tissue bruised by surgery, accident or disease.

Pregnancy Massage
Body cushions allow the mother-to-be to be placed in a face down position without putting pressure on the abdomen. This takes pressure off the low back and provides a comfortable position to stay in for an extended time.

Reflexology
An effective holistic therapeutic foot or hand massage. Gentle finger pressure is applied to reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to body areas in need of healing.
