STRESS REDUCING MASSAGE THERAPY

To help release tight muscles, slightly more pressure might be applied with fingers, knuckles or elbows. THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE This type of massage is an advanced system of massage therapy which includes plethora of therapeutic massage techniques. Greater therapeutic effect comes from a combination of advanced friction techniques developed in Finland; Russian kneading techniques; lymphatic pumping developed in France; passive stretching widely practiced in the USA; and myofascial release techniques originated in Austria and Germany.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE THERAPY is designed to help move lymph fluid through the body, assisting the body's cleansing cycle and improving the immune system. The practitioner guides the lymph toward the various lymph node areas so it can be collected and drained from the body. It is light, but very effective therapy. It helps with chronic pain, fatigue, autoimmune conditions, and in post-surgery recovery. CHINESE CUPPING THERAPY is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. AROMATHERAPY
supplements massage therapy session. Exclusive therapeutic-grade essential oils (doTerra and Young Living brands) are used in one of two ways: 1. the oil diffusion; 2. the oil is massaged into the skin. We prefer the first method since some people may have skin reactions and allergies. |
PRENATAL MASSAGE THERAPY
Touch therapy for mother-to-be. This type of massage is administered on the side-lying position with bolsters and pillows to support proper position of the fetus. It also allows to work on the areas of mother's low back, shoulders, neck. Lymphatic drainage techniques allow to drain excess fluids from swelled up feet. DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE THERAPY
There is a difference between deep tissue massage and firm pressure. Excessive pressure can be a very destructive power that may result in injury, severe medical complications, and earn bad reputation for massage therapy. On the other hand, deep tissue massage effectively and softly releases tension in deep fascia. Massage strokes are applied in a slow mindful manner accompanied with client's deep breathing to allow the tissue to release without causing discomfort and pain. SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPY
The session focuses on athletic needs, such as areas of the body that are stressed from repetitive use. It is most useful for those who exercise vigorously and participate in sports regularly. Sports Massage allows quick recovery after physical activity and helps to prevent injury. Post-event massage should be administered 1,5 hours after the event for the best outcome COUPLE'S MASSAGE THERAPY

A couple's massage is offered in a private room on a side-by-side massage tables with two therapists who work on each individual at the same time.

Lomi Lomi is best know for its long, flowing, dance-like strokes, often using forearms and generous amounts of oil. Gentle stretches and joint rotations are common in this massage, as the massage therapist massaging two parts of your body at the same time, for example, using one hand or forearm on your shoulder while simultaneously massaging a hip with the other hand or forearm. TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
Various studies have estimated that in 75-95% of cases of regional and referred pain find that trigger point are the principal cause. This therapy relieves sources of pain through a very particular technique utilizing vibration, ischemic compression, and post-isometric muscular relaxation technique. HOT STONE MASSAGE
utilizes warm-to-hot (120-150 degrees) to direct heat deeply into the muscles. The application of deep heat on muscles have a sedative effect and is effective in treating hypertension and managing pain by dilating blood vessels, loosening tense muscles, and allowing a therapist quick access to deeper layers of soft tissue in less time. Hot stones can be used as an extension of therapist's hands (in motion), or by careful placement. |
