Massage is suitable for every body, regardless of age, shape, or
condition. Each session is custom designed for the individual client.
It begins with an intake; a brief discussion of your current state of
health and chief complaint in order to establish an appropriate course
of treatment. Therapeutic treatments include injury prevention and
recovery, pregnancy support, chronic pain and illnes, musculoskeletal
imbalance, repetitive stress syndromes, and emotional and physical
relaxation.
Swedish-based massage involves direct contact with muscles and
tissues, integrating myofascial release, stretching, reflexology,
aromatherapy, deep tissue and sports techniques, and heat and cold
therapy. The client lies on a massage table, covered by a sheet or
towel, and each area of the body is undraped only when being worked
on.
Shiatsu is a graceful Japanese style of bodywork using gentle passive
stretching and the application of pressure to stimulate the chi (life
force) flowing through the body. It is profoundly relaxing, and
promotes energetic balance in the body, with the potential to heal a
wide range of ailments. Shiatsu is commonly practiced on a mat the
floor, with the client wearing comfortable clothing. Shiatsu sessions
can also include heat, aromatherapy, cupping, gua sha, and sotai
exercise.
Prenatal massage is available! Support a pregnancy with a relaxing and
