Lymph Drainage
The goal of Lymph Drainage Therapy is to gently move lymph and improve circulation, especially addressing swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing function of the immune system as well as overall mobility. As both a preventative and remedial technique, this can be used for a wide range of purposes, including to reduce swelling and promote faster recovery from injury, surgery, pregnancy, and after cancer treatments.
Orthopedic/Clinical/Medical
This is a style of specific massage therapy focused on treating painful and/or restricted movement conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body, including aging, injuries, surgery, and illness. Because clinical massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. This modality can release constricted muscles, help to stretch and lengthen tight muscles and tendons, and encourage movement in rigid joints (including arthritic movement restrictions). The goal is to restore health to the soft tissues of your body by treating your specific conditions, as well as to improve your overall well-being. The viewpoint and input of the client is an integral part of this therapy.
Deep Tissue/TriggerPoint Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These "knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques in order to release your trigger points. This process can be slightly painful during treatment, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically to support a woman's body throughout the extraordinary physical and emotional changes that take place during her pregnancy. Special bolsters and pillows are used to support her appropriately at every stage of pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including increased dimensions of support, the relief of joint pain and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
CranioSacral (SM)
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience.
