Massage

Massage is defined as the application of various techniques to the muscular structure and soft tissues of the human body. Massage stretches and loosens muscle and connective tissue while improving blood flow and lymph movement. This speeds the removal of metabolic waste products from the cells resulting from exercise or inactivity. Massage stimulates the release of endorphins which improve the sense of well-being.

Massage gives tangible benefits on three levels:

Deep relaxation and stress release
Relief of muscle tension and stiffness
Increased ease and efficiency of movement
Better circulation of Blood and Lymph

Relaxed state of alertness
Decreased mental stress
Greater ability to respond to stress signals
Increased ability for clear thinking

Feeling of well being
Enhanced self image
Reduced levels of anxiety
Increased awareness of the mind-body connection

Swedish Massage:
In Swedish Massage, the strokes are broad, working larger muscle groups. The strokes are always in the direction of the heart because of moving blood and lymph. Swedish Massage is for relaxation and stress relief. This is your feel good massage.

Deep Tissue:
Deep tissue is not really about going deep. This massage is very muscle specific. Muscles are worked from their origin, through the belly, to insertion. This massage is for those with specific muscle pain that needs to be worked out.

Myofacial:
Myofacial Massage involves assessing the body and applying stretches to the fascia and connective tissue between muscle and bone. The goal of myofacial is to reduce or eliminate pain, and increase range of motion, and balance the body. This massage is good for chronic pain or range of motion problems.

Appointments are available for 1/2 hours or hours.
