What Type Of Massage Should I Get?   
You can choose which type of massage you want or in your first session we will decide which therapies will be best for you. Each session is tailored to suit your individual needs.

Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy is an advanced clinical approach to massage therapy. NMT searches out patterns of pain and locates the source. Tissues are restored to health and normal function. NMT breaks the pain cycle within the nervous system and brings lasting relief to chronic pain and injury. This treatment includes careful observation and evaluation of posture and movement patterns followed by specific and thorough manipulation of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to release contracted tissue, increase circulation, erase trigger points, reduce nerve entrapment, and help correct postural distortion. This technique is very effective in the treatment of pain due to injury, stress, repetitive strain, postural distortion, post surgical syndromes and chronic neuromuscular conditions.

Orthopedic & Sports Injury
A variety of techniques are used to help with the recovery from accidents or injury including facial release, myoskelatal alignment, and cyriax cross fiber friction. Helping to restore normal range of motion and facilitate the healing process.

Swedish Massage Therapy
Swedish is the most common type of massage. Specific strokes and pressure are used to release a dysfunctional holding pattern. It includes long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints. This therapy promotes general relaxation, improves blood circulation and range of motion, and relieves muscle tension.  Soothing strokes leave your mind and body feeling renewed and relaxed. 

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue massage releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. Stretching and joint mobilization are used to help increase fluidity of movement.

Raindrop Aromatherapy
A Massage treatment using pure essential oils to assist in clearing out of toxins, releasing the spine and deeply relaxing the mind and body.  Oils are applied to each side of the spine and worked in as gently or deeply as you like.   Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for their curative and rejuvenating effects. Dating back to ancient Egypt, India, and the Far East, this simple therapy has been used for centuries to reduce stress and tension, refresh and invigorate the body, soothe emotions, and clear the mind. When inhaled the aroma directly affects the limbic area of the brain that is related to emotions and memories.  A full body massage is included in this treatment.

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage
 Maya Abdominal Massage is a non-invasive, external massage technique. It guides internal abdominal organs, focused on the uterus, into their proper position for optimum health and well-being. The uterus is held in position by over 10 ligaments. Ligaments, when stressed or strained cause the uterus to become mal-positioned. If the uterus is mal-positioned, women experience a multitude of symptoms. Maya massage improves organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen. For more information see The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage page.
