Highlights
Swedish Massage
Therapists use a combination of five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, to manipulate the body’s soft tissues. The benefits of a Swedish massage may include general relaxation, increased flexibility, relief from muscular tension, decreased muscular discomfort, and improved circulation.
Deep Tissue Massage
This type of massage incorporates greater pressure to reach deeper muscular layers. Deep-tissue massage concentrates on areas of tension and alleviates pain. This is beneficial for those who have been involved in heavy physical activity and may be recommended by a physician.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage combines traditional massage with a variety of compressions, and stretches focusing on muscle systems relevant to a particular sport.
Hot Stone Massage
Depending on your individual needs, hot stone therapy can unlock tension deep within the muscles, relieve stress or help you achieve total relaxation.
Ear Candling
This centuries-old practice is used to relieve pressure, wax build-up and inner-ear blockage. The treatment involves soothing facial massage, followed by placing a slow-burning cylinder gently into your ear. The cylinder is then lit at the opposite end to create a vacuum. You experience no discomfort whatsoever as the vacuum helps to soothe and relax your ear.
Pre/Post Natal Massage
This therapy encompasses massage work done during pregnancy and postpartum. Many of the techniques are similar to what you experience during a regular therapeutic massage session, but they are tailored to the needs of the mother and her current phase of pregnancy. The mother will be positioned to help relieve pressure on the back, pelvis, hips, and abdomen. The goal of perinatal massage is also very similar to that of a regular massage session: loosen the strain on muscles and joints, promote relaxation, decrease stress hormones, and increase blood and lymphatic circulation. Perinatal massage can also help facilitate a more naturally progressive, relaxed, and at times, faster labor.
